HotLude, we speak English here. Not ghetto jive, dig it? Anyway, as for the fifth gen Prelude, you should be quite happy with it. Especially the five speed. The comfort on any Prelude is quite nice up front, forget the rear seat though. Trunk space is at a premium as well. It is definitely a driving oriented vehicle, as opposed to the Accord's more passenger accomodating design. Recalls, not many: SportShifts have problems, but you won't need to worry if your getting a stick. Some cars have the timming belt auto tentioner stick. Change that when you change the timming belt (you will hear a grrrr on deceleration at about 1500 rpm). The only real recall had to do with the ignition, but if you put the VIN number in Honda's owner link, it will tell you if your car applies. Chances are it won't. As for performance, fantastic. Slick clutch, the gears click nicely, and VTEC is sooooo sweet when you hit it. Tight, linear handling with no dead on center steering. Responsive brakes, and great throttle response in all five gears. The car will run smooth and solid all the way up to 130 if it has been taken care of (I had mine to 130 once). Everything else is Honda reliable.
