Default 95 prelude vs 99 civic

I currently have a 99 civic ex and I am looking at a 95 prelude S.
What do you guys think between the cars...

and anyone know if they are the same tire size?

thanks for any help!

Both are good cars. Obviously, I prefer the Prelude. It's not as common and a classic if you ask me.

The Prelude S should have 4 lug 14" wheels. 185/70/14 tires.

Yes, 114.3x4 lug pattern.

of course i would prefer the prelude because i am biased and you dont see a prelude all the time like you do a civic. But there are more aftermarket parts availible for the civic and MANY engine swap possibilites. Beyond that, pretty much the whole suspension is upgradable on the civic without having to order specialty parts.

hard decision if you ask me. Depends on what you are wanting to do.

I would personally stick with the Civic, maybe do a swap. A Prelude S is nothing special. If you could get a Vtec model, then I'd say go for it.

depends how much the prelude s is going to cost you. if the s is really cheap, i'd buy it and swap and h22.
