One of the cars that I have always wanted to own was a 5th generation (97-01) Honda Prelude. I acquired a 1999 Honda Prelude base model used from a Honda dealership. I have owned the car for 8 months now and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Not many Preludes were created in the 5th generation so... Read full review »

Pros Styling, Speed, Sophistication, Suspension, Handling, need I say more?
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

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 supreme, as well as the 4 wheel disc ABS brakes -... Read full review »

Honda Prelude - Refined? Yea. Fast? Yea Right!

Pros Strong 4-cylinder engine, Excellent handling. Honda's reputation.
Cons Plain interior & Exterior, High price.
Recommended it? Yes

Driving Impressions:

While the Honda Prelude Type SH may feel a bit outdated inside, you can't complain about the excellent driving experience, well unless you are driving this car in a drag race. There is something almost magical about the Prelude's V-Tec engine and how it loves to rev... Read full review »

On my baby daughter's recent trip home from college, I had a chance to check out the little sportscar we had purchased with her in the summer of 2000.

Pros Comfortable, ample power and good handling
Cons Brakes aren't quite up to sports car standards.
Recommended it? Yes

I'd call my Honda Prelude an ultimate SUV: a sports car that's fun to drive, cost-effective, with plenty of cargo room to boot.

Why I bought this car:
I like sports cars. They're nimble-footed, stop quickly, and are a bit easier to park than say, a Ford Expedition. My weekend travels... Read full review »

Pros Great Looking Performance Car!
Cons This car seats 4? If you can fit people into the rear seats.
Recommended it? Yes

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, power windows, power door locks, power... Read full review »

Prior to buying my Prelude, I owned a '91 Honda CRX. It was the best car I have ever owned, but it was 8 years old and time to purchase something new. When I bought the CRX I wasn't making a lot of money and in my 20's, now in my late-30's, I decided to buy something a bit more expensive and... Read full review »

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 sporty but then they also worried a lot about my... Read full review »

Nothing seems to compare to this car for the money. I have owned three Preludes (88, 91 & 99) and have loved them all. They are great drivers cars and like to be driven hard. They are not for everyone though. 2001 should be the last year that Honda produces this fine automobile so if you own the... Read full review »

Simple and Clean best describes this car. I mainly bought this car for two reasons: 1. It was time for me to get a car of my own and 2. I pulled the transmission on my old car (94 Ford Escort). I love this car from the beginning to now. Again Simple and Clean... Read full review »
