It's a five speed. It has great Handling like every year has. I It's got a relativly decent engine it for 108K. It hit 110 stock which impressed me.

1st great winds out to quickly. It could use some more head room for the back seat.

I think it's a good car with some mods it be a quick one to. If your looking for a fairly inexspencive car I suggest getting one.

When you want this car to move it does so and then some. Very easy to drive. Handles like a dream. Chicks dig it and you can do alot to add on to it. Don't forget close to 30 MPG on highway.

Dam the back seats they should of just made the trunk bigger. I found the radio iit came with wasn't very good with high bass and i would of liked to see the sunroof go all the way back.

I got mine used this april for only $8700 with 58k on it. it needs a paint job and i had to learn stick but i really like it. You can treat it like a toy it needs love and care but otherwise i strongly recomend it to people

Mustang GT Not as good, Toyota Camry V6 not as fast or smooth

handles well at high speed, acceleration, handles all surface roads, easy to reach controls, attracts the girls (seriously it does)great reliablility (I've never had to do anything under the hood in over a year, it used 1 quart of oil in all that time. it even has a trunk like a regular car lets you keep your sound system out of site for unwanted attention. the car is made for a sound system the trunk makes a perfect box for subs and 6X9 in the back window area. A real drivers car

less problems than any sports car would do. we aren't driving a luxuary car here I mean people get off the small seats gig. its only true disadvantage is its front wheel drive its not good for stunts well backwards can be fun but I'd rather have the rear wheel drive

I love my car it handles the backroads so well. handles speeds 125+ on poor roads and it handles well. don't be fooled by s models they don't bring the same ride. if I replace it I'll go for a generation 3 maybe try the all wheel steering. I only wish it was rear wheel drive that would make it hands down the best car in its class (if its not already) I recomend strong buy on all preludes with 2.0 engines or better 1.8's don't cut it. unless your looking for a family or luxury car or an old school 300+ hp. hotrod its a great car. I recomend it for anyone who loves driving!

Looks, handling, power. A blast to drive. Nice amenities for a sports car. Stable at speed. Honda reliability. Wife thinks it's sexy. I think the 92-96 Preludes are among the best-looking cars in recent years.

At 5'10", headroom is tight.

I bought this 1993 Si from my father in 2000. Excellent condition, 60k miles. It drives like a dream. I drove a CRX for many years, and that is one great handling car, but the Prelude is even better. It feels stable at high speed - 115 mph on a country road it felt smooth and safe. Accelleration is excellent for a 4-clyinder.

It's not very good on gas, maybe because I'm used to getting 40 mpg with the CRX and maybe because I love to hear that 5000+ rpm exhaust note. I'm still getting 18-22.

I've only had the car a month or two, but I like it very much. I like Hondas a lot, and this is one of the best. A classic beauty. Much smoother look than the current Preludes, and a more exotic interior. For a 7-year-old car, this thing gets plenty of looks and compliments.

Handling, Refinement, Engine note - its sweet, most suited for mods, fun to drive.

Price...but I think its worth it

Its a Honda, what more can I expect. I just love this car. I screams to 7500rpm in no second. If you're looking for a spongy ride and don't bother about your engine note, this might not be the right car for you.

Handling, Ride, Rarity

Squeaks, Rattles, Thwaps aboud inside. Easy to dent, easy to scratch to the metal. Has slow days.

I paid 24,300 for my Prelude new w/the sport-shift auto. Acceleration is disappointing (It needs 5 gears), but mine is an automatic 4-cylinder after all. It's a credit to the engine that sprints feel as good as they do. I bought the car for its handling, and it doesn't disappoint. Keep good tires on a gen 5 Prelude and you won't find a better mix of superb cornering and comfortable highway ride for less than 35k.

Quickness; interior/exterior styling; the sound and feel of the engine in its powerband (5500 rpm); Honda durability.

Getting screwed by the Dealer (HONDA OF FIFE); windows that fog way too quickly; clunky shift from 4th to 5th when the car is cold; not so great sound system.

Please don't ask me about the dealership experience. Do yourself a favor and avoid HONDA OF FIFE (Washington - just south of Seattle on I-5).

Nagging complaints include a slightly high level of road noise, gimpy stereo, a clunky transmission until the car warms up and an unlighted glove box.

Other than that, the car is a beauty. I hear lots of positive comments on the styling and color, though the Diamond White is way hard to clean. Back seats are basically useless except for my 2 year old daughter and small odds and ends, but that's to be expected of a sports car. I don't hot rod around but it's nice to have strong acceleration when it's needed and the handling to deal with it. The front seats are comfy and cozy with good ergonomics. I'm 5'11'' and at the limit for entry/exit ease due to the car's low height. I recommend this car for anyone who wants both sportiness and comfort for a decent value. It can be a bit more expense than other cars in it's class (Eclipse, Integra...etc) but the fit and finish of the Honda can't be beat. Just don't buy from HONDA OF FIFE!

185,000miles and still going!!
I usally bring it up to 90mph daily on the pike.
Handles great.

The Maine winters have been tough on the body.
The automatic has a little shimmy between second and third
probably from the burn outs.

Weve had this car for 15years, I would recommend a Prelude to anyone that wants a car for life.

This car has the best handling of any car I've driven and it looks really sharp !

I'm 5'11" and I have the hardest time trying to get in and out of the car. The backseats - FORGET ABOUT IT !

I paid about 15G's for my 95 si , yes I know I got ripped off but it only had 35K and plus its one of the best cars out there for under 25G's. If your looking for a sporty car then get yourself a Prelude !
