Well, allow me to give a little insight.

I have a 1996 Prelude S auto. yea... auto shut up.

I also have a 1993 Integra LS 5spd. Just got recently and am still new to 5spd.

Big diffrence in cars here. Auto vs 5spd, neither have VTEC etc....

Now, I commute about 30-45 mins, mostly highway. Ride quality is about the same, I feel the road just about the same. Turns in the Integra are great, I feel good about them, feel the road well, tight turning radius... over all pretty much what I would EXPECT from the car. The Prelude on the other hand.... has just about the same handling, slightly better IMO.... from a bigger more bulky feeling car. NOT what I would expect.

The Integra I can see out of like a minivan. Almost no blind spots, and it feels good. The Prelude, lots of blind spots. Feel more like I'm down in a cockpit than driving a car. Depends on my mood which one I prefer on any given day.

Parts, yea Integra wins here. Integras are much more popular, so I would expect that. All in all... the Integra is more of what I would expect a car like that to be like. The Prelude... ahhh the Prelude is diffrent. The Prelude awe's me everytime I drive it. When I don't think that it can take a corner like I think it can... I try it for the hell of it, and it does... if not better.

Now... which do I prefer? Well since I got the Integra, I've mostly driven that. It's fun, it's quick and nimble... I've been trying to get better at stick than anything else. If I were given the choice of a Prelude 5spd VTEC or either a 93 Teggy 5spd VTEC or a newer model Teg 5spd VTEC.... I'd go with the Prelude.
