Default Insight on the Prelude...

I drive an 00 accord v 6 coupe, and frankly its ok. I mean its a great car to drive in but its not fun and its slow as dirt. I want the reliability of a Honda but not the price range of the 2000... I always loved the body lines of the 96-00 Prelude and thought I might ask the owners themselves what they think of the car and how fast and fun to drive it is. Thanks.

I have 2 4th gen preludes a 92 SI 4ws and a 92 S. I love my ludes. They are a blast to drive. Definatelly not the FASTEST cars on earth, but fast enough to be fun to drive. I bought my first one 3 yrs ago and will probably never sell it.

For Sure, mine sat last winter (of course) and in the spring I was thinking of selling, so I pulled it out and did my maintenance, took it for a spin and changed my mind.

Prelude were the last untainted Honda... untill those **** pirates at the NOPI show gave them a reach-around.

None-the-less, I love my 4g even more now becuase I will be one more person not cheepin' one up.

did you guys ever see that show on i think it was mtv where they had different garages compete over who coudl take the same car and make the best out of it? i forget the hosts name but he has an article in modified magazine every month and he was in fast and the furious.. they did one episode w/ 4th gens.. one of the garages completely riced out theirs and it sucked.. moral of this story... watch less tv, drive more

i drive a 5th gen vtec and its a great car, not bmw m3 fast but if your in the twisties i think you would suprise Mr. M3 driver! 5th gen or 4th preludes are great cars and despite what other ppl say you can make them fast, very fast if you really need to

Asking users on a Prelude board if they like Preludes is kind of, um.......yeah. Of course we like them!

How about we answer the reverse question. What don't you like about (your) Preludes?
