The 1989 Honda Prelude is part of the model's third generation and continues to be a standout option in the sport compact car market. It's available with a 2.0-liter SOHC or 2.0-liter DOHC engine, which churns out 104 horsepower and 135 horsepower, respectively. It's paired with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The Prelude boasts a sophisticated double-wishbone suspension system providing excellent handling abilities. For 1989, it came in three trim levels: S, Si, and Si 4WS. The latter delivers Honda's innovative four-wheel steering—a first for the mass market—for improved maneuverability. Despite its compact size, the 1989 Prelude is well-appointed, with comforts like power windows and a stereo system. However, it lacks modern infotainment and advanced safety features found in more recent models.
