Before my lude, I had a Toyota 4runner, and an Eagle Talon. The 4runner's enging blew up, and the Talon had the wrost reliability EVER. I didn't own either of those cars for more than a year, either. My 93 prelude SI, on the other hand, I have had for the better part of 2 years, and have never had a major problem with it. I have had to replace the ignition switch, but that was it. Very reliable car better looking than any civic or teg, too.
