Default 92-96 prelude pros and cons

as every car, im sure there are a few things you dislike about your prelude but also some you love. just tryin to see how everybody feels about this car?good power,handling,etc...

the shifter is awsome and im almost posotive its hydrolic

but replace the shift *** with a skunk 2 and a type R boot

Mine is a second car but I wish it was lighter.Almost 3000lbs. That is the ONLY thing I would change.

I like that it is smaller inside. I don't like driving people around. It's a 2 seater in my opinion....and I like that.

I really don't have any major complaints from the car, aside from no cup holder.

It's fairly powerful, fun to drive, good-handling, stops fast, looks great inside and out. What more can ya ask for?

I don't know about on your 95, but on the 92's they only have this square little thing in the center console that will hold a can of coke, but it seems to be specially designed to throw it directly at your stereo if you stop too fast, accelerate too quickly, turn too hard, or just look at it the wrong way.

I don't think it's really a cup holder....

Great car! But the dash on the drivers side rattles a little bit and it is imposible to find.

Also for some reason nobody can figure out why my passenger window will go down but not up with the drivers switch, but works fine with the passenger switch.

NO its not the drivers switch I gone through 3 of them and they all do the same!

Actually I use the so called cup holder as my change carrier, good for when I hit the tolls.

Love the prelude for the handling double wishbone suspension and long wheelbase. Hate the leg room and back seats though. For an old skool car it still rocks.

i went and looked at it today...the paint could use some detailing but besides that the car was very well taken care of. then i looked at the passenger side and it had honda rust ...not horribly but enough to scare me away

some people would say the back seats having no leg room... one downside to a 4th gen prelude... but to me... i like it cuz i don't like driving people in my car.....

hell yeah they are, ive been looking for one since the summer, and i just got one a few weeks ago.
mine has no cup holder
pros
good handling
best car for h22 swap (since it was designed for it)
good looking
cons
a little on the heavy side
back seats arent for people
hope this helps, you should find one and get it
