A sport coupe should deliver both style and performance, and the Prelude provides farmore than the minimum daily requirement of both.
Although cars like this have to cover basic automotive missions like comfortable
commuting and errand-running, their primary function is to get their owners' adrenal
glands pumping.
The Prelude Si and VTEC are particularly good at this.
It's true that the Prelude has a tiny back seat, but that's true to some degree of all
cars in this class and we constantly marvel at folks who buy a Prelude, Probe, Eclipse
or the like and later start griping about the back seat space.
The Prelude is designed to provide mechanical sophistication and high-quality assembly
in a stimulating personal transportation package. And that's precisely what it does.
True, it can't carry a little league team or two weeks' worth of groceries, and high
ground clearance and 4-wheel drive just aren't part of its game.
But no sport-utility vehicle on earth can deliver this kind of handling and
excitement. Come to think of it, neither can most other cars.
