4th gens handle very well, Ive driven all three of abstractludes preludes (4th gens) and after just basic shock/spring combo(nothing super awesome) the car handles very well. The car is not that heavy(similar weight to my S chassis), stearing is very responsive/ good feedback

The chassis is more rigid than any civic or integra ive driven. the whole car feels like its built better to me than DC2's and EG's/EK's which I have also driven.

In the case of the motors the H22a, that motor is very smooth, not in power band(fucking vtak) but with normal driving, and downshifting and everything else it makes my engine feel like a fucking mower.

If it wasnt FWD I would consider it over my old S13.

Dont have any experience with any other generation prelude though.
