I had one for 9 months and it done nothing but fall apart, engine was strong, but everything fell apart!

I may have just brought one that wasnt well maintained. As is the chance with every car you buy, its more family friendly than a lude!

Having said that i think even if it didnt fall apart the prelude comes out on top!

Went from a 4G Lude to one 6 years ago. I loved the Lude, but prefer the ATR. It drives/handles better than the Lude and is all round much more practical. 4 doors, massive boot...

There are some abused dogs around, like any old car it has some faults, but apart from a couple of teething problems when I first bought mine it has been very reliable in 6 years of ownership. Recently had sticky callipers where I've not been using it as much but hey, what Honda doesn't suffer from sticky callipers!

Would you say the accord type r is better than a 4g lude

Definitely. Looks are obviously down to opinion, but it was the last of the proper type Rs (apart from the newest CTR). Lightweight, stiffened chassis (40% stiffer than the standard Accord), LSD as standard, lush Recaros, Momo steering wheel and an H22A7. Personally I wouldn't go back to a Lude after owning the ATR, as much as I still love them.
