Hi, I’m looking for a new car and would really like to get a Prelude. My question involves the automatic transmission. I’ve been looking for a while, and the sad fact is that nearly all the Preludes I’ve found at a reasonable distance that have a happy correlation between price, year, and mileage are all automatic. I was looking for 5 speed, because it’s pretty much elementary that manuals are quicker, however, is the automatic version of the Prelude still a fun to drive, quick car? I wouldn’t be racing it or timing it or anything like that. I know I need to go and drive one myself, but I was curious about what you owners might think. Thanks.

what year is it you are looking for? by generations? if so here is a write up about the 5th gen automatic one:

manual is the only way to go.

 

I'm looking at 5th Generation, mostly 2000-01.
