1996 Honda Prelude Reviews, Pricing & Specs

















































































































































What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1996 Honda Prelude appreciate its fun driving experience and strong performance, especially when the VTEC system engages. Many drivers love its sporty handling and low profile design, but some wish for more power and space, particularly in the rear seats. Maintenance costs can be a concern, and while it excels on the highway, it can struggle with low-speed driving and idling."
This is a wonderful car, but im getting outta hand on the maintence. A bit low on the power side for what i want, but it handles like a beast. This car does not have the stock engine. It is swapped out with the vtec version engine. A bit more power(when vtec kicks in) but not that much. I would like to fix this car up, but money is an issue at the moment.
January 8, 2010Its my first car and i love it. It is a quality car that has not broken down on me yet, and it probably wont any time soon. It is a four cylinder manual with twin overhead cams and just short of a vtech motor. :) Awsome to drive.
July 30, 2009loved this car. acceleration was amazing then when vtech cam kicked in spead up even more. sometimes it would wheelspin when vtech kicked in in lower gears. not much room for people in the back though. but a brilliant drive

June 27, 2008hondas have amazing motors it was fun for a time but I needed a different powertrain setup, front wheel drive is not very fun
December 30, 2007Fun to drive if you have unlimited amounts of money to fill it! Great wheels - low profiles..........It really is the poor mans sports car.......... The performance is excellent when going over 60mph and it comes into its own. Poodling about Town however is painful and it does not like idling and pulls away very quickly - or maybe thats just me!
