I recently sold my flawless '94 Si w/40k original miles (regrettably) because i wasn't able to afford it at the time. I absolutely loved everything about the car except for the pretty much non-functional back seats and am considering another. (probably a 5G.) My question is: Are the 5th gens any roomier back there? I remember it being next to impossible to carry more that two people in my 4th gen.

Thanks guys!

 

Its the same.. Jump seats.. No room for anyone.. Only little kids can fit back there.

 

Never had a 4th gen but I was able to ride in the backseat of my 5th gen ok and I am 5'10. Wouldnt recommend any long road trips but for 15 min sessions to the mall, store, etc. its not that bad.

 

Huh.

Looks like I might be looking at a GTI instead.

I Miss my 4th Gen.

 

well go have a look at the car at least...

i've been in and out of both (well for about 10 seconds) but the 5G seems roomier...

keep in mind you might have more front leg room, so you might not need to put the front seats as far back. i know the 4G's have a really tight interior...

 

They are not that bad, I am 5'11'' and they feel nice and snug . I would rather be sitting behind the wheel or in shotgun though .

 

They added leg room after they realised itonly accomodated the average Jap, afterall the car was designed in Japan.

HEY!!! just realised, those concept drawings of the Prelude.... they were left hand drive!, but the lude was deisgned in and built first in Japan. Hmmmn So where did the concept pics come from???

 

5th gens do have a larger interior, but not by much. I'd check it out in person before deciding.

That would be Japanese. The word Jap, is very offensive

hmm...no...actually they have the rear seats in there due to insurance...if it was a 2 seater the 5th gen or 4th gen prelude's insurance would be a lot higher than if it wasn't considered a 2 seater. if being "japanese " was the case...why arent all honda's designed not to have a lot of room in the back?

 

yeah i call them insurance seats too

 

Whenever I had my car, people had to lay across the back in order to fit.

Japanese. No offence untented

 

Hmmm, sounds right insurance, they allways wanna rip everybody off in any way possible (well UK has stupid prices)

 

in my 5th gen everyone complains about the back seat being to small.... I say get your own car. Plenty of room for me in the front....

 

its the leg room in the back thats sux. I can barely get my foot in the back floorboard sideways in my fifth and the fourth is a lil all around smaller on the inside but as said not much.

 

Yeah my friend nearly had his feet broken when he was sitting in the back and the front passenger seat was slightly adjusted (slid back going up a hill!)

 

yeah the rear seats are basically pointless in my bb6, im a tall guy so i basically have my driver seat back all the way.. so nobody can sit behind me, and i have a rear harness bar also so its hard for people to get back there. i just took my seats out and took out the sound deadening material to make it look cleaner

 

for real! You don't like the back seat--drive your damn self.
