Top 15 Affordable Sports Cars of the 80s
Honda Prelude
While the American manufacturers were offering sports cars with big V8 engines, the Honda Prelude was all about sophistication, refinement and finesse. The third-generation car, sold from 1988 to 1991, was particularly appealing with its sexy bodywork, which included a very low hoodline and pop-up headlights. It even offered a four-wheel steering system as an option. Its 16-valve, 2.0-litre four produced 135 horsepower in the Prelude Si, although a 145-hp version appeared in some 1990 and 1991 models. This Prelude was no drag strip champ, but one of the best handling, affordable sports cars of its time.
