Good Points

The best looking sports coupe of the era. Very very fast as standard. Great build quality. Terrific reliability. One of the best customisable cars on the road. Wonderful sound when VTEC cuts in.


Bad Points

Rear wheel arches prone to rust.


General Comments

I have owned and driven many cars but few put a smile on my face in the way a 4th generation Honda Prelude does. I have just sold my BB4 2.2 VTEC import as two adults, three kids and 1 large dog do not fit! But I was gutted to see it go. Mine was highly customised with paint job, aftermarket alloys, lowered, custom exhaust etc etc etc, but you don't need all that to enjoy the wonderful lines of the car, the superb performance, the great sound, the tight handling.
You only need around £1800 maximum to get a wonderfully clean example. The engines are hugely reliable, just look for one that has been serviced well and has had the cam belts done at the correct times. Check also the rear whell arches which are quite prone to rotting. Well worth making sure the inner arch rims are cleaned regularly to avoid rust.
Recommended? Absolutely!
