So, my thoughts about the 4g Prelude after my road trip
Pros
Comfortable driving position, feels faster because you're so low to the ground
4 wheel steer makes a nice difference
Love the fact a 20 year old car has so many toys (climate, cruise, elec windows)
Love the shape
Indicators on the right, can change gear and indicate at the same time
Hardly ever see another
2.2 engine is so smooth, can coast at 30 in 5th and pull away no juddering
Fuel consumption good, done 325 miles with 3 blips left on the gauge
VTEC
Cons
Climate control unit dims too much when you put the lights on
Headlights are crap
Beeping noises getting in and out (door open?)
Wipers not fast enough for terrential rain
Boot is a bit high to see out of for short arses like myself
Steering wheel is too thin, deffo changing that
