Leaving the high mileage Honda club so soon? I'm geared up to hit 185k this week, but I need new front wheel bearings and a new cat

When I drove the 6 speed TL I really didn't like it, compared to my AV6 it just felt big and heavy...I can't imagine how much more so it would feel compared to your Prelude. The TSX was much more to my liking. Anyway, the VTEC is noticeable but only if you're privvy to it and listen closely. It's about the same as my engine before I put on my SRI. You can barely hear it and feel it, but you get a nice rush of power past the engagement point.
