hey guys well I ruled out the 4th gen earlier for my car purchase mainly because of back seat room(same w/ toyota mr2

,2 seats) but the parents said its your car, not the passengers so do what you want.
Sooo, now I can try for a 97 prelude w/ newer design and vtec on all models, or a 4th gen w/ more standout styling and perhaps no VTEC
try to compare these as fairly as possible, understanding I might not get a VTEC if I got a 4th gen.
thanks
ps I saw a vee dub carrado, and I now nothing of VW so if u honda guys kno anything clue me in on that one too.
