Common Problems with the
1994 Honda Prelude e:HEV

Buying Tips for 1994 Honda Prelude e:HEV

• Test the rear seat before ordering: entry needs flexibility and the pews only suit small children on short trips, so this is a two-plus-two car in practice.
• Accept the performance envelope. 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds and a 117mph limiter mean the chassis is quicker than the powertrain; if you want pace, look at a Civic Type R while they are still about.
• Ask exactly how the S+ Shift makes the car feel on your routes. Some drivers love the simulated shifts and rev-matching; others would rather the hybrid ran quietly, so try it with the system off.
• Check the practical detail: the hatchback-style boot takes two weekend bags and 663 litres with the seats folded, but rear visibility over the shoulder is poor, so make sure the camera and sensors all work.
• With production limited to roughly 500 cars a year for Europe, confirm the dealer record, options list and any allocation paperwork, and protect resale by keeping every service in the Honda system.
