Pros: Styling, Speed, Sophistication, Suspension, Handling, need I say more?
Cons: None
The Bottom Line: The bottomline is, this car is awesome - look at all the Pros listed above, if you want a car with any or all of these features, go Honda Prelude.
I was always a fan of Preludes - especially the 97-01 body style - so I bought one for myself. It is the Standard VTEC model with the Sequential Sportshift automatic. Honda pulled all the stops when they engineered and made this car- the handling is ... read more

Pros: Great Looking Performance Car!
Cons: This car seats 4? If you can fit people into the rear seats.
The Bottom Line: If your looking for a reliable sports car at under $30K....then this is your puppy. Trust Me on this one!
This new generation Honda Prelude is fun to drive. The handling can be attributed to the stock 16" alloy wheels, low profile tires, racing aspired double wishbone suspension, and a new rigid car frame. The cars amenities include: motorized sunroof, air, ... read more

Pros: Handles great, and pretty much everything else about this car.
Cons: Very cramped in the back of the car, seat design is a little tacky.
I guess now that I look back, I consider myself a very lucky (maybe spoiled) girl. My parents decided to buy me a 1999 Prelude as my first car two years ago. They knew that I wouldn't settle for anything less than a middle class car that was fun and ... read more
