hey im in the middle of looking for a new car...im mainly looking into 02 si or a 01 prelude..im also looking at a lexus sc300 to do a swap but thats something else....what car would be better as far as potential in the long run? also which car is more flexible with my goals?

 

Prelude of course!

Double wishbone > Single wishbone

 

prelude

 

depends on what you want the car for. the newer si might be a better more reliable dd, but the prelude will take mods better and is quicker. although, i still say si because i love mine and hatch's own

 

I have an '01 lude base and i love it, go with the prelude

 

what are your goals? i say ep cus i smoked my brothers prelude with my ep

 

Any Honda is reliable. Prelude is an awsome car, great handling and h22.

 

This really ends up being a personal decision. I have an ep3 for my DD and am very happy with it. I like the hatch because I work out of my car a lot and I can get a TON of stuff in the back, on any day I will have my laptop, briefcase, a couples boxes of client documents, gym bag, lunch, you get the idea.

I guess I am just a hatch junkie. The other thing to consider is what direction are you going with the car. I have heard that 'Ludes never got a lot of aftermarket support compared to Civics, dont know if this is true or not cause I have never owned a 'Lude.

 

ep3 is much nicer car IMHO its newer engineering and design..lude was designed in 1996..
even k20a3>h22 for me

 

hey you guys thanks yea ive been looking into ludes or ep3 i like the style of ep3 an love hatchs...i think it might be cheaper on insurance too? can i get an idea on what you guys pay for ludes an ep3's?....im a 16yr old an think lude might be a little much on the insurance.

 

My friend just got a 99 prelude for his first car and first insurance note. Let's put it this way: It's killing his cash. I say its up to you, but the EP will be a little easier on the wallet at least when it comes to insurance, not to mention the whole K-series parts that are now beginning to become available. Pick whichever you want, I'm a little bias

 

haha yea man i love ep3's only down side is i wont get the model thats 5lug so no rsx-s rims for me haha..but yea i test drove one today an love it an insurance is much less for me....plus there doesnt seem to be that many ep's around here
