The 5th Generation Honda Prelude.
Discussion
I was chatting to a chap in work today about these cars. I have had one, and completely loved it.
To those who don't know it, the car was the last Prelude to be built by Honda, a 2+2 Coupe really.
The best engine was the H22 (The A5 or A8, although lower spec engines were available) , available in the earlier cars with 185bhp as a manual or a sublime (albeit problematic in later life) Tiptronic box. The layer models had just under 200bhp.
The top spec models came with air con, cruise, electric windows and a fantastic 4-Wheel-Steer system which gave what was a larger car very very good handling characteristics.
IMO, The car was fantastic looking too. Mine was a Motegi Edition, which had sideskirts, front and rear lips and a bonnet spoiler. A stunning looking car.
Most people wouldn't know what it was if they saw one, just wondering what the PH thoughts are on this car??

Why does it have handles at the bottom of the windscreen?
Optional bonnet spoiler. I was told it helped with stability at high speed.I just think it looked cool
I understand about practicality, when I went on holiday I invested in this..
I'd have another in a heartbeat...
ked! I can see the appeal to a degree but 3! must be something in the water where i live the guy down from me has two celicasFair enough, I very much doubt that they do anything though.
Was the mk5 still as reverse tardis-like as the previous generation? I never understood how they managed to get so little interior space in such a big car. The steering on the mk4 was awful too, quite a nice car otherwise though.

I had two Gen3 4ws models, did a combined 100k miles in them both, brilliant little motors if not quite as sporty as they made out.
My ma had a 2.2Vti, and while it was a nice machine it felt very soft compared to the ITR I had at the time. The 4ws kept tripping out too, as it was the later electronic version. I much preferred the mechanical version I had previously
