I sat down last night and did some serious thinking. The car that originally got me into the Honda scene was my 96 Prelude Si, I loved that car right up until the day I totaled it. I loved it so much that I eventually bought a 02 S2000 to replace it (closest thing to EL gauges =p)

As much as I love my S2k and all the compliments I get, double takes, and just general respect from the "upper echelon" of cars (G35,M3,350z,etc) I cant stop thinking about my prelude.

So my question, what would you do in my situation? Would you stay with your Prelude or go with the S? I put this in the Prelude Forum and not GD because I feel that people who are Prelude enthusiasts might have a better idea of where Im comming from.

Well, what would you do?

 

Buy an OBD1 h22a1 Prelude and keep your s2000 as well. If money is an issue, Sell the s2000 and buy the Prelude. What did you think I was going to say? ... this is the Prelude forum. Good luck.

 

i agree..if you can afford both cars I would have both. In fact, I plan on buying an s2000 when i finish up college and hold on to my prelude. Are you looking to get into racing or just have nice street cars? Also, as a daily driver how does the s2000 compare to a 4th gen (comfort, ride quality, driveability in traffic etc.)?

 

i wanted a s2k but when i drove one around the handling is great compared to my 5th gen lude but the road noise drove me crazy... interior to me is a higher end del sol interior. i thought my prelude had no space with a s2k everything has to go into the trunk.. to me if the price is right make it happen. my friends also all have 3 or 5 series, g35s and m3s.. there cars are so nice they always jump into my prelude to hit up the clubs or whatever

 

I'd say try and find another 4th Gen OBD I Prelude and keep the S if you can afford it. I'm also looking into buying an AP1 S2000 after I graduate from college. Good luck with whatever you do decide though.

 

Like everyone has said, get an obd1 prelude if you get one, dealing with obd2 and wanting to modify your car sucks.

I wanted to buy an s2k for a while, then I got an insurance quote

 

Going from the Preludes interior to the S2ks isnt that far of a stretch space wise. Bumper to Bumper traffic kind of sucks as most of my power comes after 5k but I have no complaints.
