  Honda Lude Review - 2000 Honda Prelude
  By wkaisers - October 27 - 2:00 am

  This is an excellent car and a shame Honda stopped production of the Prelude. A great used car and fortuneately for prospective buyers, good deals are out there for low- mileage Preludes.

  Once is never enough - 2000 Honda Prelude
  By beartraper - October 19 - 2:00 am

  I bought a 97 Lude when it was new and loved it for two years. I later needed more room so I traded it in. Now that Im looking for a used second car, Im back. I bought a oo model and its like going back in time - just as I remembered. Im amazed at how this car has held its value. Its a timeless design that will never look old and the best sports coupe in its class. Add in the reliability and theres no competition for this car.

  LUDES RULE - 2000 Honda Prelude
  By gatorfan69 - October 7 - 2:00 am

  Just upgraded from 97 auto to 00 SH model. Base model is nice, but SH is a must for true performance. The SH offers dramatically improved handling and whips corners as fast as the driver can handle. The car has ample power, but anything could use more power. Add some bolt ons for a few more horses. Love the styling (the headlights grow on you), but interior is a bit bland, and can be unconfortabe for a taller person. Good gas mileage unless you push into Vtec on every gear. Could use a 6th gear for better hwy mileage. I have some worry about my clutch already making noise at 44k mi. But I bought it at 40k, and I dont know how it was treated.

  FUN FUN FUN - 2000 Honda Prelude
  By hotinhere - August 25 - 2:00 am

  Fun to drive. Utterly reliable. Handles like a dream. Complete strangers offer compliments on it. Suprisingly comfortable on long trips with two adults. Best sports car for the money.

  excellent for a leisure/sport driver - 2000 Honda Prelude
  By docutjames - August 20 - 2:00 am

  I fell in love with Preludes even more after I purchased one. The steering is amazing....one can turn and turn and turn....and the car will still hold. Fuel economy is well done, and the power is not likea a car that gets good gas mileage. 196 wheel horsepower makes Vtec at 5200 RPMs ample the amount of power.

  Not to shabby - 2000 Honda Prelude
  By Eric Blum - August 4 - 2:00 am

  This car is not bad for the price.I just feel that for the way it looks it needed a bit more power. I feel the looks are the hook and sinker for this car.

  Civic Si on steroids - 2000 Honda Prelude
  By speedbird - June 23 - 2:00 am

  Most of the problems I had were really my fault (like trying to roll down the window when it was frozen) My biggest complains are a couple of noises from the engine that the Honda dealer says not to worry about. The clutch sometimes slips and makes a griding noise. The clutch is kind of hard to press. I keep getting check engine light, dealer says everything is ok. So far the only money I have put in the car is for oil changes and I have 51000 miles. The interior looks like a 1980s Honda Accord, but its built strong. Forget about the 2 seats in the back. Dont buy it if you are more than 6 feet tall. Its a Honda, but its not indestructible.

  Transmission - 2000 Honda Prelude
  By memyselfI - May 6 - 2:00 am

  DO NOT BUY THIS CAR WITH AN AUTO TRANSMISSION! Honda has extended the warranty to 7 year / 100,000 miles due to problems. Great, right. WRONG! With only 39,000 miles on it the trans was leaking and needed replacement. Great, a new Trans. WRONG - REMANUFACTURED. So how much does a new one cost. SORRY CANT GET ONE IN THE USA. So much for Hyundai, Oops I mean Honda. If you work for honda and are reading this. Think about your reputation now, I hope your proud.

  First time, some surprises, mostly good. - 2000 Honda Prelude
  By Locutiss - March 19 - 2:00 am

  My first new car in 13 years and my first time driving a Prelude. The dealer had a Black, 2000, 4-speed sequential sport shift transmission. Cost $1000 more than the 5-speed manual. After I got used to the transmission and shifter, I really appreciated its benefits. Car has rock- solid handling, cornering and braking. Sturdily built and low to the ground (another feature that takes getting used to). I regularly use both sides of the sport-shifter. I plan to keep the car for a long time.
