Performance for the Prelude is significantly better than the Integra -- not sure if they still produced the GSR at that time. If so, they would be difficult to find. The back seat in the Lude is unusable except for youg children. For the most part the Prelude is reliable and will run hard even past 100k. The only weak point is the auto tensioner which can go bad as early as 65k miles. The VTEC comes on with a bang at 5300 rpm all the way to redline at 7400 with great performance. Handing is superb. It will be difficult to find a decent Prelude that has not been "modified" badly in some way. |

Thanks, I figured so, I own a 92 prelude at present and have driven a couple of my budies integra's but I dont feel that "high" as when i'm driving my Lude. |

At age 65 I got a little tired of shifting and having to herd it through traffic. Had the usual Prelude quirks -- used oil at about 1 qt every 2500 or so miles and blew a little smoke until warmed up. Probably should have kept it as weekend driver. |
