so i need a car i previsously had a 1992 prelude.
it would be my dd. and the only person i really drive around is my gf

so what is better a h prelude or a s2000
wich is a better dd?

 

S2000's are horrible... Get a prelude and go to the prelude forum. I know it says I own a 2005 s2000 and that I'm the happiest person in the world, and love every second of driving my S, and how owning an S is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Trust me go with the prelude! And leave before you get bashed with the 'search' post immediately!!!! Run! Run! Run!

 

lol... prelude vs. S2000... bwahahaha

 

prelude FTW wooooooooooooooooooooot

 

I've owned multiple of both and let me tell you, the prelude wins in every contest of speed and daily drivability.

 

If you have to ask, then an S2000 is not for you

 

dont buy a S2000. I wounder what would be better for a daily a car with four seats and bigger trunk or a rear wheel drive roadster

 

prelude 4 sho

 

guys, its basically an apples to apples comparison...

 

s2000

 

I have an H22 prelude and just purchaced an AP1 2 days ago. The AP1 is better in every performance catagory. Just the driving feel of the AP1 alone is amazing.

Lets be honest here, the S2000 is a 2 seater and the Prelude has 4 seats. But anyone that has owned a 4th gen Prelude will tell you that the rear seats are their for insurance purposes only. VERY rarely I'd have someone in the back seat and they complained the whole time. Oh yeah, the trunk is smaller on the S2K.

Also you have to factor in the Prelude curse. They ALWAYS have something wrong with them. I speak from experiece.

 

look at them side by side, then decide.

 

wow what should I get 1,000,000 dollars or go for the 1,000, can someone help me please? lol

 

the s2000 or the mystery box...

 

You too? Here I was thinking I had the only cursed lude in the world. My first car was a 92 lude, after a month of owning it clutch went out. Fair enough it had around 110 on it. 2 months later i blew a headgasket. A year later my f22b went out on me, a month later another engine went out.

I gave the car to someone (yes gave) he put in a new motor. 2 weeks later that h23 blew and it took the tranny with it.

The only mod that car really needed was a ****ing exorcism

 

^ wow i never knew prelude had so much problems! I was telling my friend to get a prelude just cuz he has a $5000 limit... guess i should tell him to back off...

 

Could just be bad luck. Could be that it was my first car, and I made some mistakes don't get me wrong I loved every second of it when it was working. It'd be unfair to say not to buy the car cause some people have problems. People are still buying prius' aren't they?

 

my ludes just made me a lot of money and never had any problems.. lucky me

 

My 2001 Lude was fine... Had to replace a coil pack... That's about it... Even though I only had the car for 38,000 miles... Great car...

 

The prelude was the Honda FWD s2000 of the 90's imo. Years ahead of it's time in styling, and efficient engine output.

I can't think of a car in it's time that was sexier. It was aggressive looking, but bubbly. It wasn't square like other cars. Of course cars like the rx7 and supra were gorgeous, but those aren't even close in terms of being in the same class

 

The Prelude can hold it's own even though it's FWD. Oversteer can be produced very easily with the ATTS in the SH model. I have never had major problems with my car either and I drive the crap out of it. Regular maintenance and that's it. I think it's a great DD and a fun autox car


Mind you if someone would trade me their S2000 for my Prelude I would not think twice about it

 

there's nothing wrong with a lude, dude. it's just not an S..

 

prelude ftw.

 

prelude for the daily and s2000 for the fun

 

In terms of pure performance, there is no comparison. The S2000 wins by a mile. Before you get a Prelude you should get a Civic or an Integra instead. The Prelude holds less stuff in it and at the same time weighs more than a Civic or an Integra does. That isn't the best trade off in terms of performance or practicality.
