I'm stuck on Preludes. Are you stuck with a price range? If not check out some of the 5th gens. I have heard nothing but good things so I took a chance while I was deployed and bought one with 111,000 miles. It runs and rides like new. I had never driven a manual tranny before, but hondas are so freindly like that. Catch on quick and deffinetly the way to go.
