A sporty compact, two-door, four-passenger car, the 1998 Honda Prelude provides fun behind the steering wheel but it is also an efficient vehicle. The Prelude is powered by a 2.2L four-cylinder engine which produces 195 hp and 156 lb-ft of torque. This engine can be paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic is optional. The Prelude will return nearly 30 mpg on the highway.
