  • Prelude for life - 2000 Honda Prelude
    By -

    I have owned three preludes and this is the best to date. Good performance, styling, quality. The best of all 5 generations of Preludes combined.

  • Excellent sports car - 2000 Honda Prelude
    By -

    This was the first car I bought for myself and its been a pleasurable driving experience the entire time Ive owned it. There hasnt been a single instance of mechanical fault, and I still turn my head to look back at my car when I walk away--and even after 3 years I still feel a swell of pride that this car belongs to me. I havent seen another car with such nice exterior looks anywhere near the price range. I got leather seats installed-- I recommend this highly.

  • Reliable Honda? - 2000 Honda Prelude
    By -

    I will NEVER own another Honda. This car burns oil....at least a quart every 1,000 miles. Ive talked to my dealership numerous times (they know my face now) and Ive even talked to American Honda via letters and phone calls. I am always told that this is the way the car is built and there is nothing that Honda can do for me. My low oil pressure indicator light has come on twice since Ive owned the car. Its a beautiful car, but its not reliable and I certainly dont expect it to live as long as Honda predicts their cars should last. American Honda has a failing grade from the BBB. Dont buy a Honda.

  • Noisy Rear Suspension - 2000 Honda Prelude
    By -

    This car has been nice, with the exception of a noisy rear suspension. I love the exterior styling and motor is very strong for a 2.2L. However, whenever I hit bumps, or leave a driveway, or do anything to move the rear suspension much, it squeaks and grinds. This has been fixed twice by the dealer, only to return. I am ready to take it in for a third time, before my warranty ends. I may end up trading the vehicle in since it seems to be a design flaw, rather than a repairable issue. This isnt what I expected from Honda.

  • Best Practical Sports Car Out There - 2000 Honda Prelude
    By -

    If you want a practical sports car, look no further. Good fuel economy, enough room to fit four people if you absolutely have to (but recommended for two - and perhaps a baby seat in the back.) Amazing handling for a front wheel drive car (Car & Driver says it is the best handling car under $30,000 - and fourth best at any price.) My car has had zero defects, zero squeaks, zero rattles, and zero problems..

    Great acceleration, great handling for such a large car. 200 hp VTEC engine is extremely pronounced when VTEC hits.

  • Too bad you cant buy em new anymore - 2000 Honda Prelude
    By -

    The first can I ever purchased new and a good choice at that. What every "big- muffler" Civic Si wants to be when it grows up. If you have to transport kids or more than one adult, forget it, but if your life permits such a car, go for it. No major defects, but would sure like it if the dealer could find and silence the sunroof squeak and figure out why the front suspension creaks and pops on warm days like my knees on cold days. BUY A K&N FILTER!!: $20 for a regular replacement is robbery. $40 for a K&N and its the last air filter youll have to buy.
