Accords are less "look at me" and much, much cooler.

Get the accord, swap a stock F22 in, sell it, put the H22 in a Accord Wagon, slam it, win!

^ Horrible advice.

Prelude>Accord in every category except availability of used parts.

It looks 100x better and more like a proper sports car not a damn grocery getter.

I laughed. Op tell your friend to just drive them both and see which one he likes. They are basically the same car. But the accord has probably had a hard life seeing as how its swapped.

well the accord swap was done at a shop it seems they took their time and did it right but since its a h22 engine parts are the same but are the suspensions similar i hear preludes have a much better suspension and they are better for spirited driving any truth to that

i love preludes, ive owned two h22's, 1 jdm, one usdm, 1 a 94 and 1 a 93. I say get the lude. they ride great, are comfortable as shit, and the seating position is ten times better than that in an accord...

I think the suspensions are pretty much the same oem comparison different dampning and spring rates, sway bar setup make the difference in handling.
