I agree, try to obtain a 98' or above 5th. Gen. Honda Prelude. The 97' model year was the first year and it did have some problems with the tranny.

I believe there's an SE edition Prelude only available from Canada that has leather interior, Type SH rims, painted side, rear, & front moldings, and spoiler but does not have the ATTS (Type SH) system. Something you should look into.
i'll have to disagree. after actually looking into the TSB's and recalls issued for the Prelude 97+, the 1997 has no more issues than any of the later 5th gens.

the tranny problem is with all of them (5th gear shift fork), and there's an ongoing auto tranny issue with all of them.

there's the balancer shaft seal problem with all of them, icluding a lot of 4th gens.

i did this to make sure my 97 was up to date. 4th and 5th gen models dont have many issues since the chassis has been in use by the accord since 1990, and the motor was well worked out by 1997.
