One of the most timeless cars ever made. Simply a masterpiece. Bravo, Honda.

The old Honda’s are one of a kind. They only need oil and gas.

That engine starter sound!!! I love 90s Honda sounds. That car was probably the pinnacle of Honda design and engineering. I’m super jealous you got to drive it!

It’s literally a time capsule with how preserved it is, it’s like walking into a dealer 20 years ago.

Preludes have always been underrated. This is a jewel.

this was my dream car in high school. Always lusted after the Preludes. Such an awesome car (especially with the 5 speed).

This video is truly a treat.

I had a 2000 Prelude Type S manual in the early 2000s. It's still my favorite car of all time. That engine is glorious! Sad Honda needs to give you a 20-year old car to show how great they used to be as a brand.

Love the simplicity of older Honda’s & Acura’s.

The dash meets with the door panels better than most cars today

If Honda brings this Prelude back, I am buying 10 of them in every color.

I remember in 2001 a friend gave me a dealership brochure on the Prelude SH. I literally fell in love with the pictures and styling.

I've never driven Preludes - but 90's and early 00's Honda's are so engaging and fun! Let's go back to this era! You can actually hear VTEC! :)

This was my first car, purchased with cash back in 2004. Mine was red, and is to this day, 8 cars owned later, still one of the best handling cars I’ve ever driven. Best car Honda has ever made, in my opinion.

Oh man. I had this Prelude in same colour. Wish Honda would bring this car back as a luxury sports coupe

Wow NOSTALGIA! Bringing me back to high school!

There’s a little secret and a lot of Hondas people don’t know when the ignition is off and the key is out if you need to know the time press that little flap in and the time will light up!

This was the car so wanted most when I was in high school.

Damn.... I forgot how clean these used to look back then.... because I've been seeing only beaten up Preludes for the past 15 years or so....

Sofyan NOT reviewing a new car, rather an "old" Honda ? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one ! Really nice to see a pristine example of what cars used to be like back then !

Squeaky clean! First one I've ever seen without a fart can on the back!

I loved that model prelude. It was probably my favorite prelude. I had a 1989 prelude aws 2.0. And it was a lot of fun driving.

Thanks for reviewing this! This was my first car and this made me so happy. Redlining my prelude was one of my fav things and I raced the hell out is that car. Brings me back. Thanks!!!!

The door chime is the letter H in morse code.

A gem in a class by itself. Beautiful Prelude, for sure.

Wow, that's super cool that Honda sent you that! Reminds me of my Dad's old 93' Accord

90's cars were soooo much better looking than today's cars.

So glad you did a video like this. Wish more channels tried to get these kinds of cars. It still looks great!

Wow this is a surprise car review

So cool seeing this car in a video. It's been featured in multiple magazines (well, online) as of lately and the pics on there definitely don't do it justice. Thanks for covering it and bringing more light to the chassis! It's so weird seeing a stock one too. 🤣 (I've had mine for 11 years, same color but a base model.)

Wow, amazing! Thank you for bringing this to us!

Still waiting for the day when Sofyan gets his hands on a R34 Skyline 😬.

Man, this brings back some great memories... thanks for this video

These late 90s Japanese cars were the best mix of technology and old school manual stuff this prelude had a sick leather option also 👍

Love this video, I have a '98 prelude base. Feels good to see him give this thing praise it's such a good car.

I haven't watched Sofyan in a while, however I started watching as of yesterday and I'm loving the new format of videos. Also, this is the nicest Prelude I've ever seen. I remember when I was about eight or nine years old and I sat in a Milano Red S2000. I'll never forget that day.

Would be nice if car manufacturers would go back to the basics of building cars. Ditch the technology and get back to the making of fun to drive cars with manual transmissions!

You always do such a great job. All videos. Thanks for your hard work.

Thanks a lot for the teaser video. Can’t wait to see your full review of this time capsule. Please let us hear the VTEC kick in 😀

I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail of a prelude. I just bought a 2001 and I love it.

Bought my 3rd Honda 2 weeks ago, I hardly look at anything else!

My first manual car was a 2001 base prelude and this video made me miss and remember how much I enjoyed driving it.thanks

Sofyan, I am so happy to see you do this video. I own a '99 Prelude (not the SH), same crystal blue metallic color as the one you showed us, same 5-speed, and to this day I LOVE that car! As you say, it doesn't have the bells and whistles of new cars. I have to use a bluetooth adapter to play music/podcasts and use the GPS from my phone, but I love driving it. It's not as good a fit for my life as it was when I bought the car, but I put up with its foibles because it's so good. Last year I bought a headlight reconditioning kit and they once again look crystal clear, no more haze. That made a huge difference. The car is SO low to the ground, it's like driving a skateboard around. Good thing it doesn't rain much here, lol. You're right about the overall design, the wide open visibility, the '90s era dash and controls. I'm jealous of how clean that car is, but I've enjoyed all the miles I've put on mine - it loves the corners. The final-generation Preludes have a passionate following for a reason! And yes, they're all made entirely in Japan. It was my understanding that they were built at the same plant as the first-generation NSX. Thanks once again for doing this video, it's great to hear someone rave about an old 'Lude. Stay well.

I had the previous gen Si ('91 model) with the pop up headlights in the bronze metallic color with a sunroof and lush dark brown fabric that resembled corduroy. It was beautiful and exuded quality. Ahhhh... the good old 90's.

When cup holders were used for cups, not cell phones.

What a treat. Can't believe it only has 2800 miles. I would love to get my hands on this ride. I would have the cleanest reliable beater in the 🌎 lol. Thanks for switching it up for us that can appreciate an ol school classic. 👌🏾

A pristine specimen from Honda’s golden days. I had an Acura Integra from 1995 and it was just mechanical precision.

Had one when I was young. This brings back so much memories.

Love this video.... I owned a 1994 Prelude SI and of the 4 cars I've owned so far it was my favorite. The car was like a go-cart, the handling was superb and was a blast to drive. I so wish they would bring it back, my favorite was the 4th generation.

I saw you today zooming on 95/495 then getting off at route 50 and thought the car looked incredible! I was in the yellow brz. Didn't realize it was you until you posted this video. Keep up the great work!

What a treat! As a former owner of a 1987 Prelude Si, a 1989 Accord LXi, and a 1990 Civic DX, all with a 5-speed manual, I am reliving the fun I had with all those cars, especially the frisky and energetic Prelude! Thank you, Sofyan, for this dazzling blast from the past!

Back n the day , i had a prelude crush- the manual made me blush, ahead of its time, great vlog

thank you for bringing this retro cars episodes are really nice! you are a true car enthusiast!

This is awesome! Had this car for 6 years in my 20s, brings back so much memories.

Omg so good to see one so well preserved! My first brand new car was a 1999 Honda Prelude m/t forest green ❤️

Love it. Brings back a lot of memories of my '97 Integra, as a lot of those interior parts look identical, and overall they just seem to have the same DNA of that amazing generation of Honda/Acura.

Bring back so much memories in 2000/2001. I never had one but one of my friend had 2001 model. I was thinking it was the coolest car I’ve ever seen in my life. Nobody dares to wonder Germany cars back then. Thank you for the video!!

How cool. I remember that body style. One of the best looking Honda products ever. My first new Honda was a 1991 Civic DX hatchback w/ 5sp. Great car too. Thanks for the refreshed memory.

I thought someone's alarm clock was going off with that chime! 😄😄😄

I’ve always loved the Prelude! This car is truly a classic.

So much nostalgia.... All my high school memories come flooding back watching this

I love this. I owned a 1997 Honda prelude SH. Manual. One of my faves.

Great Car! I still own my 2000 Lude I purchased almost 10 years ago. I'm in the process of restoring the cosmetics rn. Mechanically, it is as good as it can be for a stock car. I have 210k miles on the clock and still going strong. I'm more inspired now than ever to clean it up real nice. Thank you for the reminder. 😁

Really makes me miss my old 01 Electron Blue Prelude. Rust was just getting out of control. I felt like I was right there, I can remember everything. Good times, thanks for the vid

love seeing really clean well looked after old cars

I don’t see Honda bringing back the Prelude... maybe as a crossover lol.

I have a 1997 Honda prelude VTiR.Just clocked 47000km.I purchased it off mum and dad years ago when they retired.Love it

Sofyan, I clicked on this video right away! Thanks for your thoughts and insights on this classic. New coupes could learn a lot from classic Hondas. Looking forward to your test drive!👍

A silver 1998 Prelude was my first car. I was in love with it amd this brought back great memories. Thx for this video. ❤

Def highschool nostalgia for me. I rmb my friend had a Prelude and we'd go racing almost everyday after school against Civics, Camaro SS, Thunderbirds, from other kids at our school on the long stretch home. We didn't hang out w/those kids at school but we all had an appreciation for each other while racing. Great times.

Such an elegant machine. I had a ‘92 Integra which was very similar and just like you said, it brings me back to high school.

Gorgeous car. I am blown away. Between the Prelude, the S 2000, and the Integra, Honda really kicked ass back in the day. Thanks for the memories.

Really a retreat watching this , thanks for posting and making video

I would LOVE to see more videos like this. Just great cars from the 90's in great condition. I wold love to own an 1992 Civic just to have it. I currently drive a 2016 Civic and love it.

I never imagined a day when a 1999 Honda Prelude would be old school.... This car brings back so many memories... I had a 1997 Prelude back in high school.. I graduated high school in 2000.... Man the good old days!!

It's just like my 2000 model I had with 19' hp rims and full hp exhaust from the headers back to the exhaust . Full tint all around , intake, cam gears, and finally rods and pistons! It was my favorite car I ever owned!

One of the most beautiful videos of yours

Awesome video! I owned two in my 20's. A Nighthawk Black 98' and Electron Blue 01' . One of the best handling FWD cars in the 90's. My all time favorite Honda and simply a classic!

Man this car brings back memories. My first car was a 1999 Civic Si and my buddy had this exact prelude.

Love these cars, especially in this condition. A testament to build quality and care. I just bought a '99 JDM Toyota Aristo with the 2JZGTE from auction in Japan and it's in similar condition to this

I had one of this SH, same gen but 1997 model year in red; kept for 11 years and put 118k miles on her. Loved each mile of her.

I miss the prelude! Especially the ‘88ish models. What a great retro review thanks!

One of the car mags did a review on this exact car recently , but I look forward to your impressions of this car. I used to own a red 98 Prelude so it brings back warm memories for me.

I had a '98 white diamond pearl Prelude. Loved it. One of the increasing list of cars I have gotten rid of over the years that I wish I would have kept. Just a super fun little car that was also so reliable. For some reason, I thought the sunroof would pop up if you hit the top button from a closed position. Maybe that was another car I owned. Anyway...this review brings back fond memories. Thanks!

I owned a black 1999 SH for a few years in its day. I still miss it. Fantastic car to drive, and beautiful design.

I have a 2017 Lexus RC but lately I've really been wanting an older 90s - early 2000s Japanese car. There's just something so simple and classic about them. Takes me back to my college days.

Wow this is a rare treat. The fact that Honda themselves dropped it off to you is just amazing. Honda along with Toyota were the best 90s car brands.

Sofyan please bring us more reviews of older cars like this!

That chime gives me flashbacks to my sisters old 05 civic that I got to drive when she left for college. I can also remember that signature Honda engine start. While my family is still loyal to Honda, they don’t quite have the charm that they used to.

😍😍😍 This was my first car in highschool. This brings back so much memories. I miss it so much.

Damn man, this vid hit me in the feels. Worked hard for this car for college, bumpimg Color Me Badd, Boys 2 Men, and Bobby Brown, while hanging with my girl rocking Tommy Hill Winter Gear in Summer

Thank you for this! I had a 1997 Prelude with the same color but it was a base model, not the Type SH. THANK YOU!

That thing is beautiful!! I want it so much. I wish they would bring it back.

This is the only video that he didn’t say the glove box is dumped,I really appreciate you doing and sharing this video. 😜😜😜😍

I love how this car’s design echoes some of the design cues of my old ‘87 Prelude - such a great looking car & timeless design.

I had a very similar one. Great video, brought back the memories!

My Aunt had one of those! It was a spectacular driver. They were not truly fast however even for that time frame. They were comfortable, looked good and handled great.. The shifter was a gem.

I had this exact model and color. I remember being so in love with this car. Good times!

I love this video. Thank you for doing this

I have a 2000 Base Prelude that I’m currently bringing back to life. Seeing this makes me cry for my prelude... and my wallet 😭
