You HAVE to review a manual version of this car. Pure gold

[@londonjadiel3952]

not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on Instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother these days =)

[@beauahmir4287]

@London Jadiel Yup, been using Instaflixxer for since december myself :D

[@MINTPRELUDE]

The preludes "acoustic feedback system" was standard on all 5th gen ludes. Was their premium sound system for the time. Microphones were supposedly built into the rear speakers, which were meant to help smooth out sound distortions.

[@chrissims4046]

I had a 98, same color combo and was a 5 speed manual. Such a great car. I wish I had it back. Was my daily driver for 15 years

[@Discovery2024-rn8kn]

Why did you sell it?

[@loosecannon9301]

That's a clean car it's the stepchild of the JDM vehicles

[@jordanjoestar8839]

Thoughts as a Lude owner. 1. The Auto is GARBAGE. By the time the Auto is dropping into gear for a pull I'm already near redline ready to slap it into the next gear. It's not a matter of IF the auto will fail, its WHEN. The manual is super notchy and feels FANTASTIC. 2. With full ground control suspension, you can induce oversteer much like a RWD mid corner. Toss it into the corner and let off the throttle, you can skid the rear. 3. People always mistake it for an S13 (rear angle) or any other long nosed coupe. Nobody ever seems to know that the hell I'm driving. 4. H22 is a very good sounding engine, with great low end torque for its size, especially compared to the B series sounds very throaty and deep, nothing like a beehive you expect to hear. Great review, long live the Prelude. Value is going up so now is the time to snag one!

[@vtaunderground8722]

Just got a type sh yesterday! Can’t wait to work on it, but nice lude my dude

[@eduardorivera4100]

Boo the manual feels so different. I’ve drove both n they feel like different cars

[@aleksiesko885]

the cupholder and ashtray is on the passenger side in japan tho. Honda just didnt bother to relocate them

[@Checkmate777]

I’m very uneducated when it comes to cars but my grandpa had a prelude 1999 and when she died she gave it to us and for awhile I was thinking of getting rid of it but now I think it would be kinda neat to deck it out.

[@michaelrajkumar9538]

Dont get rid of it. Its a fast appreciating asset as its an 90s jdm car. Dont ever sell it. In a few years your car; if in good condition, will be worth tens of thousands

[@chickenenjoyer]

Love clean preludes they make me happy, Also have a bone stock prelude with only 70k miles on the clock

[@ginnai]

Acoustic feedback system - the head has microphones and it compares the output signal (speakers) to the input (microphone) and adjusts the output to optimize the sound. This also made aftermarket parts incompatible with that head.

[@JoeDawesome]

Dang good review you are gonna go places brotha!

[@michaelc.6306]

I destroyed 3 of the 4 speed SportShift transmissions. The original was under 36k miles. Bought it new from 11/97 to 7/04 ...155k miles, traded, $5k. The Stereo supposedly had a microphone in the system which was to listen to its system & adjust the sound level with respect to volume & the road noise.

[@thefuzzypickle8277]

Wheels are also on backwards

[@pete6705]

My old car. Had the manual though, in black with tinted windows. God I miss that car 😢

[@nicugirbu1727]

Dude that was a very interesting review Thank you!

[@josesigala7520]

Man I saw one for sale when I pass by school wish I could go see it but I got work to do. Hopefully by Saturday it's still there

[@CesarMartinez-wi7wc]

Was it there?

[@josesigala7520]

@@CesarMartinez-wi7wc no sadly that day I actually went to go get a miata and when I passed by there was someone already handing papers to it :(

[@CesarMartinez-wi7wc]

@@josesigala7520 rn there is a 2005 Mustang GT with 170k and a 1999 Prelude with 123k for 3.5 and 4k respectively. I am inclined towards prelude but not entirely sure.

@@CesarMartinez-wi7wc idk about the mustang especially the early years but I'd definitely go for the predule

[@CesarMartinez-wi7wc]

@@josesigala7520 I asked and it was not for sale anymore :(

[@ConeFlower-gx2qk]

I’d normally complain mines an auto but I mean it was free so oh well

[@owenmstar]

I love the 4 gen , but remember it was alot more cramped lol , still my favorite prelude

[@TheBb6prelude]

4th is only a 2 seater. The two front people have a huge amount of space. I'm 6'1 and there's still like 4 clicks on the seat to move backwards. The rear seats are completely useless so I gutted both of my 4h gens.

[@siugarfield7647]

for an over 20years old car, this is in a fair good shape

[@wallbreaker2]

The acoustic feedback system has microphones built into it that sampled the sound in the car and of it detected any sound not originated from the system like distortion it would shut off to prevent blowing the speakers or causing any other damage. I had the stereo in the prelude I had shut off once when I played it too loud.

[@nomaskon4988]

So excited to start driving mine...

[@vintagecottonon]

I always pronounced it "Pre-Lude" lol, might be my aussie accent i dunno. This 1999 model looks so damn clean, i wish i could find one like this near my city 😭

[@Fatality0n3]

Good review man! but I think if they should bring back any previous Honda model it should be the S2000. Huge fan of the preludes though!

[@frsuighrsiyhfisegf]

Always wanted to get one of these but the Type SH, apparently makes it feel rear wheel drive..

[@williamweir1547]

Cool review man👍

[@iravillarreal7467]

help! i just bought a 1998 prelude with 143 miles. im having a hard time understating the gear shifting. question what gear do i drive it? for a normal drive ... please help

[@Mingeeming10]

I’ve heard automatic transmissions go out every 100k miles. Is this true?

[@thefuzzypickle8277]

Yeah the autos are trash

[@yourfather5324]

My 2006 Altima 4 cyl had an auto transmission that are suppose to only last 100k miles but it made it to 180k before it started slipping, maintenance is key to making things last

[@d4cros812]

its all about the maintenance. have an 97 prelude with the at and over 200.000 km on it, and shifts flawless

[@ericleal4931]

i beat on my auto every now and then and it crapped out at 109k miles. the 5 spd swap is almost complete :)

[@Ivs-qu7my]

Depends. If you beat on it 24/7? Yeah, it won’t stand the stress, and it’ll likely blow a clutch pack and / or blow the torque converter and / or the computers will fail, due to the fact that the sensors aren’t adjustable, meaning that the tiniest change in tolerances really destroys the transmission. However, if you’re just doing some cruising around town and not hitting vtec too much, it’ll last with good maintenance.

[@justanothertroll9205]

Not too bad but you still need to learn. Prelude it's the best as it is. Drifting has nothing to do with fast driving. Around 200hp on RWD means nothing against same power FWD .On track was better than any other Honda in its time except ITR and Nsx. ITR just had shorter gears and stiffer suspensions OEM. Prelude was more a luxury car .With just some coilovers Preludes were better . H being way better engine than any B.

[@mannyvalentino9184]

would i be a good idea to buy one at 163k miles?

[@Truszn]

It’s a Honda

[@thefuzzypickle8277]

I truly believe the ONLY way this car can come back is as a RWD 4 cyl turbo that can enter the market with the FRS BRZ and as a cheaper option to the supra

[@SlapStyleAnims]

Sadly it’s coming back as a FWD hybrid with no manual

[@cblizay1165]

Damn only if my 93 accord had those cup holders

[@jarrettlabate5595]

I have a 1998 Honda prelude type sh with a 6 speed AWD k24

[@southwest6168]

Can you review a Lexus SC300?

[@francocagayat7272]

If Honda only kept it.....it should have rivaled the Nissan 370Z and or the Toyota FT-86....... .........since the Accord coupe, although have filled its void, it has never matched it's sporting allure

[@filamanflashy-versacecliqu5028]

I miss my 1999 prelude with HKS headers :( .

[@sincerelyrob4240]

They got rid of the digital gas gauge?! Lame. Mine is a 92 and it has the futuristic digital gauge. At least feels futuristic for a 30 yr old car.

[@weeb121]

Hey it's an automatic what happened to the straight-up-and-down shifters lol

[@bhenderson3315]

Your rims are on backwards

[@wuya31100]

Really really?

[@mr.horse1801]

Am i the only one that noticed the wheels are on backwards in the front? Fix your wheels dude theyre directionial

[@caffina5882]

Don't get the type sh. Atts system turns into a money pit and it weighs a lot.

S2000 came out, attention shifted away from this car. Acura back with Type S.
