If your not going to be modding it then its a very nice ride to have I've had mine for about 6 years and I love it. Do you do alot of Interstate driving with it? Because it sucks for driving at like 70mph for a long distance, it feels like it needs another gear when on the interstate because your going 70 and the tac is at about 3500 and the drone can be horriable--then again I have an exhaust system on mine and I didn't have a stock one on it before it was a manual transmission car. So it maybe fine stock. It's certianly a good buy. Something to look for are recall items, the Prelude had faulty seat belts so run it by your dealer to make sure its been taken care of. Also they have a notorious auto-tensioner on the timing belt that has been known to fail and bend valves. However I've never had that problem or known someone who has, generally it happens to people who change the timing belt and not the tensioner at the same time---which is flipin retarded cause if you've ever had to put an Autotensioner back in its mounting bracket you'll know its a pain and takes two people to do, you'd just as soon as buy another one dispite they $70 price tag...any way I'm off on a tangent.
