The Honda Prelude, especially the VTEC, is a little more expensive than some popular small sport coupes such as the Probe or Celica. But this is an exceptional car - brilliant in concept, outstanding in execution and virtually unbreakable.If you want to save about $3000, the Si might be the better buy. Its performance is brisk and there's little to differentiate the Si and VTEC in terms of handling.
Regardless of model, we think there should be a Prelude on every sport-coupe shopper's list. This car is the standard by which the others are judged.
