Honda Prelude

“The challenge, like I said, is when you're higher speed coming out of a bend and you are laying into the throttle, it doesn't have the torque. It's just not there”

“Straight line performance is pretty underwhelming. It makes good torque, but there's really no top end to speak of.”

“Is this car fast? And the simple answer is no, it is not. From a dig, if you're looking for a straight line vehicle, that is not this car.”

“it gives you the opportunity to consistently stay in power and just really exercise this chassis in a way that Oh my goodness.”

“this thing handles amazing because it does have the Type R suspension.”

“This Prelude can hustle on a back road. It's fun.”

“I don't think I've had this much fun in a hybrid outside of a Porsche 911 GTS.”

“What I think Honda has done here is build a hybrid that is genuinely fun to drive.”

“if you're going to buy this as the engineer intended, as a sporty hybrid car that you can drive like a straight up baboon on the on a twisty road, this is very full throttle up the hill.”

“I would happily get into this every morning and commute with this car... it's comfortable, it's luxurious, it's got an awesome sound system.”

“It's more fun than any Civic Hybrid, and it's a lot more comfortable and easier to live with and drive than a Civic Type R.”

“if I needed to sit in these seats for more than a couple of hours, the Honda is the clear choice.”

“I cannot recommend this car as it is.”

“Base price for this vehicle is a lot more expensive than I thought at $42,000... that's where it makes it tough to recommend the Prelude.”

“spec to spec, the Prelude is $8,000 more than a Civic. So, when you look at it from that perspective as well, you can maybe also see why some people are a bit displeased with this.”
