My parents got me a 2000 Prelude for my 17th birthday. It was the four speed. Pics here,here,and here. It was such a fun car to drive. It was having tons of issues I was too broke to fix so yeah, I get that. It really was in the shop every few weeks for something new.
My parents urged me to buy something newer so I caved and bought a 2016 HR-V. Which I hated. Partly because I had to give up my Prelude for it, and also because it was so dogshit slow. They used the same 1.8 found in the 8th and 9th gen Civic. It’s a great engine, and it’s a pretty perfect match for the Civic, which weighs 400 pounds less. And I’d know, because my other car is a 9th gen Civic LX. That car actually has a little bit of pick up and go. I love my 9th gen. I think I’d have liked the car more if they used the same 1.5T the put in the '16 Civic.
Anyway, I’d been telling myself I’d get another one for years and the opportunity finally came up for a cheap, rust free, manual Prelude so I sprang on it. I just didn’t think the opportunity would spring up literally two weeks after posting my old car on here lmao
