I had a 1995 Prelude that I kept for about four years. I bought it used from the dealer with about 14k miles on it. When I sold it, it had 125k miles on it. It ran beautifully from day 1 other than a small problem with the clutch -- it was a 5 speed -- that cost very little to repair. During the time I had it, all I did for it was get regularly scheduled maintenance, tires and change the oil regularly. I would definitely highly recommend this car. Always dependable, no rattles, no drama and great gas mileage. I have had a Lexus, BMW, Volvo, etc., and the Prelude could easily stack up well against any of them. Good luck!
