I think Preludes are one of the coolest cars Honda has made. Personally, I would drive a prelude over an accord, def. over a Hyundai. 1997 through 2001 preludes are fun to drive, reliable, and easy to maintain. Just be sure to find one that isnt modded up (intake, exhaust, headers etc). I am 26 and have a prelude as a second toy car, I purchased mine (2001 manual - non SH) for 8500.
