One Sweet Car - 2000 Honda Prelude
By bh - December 30 - 9:13 pmI bought this car as I loved the sleek and sporty body style plus knew of Hondas reliability. Ive owned the car over 4 years and the only thing Ive done is put a new battery in it. Due to my getting older I am thinking about trading it for a Tacoma but am having a very difficult time bringing myself to do it. 28 MPG on the open road and it handles so smoothly. The paint on it still has a showroom shine but I really baby the car. If anyone is looking for an incredibly sporty car that will get you looks plus the added benefit of great reliability than get yourself one of these babies. You wont be sorry.

My Dream Car. Also My best Car - 2000 Honda Prelude
By David in Colorado - October 28 - 3:06 amThe most excellent combination of practicality and sports coupe. My car has been a dream for the most part. I have 215,000 miles and limited maintenance. The ignition switch at 80,000 was a recall item. I didnt listen to my mechanic about flushing the tranny at every 60K, and the filter finally clogged at 170,000 miles. Otherwise, I have had no other problems. One nagging issue, is the low tires make driving in snow of more than 3" difficult and the car is very hard on tires. The sound system is incredible and the performance is very titillating for those loving speed. Its a tribute to Honda craftsmanship.

Born to be a Classic - 2000 Honda Prelude
By Chris Sullivan - August 12 - 4:36 pmThe Prelude is definitely an underestimated Honda. Very elusive compared to your Civic or Accord. Civic would be the bottom line daily driver, the Accord would be the nice family car, and the Prelude would be the slighty more exotic sports car. I get looks and compliments everywhere I go. I wouldnt trade this car for the world. If youre looking for something sporty, that also makes a great daily driver, then the Honda Prelude is definitely for you. Its fast, its fun, and its beautiful. What else could you ask for?

Great bang for the buck - 2000 Honda Prelude
By Pete - January 26 - 7:49 pmToday (1/26/05) is my fifth anniversary with this car. It has 50,790 miles, and hasnt given me a minutes trouble. 24 mpg minimum, and a lot of the time it gets 26.5 mpg. I think its a very attractive car, perfect for short commutes. My only gripe is that it is not a very comfortable car, its noisy, and the ride is a little rough. I can last 30 minutes at a time before I feel the need to get out and stretch. Ill be trading for something more comfortable and more useful. This is flashy personal transportation that handles well. Enough room for a weeks groceries in the trunk. No room in the back seat for adults, so forget it, just fold the seat down and leave it that way.

By h22vtec - September 7 - 2:00 amI love my car.Ive had it now for about four months,it has been great.When buying this car you recieve:Style,quality and great performance all in one package.I have yet to see a car like this.When i say that i mean a "non" base turbo car.Sure the WRX,Evo are quick,but the turbo made those that way.This car is awesome w/out the turbo.But im am going to purchase a turbo so i can join the leaders.This will send me up about 100- 125 horses....Gotta luv it!

Automatic trans...bad idea - 2000 Honda Prelude
By PJBurr - December 10 - 2:00 amLove the car, but big mistake buying an automatic trans. Bought car in April, trans burned out in June, Im in my late 30s so the car is stock and I drive normal. Honda replaced the trans under warranty, told me it was around $5500. Too bad, should of bought the 5 speed

Outstanding Performer - 2000 Honda Prelude
By fast gramps - December 5 - 2:00 amI have used my Prelude SH as a long distance commuter (250+ miles one way) over mountain passes. It corners incredibly and is incredible on ice and snow. Seats are very comfortable even for a 56 year old frustrated wantabe sports car racer. I get an honest 30 mpg in the summer and it drops to 26 mpg in the winter (oxygenated gas in our area). The only draw back for someone my age is that it is low to the ground and getting hard for me to get into and out of--but that is why it handles sooooo great! I really love the car. If it was a convertible it would be perfect. Honda was crazy to stop making Preludes.

Nothing Better! - 2000 Honda Prelude
By nandini - November 6 - 2:00 amI have always trusted Honda cars, but the Prelude!!! Oh Lord! it is a DREAM. It hugs corners like you wouldnt believe living in the Bay Area I have to cross bridges constantly. Although the Prelude is considered a smaller car the design of the car makes it possible to drive right though the wind on the briges and no more shaking. Even though it is a sports car I actually feel safer because it is heavier and the aerodynamics are prefect for driving in high wind ares. I feel sorry for those who are foolish enough to drive anything else! This is a car I will keep for the ages! THANK YOU HONDA!
