2001 Honda Prelude

Pros: Powerful engine, quiet ride, good sound system, dependable

Cons: Backseat is not functionally useful

The Bottom Line: Honda will never let their customers down on quality. The ride you feel today will likely be the ride you feel when you turn 130,000 miles on the engine.

Review: After examining my finances some months ago, I decided that I could afford a new, rather than another used, car. I thus embarked upon a research frenzy in order to determine the perfect car for me, and one that would last for years to come.
...

Pros: Refined, great handling, fun to drive, and reliable thus far.

Cons: Expensive. Lack of extras.

The Bottom Line: If you're looking a car with great acceleration or to carry cargo/passengers, look elsewhere. The Prelude is a well-rounded sports car for the $25K and under crowd.

Review: Unlike other reviewers, I will not spell out all of the Prelude's features--you can find that information out on your own. What I will tell you is how my experience has been owning this car for the past couple of years.

HANDLING AND COMFORT:...

Pros: Body style, engine design, Vtech acceleration, sportshift, ride, handling, sound system, overall craftsmanship.

Cons: Backseats, no leather option, That's IT!

The Bottom Line: Here is the bottom Line... If you are even thinking of another car, your crazy. Buy a Honda Prelude, you will be happy.

Review: The forward styling of the Honda design team is portrayed exceptionally with the creation of the 97- ...

Pros: 195+ hp on a 2.2l engine! Amazing handling and good looks!

Cons: Expensive puppy & way too plain interior.

The Bottom Line: Go for it! You won't regret it.

Review: I have always loved the Prelude since they introduced it in '89. I bought my first Prelude in June 2001. Its a black base '01 Prelude. I actually got it at a discount price as the dealer was getting rid of spakin' new Preludes to buy more Civic Si's!!...

Pros: Fast, excellent handling, looks sharp

Cons: interior styling is lacking

The Bottom Line: Excellent car, no other words to describe it.

Review: When I finally graduated from college and decided it was time to up-grade my ride I looked no further then the Honda Prelude. Up until this time I’d always been a car enthusiast but never had the money to buy a fast car, so as soon as I had my chance I ...

Pros: The Prelude is a reliable sports car, with good horsepower and excellent handling.

Cons: Interior is to simple no added extras. Acceleration is slow for a sports car.

The Bottom Line: Sports car that not only looks stylish but is reliable at a great price.

Review: I actually owned a 1990 Honda prelude and decided it was time for a new car; after all it had been 11 years since I bought a new one. I didn’t go looking for the Prelude in fact I wanted something different and originally stayed away from the Prelude...

Pros: FANTASTIC engine, race car handling, heavenly clutch and shifter, handsome looks, Honda quality

Cons: A little features-challenged for the price

The Bottom Line: Comfortable, high quality, practical and handsome -- yet the devil lurks deep beneath the hood :-)

Review: I am a complete "car guy." Have been practically ever since I could walk. I'm addicted to things like car magazines, auto shows, and going to dealer's lots on Sunday afternoons. I frequently find myself sounding like a salesman when talking about...

Pros: VTEC is standard; smooth shifter

Cons: No leather option; would like audible notice that doors are locked

Review: I have always driven smaller cars, and have always liked the Prelude. I drove a friend's 1988 Prelude and instantly fell in love. When the body redesign happened in '92, I thought the look was unique, but it took away from the wide, low features that ...

Pros: Beautiful styling, Amazing quality, Great warranty options, Did I mention the styling.......

Cons: High price

Review: I bought my red 2001 Prelude after several years of wanting one. I originally brought home a manual 1998 Type SH with several thousand dollars worth of aftermarket parts on it. But after much thought I returned to the dealership the following day and ...

Pros: Design, power, speed, handling.

Cons: Auto transmission problems, rough and jerky in stop and go traffic, rear leg room.

The Bottom Line: The Prelude can still hang with most newer sports coupes in terms of looks and performance, and can be had at a good price.

Review: I bought my used black Honda Prelude (Automatic) in February of 2006, and have been very satisfied with the vehicle despite a few flaws. The car I had before I bought the Prelude was a 2001 Ford Focus SE sedan. A decent and very underrated car it was, ...
