Today on the channel I am driving an often overlooked great from Honda's back catalogue - the Prelude. This third generation car is notable for being one of the first on sale in the world with an all-wheel steering system.
Today, these are a relatively affordable classic - but are they worth buying?

When this car debuted in the States, the Road & Track road test included a quote from the Honda engineers who were very proud of the fact that their hood ('bonnet', if you must) was lower than the contemporaneous mid-engined Ferrari Mondial...and the Prelude's had an engine under it.

@johnscarsandstuff Год назад

I once parked my Prelude next to a mid-engined MGF and noticed that the bonnet on my car was lower.

@retardray5701 Год назад

This really was the peak of that low bonnet obsession, tilting the engine just to get it a little lower and all - well, of course it improves handling too. But it makes for a great shape with the design theme they had, although it's always a little weird how the long nose just disappears when looked from rear 3/4 angle.

@slamcrank Год назад

You weren't missing out on anything with not having the 4WS - my brother had a standard (like yours) and I had a few 4WS models.... the standard model had exceptional handling, much like the 2nd generation Prelude. The 4WS, on the other hand, had abysmal handling. Far too much weight went into the system and totally messed up the balance of the car and was very noticeable in corners. If you were going under 25mph, it was fine, and kind of fun in a "watch this neat trick" kind of way... but tearing through mountain/country roads? It was absolutely terrible. Also, there was virtually no "feel" in the steering and no matter how long you drove it, the mechanics of the 4WS never really translated to cornering because as you passed a certain point in the turning radius, the 4WS kicked in and it became very unpredictable - the steering motion wasn't linear, like a normal car, it was linear up to a certain point, and then it went exponential! Add the weight to the equation, and well.... you had a much better driving car in your non-4WS Prelude. :)

I had a 1991 SI 4WS with a B21A. The B21A was a 2.1L with some kind of experimental composite cylinder lining. Supposedly, Honda used the platform to test new features. The B21A would eventually burn oil and there was little to be done other than a rebuild. I bought mine for $1000 and sold it for $1000 when it was starting to slip, it was then turned into a race car. Great car, one of the best I have ever driven and I have driven some of the best.

I’m so glad you did it and I hope it brings the status of the car up because it is truly truly underappreciated. I have both fifth GEN and a third GEN four wheel steer and I love them to pieces and I’m sad that nothing today compares to the brilliance of this car overall. I really really really hope Honda someday can find the gumption to make a new current model one that mimics and echos all of the great points about this car.

@garydc1057 Год назад

I had this exact model, way back in the day, and absolutely loved it! I can't remember the name of the colour of mine, but it was a very dark blue metallic that pretty much looked black. I had Honda lower mine and I fitted 5-spoke 18 inch wheels - and it looked fabulous! The interior was exactly as the one James drives here, except mine had the original steering wheel. I loved the four-wheel steering but more than that, I loved the car as a whole. I traded it in for a BMW 325i and almost instantly regretted it. And I wouldn't rule out buying another Prelude again, just for the nostalgia! Great video, James, and thanks for the memories!

@Zsword92 Год назад

My first car was a 1996 Vti-R/Si-R H22 VTEC. While it was a fun first car, with only 105k km it overheated constantly and burned tonnes of oil, blowing loads of blue smoke out the tail pipes under load. Sufficed to say I needed to keep bottles of both coolant and oil in the boot for emergencies. Aside from these issues the sunroof leaked and the 4WS didn't work. Even Honda couldn't work out why it was overheating and losing all its coolant every other day. Bought for $7500, put about $4000 into repairs and sold for $6000 a year or so later. Wonderful first experience of car ownership 👍

@JamesCairney Год назад

Sounds like a warped cylinder head, I had a peugeot 205 that did similar things, two head gaskets and a cylinder head later and it still overheated, it was French after all. I don't know what excuse your honda had, it ain't French even though it sounds like it thought it was.

@manjedfredson Год назад

I had this car (manual) as a company car in 1988/89 (Sydney, Australia when I was 26yrs) and was a complete joy to drive even myself being 6ft 6inch! The 4WS steer system was something to get used to but such a great feature put to good use continually. It made overtaking at top speed effortless and tight turns was never a challenge. I miss that car but certainly its looks have not stood the test of time. Frankly I pretended my white prelude back in the day was the Miami Vice Testarossa !!! Now I have a BMW 2010 E64 650I.

An engineering magazine labelled this as an engineers car because of 4 brilliant aspects. 1/ high strength steel for the a/b/c pillars for unparalleled visibility second to none . 2/ low front end labelled - the engineless design by Honda. 3/ a butterfly valve in the intake that opened up for more airflow above 3500rpm. 4/ first and only mechanical 4ws system in any production car. In 1987, Road & Track published a test summary that shows the 1988 Honda Prelude 2.0Si 4WS outperforming every car of that year on the slalom, with a speed of 65.5 mph (105.4 km/h), even besting exotics such as Porsche and Ferrari. For reference, the 1988 Chevrolet Corvette C4 took the same course at 64.9 mph (104.4 km/h). (From Wikipedia)

Most of the time the HICAS gets binned because when (not IF!) it breaks they're a very expensive and quite difficult pain in the arsehole to fix. So its just easier and far cheaper to pop in some lockouts and call it a days work. I had a chance to drive the AWS Prelude in about 1989 when it was owned by a family friend and you've got to appreciate that things like independent rear suspension and decent handling was a novelty for most of us. So when you get cut loose as a then teenage driver coming from lumpy v8's, big 6's and jello handling it was absolutely mind blowing on our winding country roads. Maybe not the fastest, but the pace you can get in the twisties and hairpins is a word I don't use often- blistering.

I had a black one for most of the 1990s, but without the 4-wheel steer option. As you said, the road feel was great, it was comfortable and roomy, and the OE Alpine stereo was a cut above for its time. The seats you praised were actually manufactured by Recaro's Japanese division, and were just a bit firm for long distance travel. I road-tripped across the US many times in it, but when it was time for a fuel stop, I was always happy to get out for a little bit. When it had racked-up well over 200k miles, and its value bottomed as the expensive stuff started failing, I replaced it with a non-turbo 300ZX. For about a year, I owned both; but when I drove the Prelude, I noticed that my driving style was instinctively more aggressive-the car was just more playful and urged you on more than the Z.

These were something I lusted after when they came out. I was halfway through my Industrial Design degree at the time and my contemporaries all considered them to be a designer’s car - very well thought out. BTW it’s preh-lude.

I remember seeing a lot of these on the roads in america back in the late 80s and 90s when I was a kid.

I had an ‘85 and then an ‘88 (Si with theft proof wheel covers, look them up) I like many did not want 4WS…as a note; I believe 4WS was an option and you could not have ABS with it…one or the other LOL. Also, no Prelude EVER sold without a power sunroof! A car designer once told me that no car had as much visibility than this gen Lude and that BMW bought a couple to study the suspension set up. Car & Driver did a test of the ‘85 (2nd-Gen) and place it second to the 944 as best handling car…bested a Ferrari, 911 and a Vette…don’t remember all of it.
