    The shifter on this car is _sublime._ Or so I've always read. Until I bought mine. And even at 407,000 km, the shifter feels amazing. Every gear change feels so confident. The shift gates are right where you expect them to be, and the transmission is so tactile.

    Top video weer!
    Hier gaat het Honda hartje toch weer sneller van slaan.
    De lol en rijbeleving wat je hiermee hebt is anders dan met het moderne geblazen spul. De motoren die honda destijds maakte geeft nog steeds een blijvende glimlach. Veel moderne auto's vervelen mij qua beleving snel. Ik denk dat veel kenners het gevoel wel kennen. Maar ieder zijn genot 😜

    ahh... the BB8 prelude. briefly had an H22, so much fun. unfortunately it somehow leaked oil into the dizzy and I had to get rid of it. not many around these days, and while not as sought after as an integra or even civic of the same vintage, still plenty of fun per liter. my dad even had one when i was very young and used to complain it was the most expensive car he'd ever owned, purely due to the amount of speeding tickets he got in it!

    In the early 90's Poland, that was something. Great cars, with nice velour upholstery, totally reliable. For that time, they were also considred quite fast, with nice revving engine.
    Back than, Honda had Civic VTi, Accord, Prelude, both CRX and CRX del Sol, Legend Coupe, and of course NSX.

I've been building them and tuning them since 90s and this car has the least to offer, so I'm not missing any points. That's not to say that it's worthless, it's just uninspiring and not particularly good at anything. I'm simply not idolizing a car just because it's a 90s honda. You do you :)
      And don't tell me the point of "hondas of old" is a car with a lazy engine and lazy handling, that means you're missing the point, missing it entirely. I would recommend this car to a grandpa who just refuses to buy an accord and wants something more interesting looking.

      No this isn't a B16B CRX, an ITR DC2, or an EP3/EK9. But it's still a lot more fun to drive around than modern cars because of the chassis.
      I'll re-iterate, If you can't have fun in a slower car, you're just not a car guy to me. Because you will not appreciate what the car offers, and only zoom -in on what it lacks. And that means this will always be your point of conversation. Meaning you'll be the type of guy that always thinks X is better, and no fun to hang around. Because there is always something better. You could be sitting there with a spoon engine, fully track-ready FD2, and someone in a stock M80 will still gap you. This isn't the point.
