  • Economy

    Value

    Lacks one or two features that my previous Prelude had.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    About standard for this type of car, but as for tyres... ouch!

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The four-wheel drive takes a bit of getting used to.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Lots of power, offset by lots of weight.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Hugely reliable, even if - like mine - it's not used too often.

    Genuinely turns heads. Bodykit and colour makes a huge difference, though.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very comfy, but would benefit from having softer seats.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Immobiliser, but no alarm - whose bright idea was that?

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Generally very good.
