Icon2 daily driver opinion?

Hi all, I am new to honda tech and am looking to get into the honda game. That being said I am looking at getting a bone-stock car to start out with as my daily, I have narrowed it down to an integra 4 door (dc2) or a prelude (bb6). Hopefully you guys can weigh in on the pros and cons of the 2 and which one you think would be the better car to learn the ropes on, or even if there is a better car to start with besides these 2. Thanks again. Ps. if this is posted in the wrong place could you please redirect me. Feedback greatly appreciated.

I think the prelludes more "classy" looking then the teg but the teg has nice lines, I was thinking of the prelude because I would like to turn it into a bippu style car once I had another car to race.

I would say 4 door integra. I have always had a soft spot for them. Plus 4 doors is so much easier for hauling people around. Plus parts for them are a dime a dozen..

Preludes are nicer cars overall. Just no aftermarket support for them as compared to a Civic or an Integra.

2 door unless you keep a lot of people in your ride. 4 door Integras look just wrong.

I know what you mean but I've seen some nice ones, it all depends on how you do it up.

I would definitely suggest is the Integra, but is there a reason you want a four door opposed to a two door?

I say four door Integra. Also have a soft spot for them. (3rd Gen(?) only available here in Canada from 94-97 so not too common, either, so that's probably partly why for me.)

Preludes are badass for daily driving. Especially since that's what they were made for. In it's stock form it outperformed most of anything Honda had to offer back then.

Most reliable, least maintenance, most customizable.
