He is adorable! My Chow rides in the backseat as well and I cut out part of the seat cover that I used on my Accord sedan to avoid covering that vent. (So glad you mentioned that it *is* a battery vent!)

Nice! I have a Chow Chow (who is not a jumper and who refuses to enter the car with the front seat folded forward, so he will always enter the car through the door and climb over the console into the back) and I have wondered if he would be more comfortable if I did something similar in mine...

That’s nothing to be ashamed of, though. Even on a trip with a LOT of highway driving (by someone who admittedly has a lot of trouble driving the speed limit) and part of the time spent on some winding mountain roads in Tennessee really pushing the car to see how it would handle (is there...

This is a long review (40 minutes, but it has a table of contents so you can skip parts if you wish) comparing the Prelude with the “sportiest” version of the Prius and the BRZ/GR86. (Keep in mind that one of these guys LOVES the GR86/BRZ — it “stirs” his soul — despite the interior that he...

I’m not a fan of the various colors of “gunmetal gray” on any car, but I actually think the gray Prelude still looks nice. (It remains MY last color choice (I was hoping for red but I got a black one — and am sure glad that I didn’t decide to wait for a red one to be available in my area! —...

Agreed… it drives and looks great. On those rare occasions when I long for that missing third pedal, I remind myself that my 1999 Prelude (also black) only got 26 mpg on *premium* fuel and my new one gets 43+ on *regular* fuel. For those complaining about the cost of the new Prelude need to...

I love that she admits that this generation of the Prelude is the same s what the previous generations of the Prelude were **at their heart** — when you move beyond the superficial “it always had a MT and a moonroof” and that she admits what I have found… that it actually handles BETTER than my...

I had already seen this review (and enjoyed it) before I had the chance to take my new 2026 Prelude down to Tennessee and have a GREAT time on some mountain road curves. Traffic was light so I frequently had the chance to really enjoy it and see how it handled in the curves. It was fun. Even...

Compared to the Accord hybrid sedan I had been driving for the past decade, I actually think the soundproofing on the Prelude is decent! It obviously depends on what you are comparing it to. Why do you find the access to the back (not really a trunk with a hatchback/liftback) to be “extremely...

I bought WeatherTech floor mats for my Prelude, but they don’t offer a trunk mat for it yet. I don’t care for the ones that Honda has, so have been holding off, but I may have to break down and order one in a couple of months, anyway, if no one else makes one.

Thanks for the “stealth” perspective! Maybe that will help me be less disappointed that it is hard to see. With the window tinted (something the dealer did on their own, even though they KNEW I was interested in the car before it even arrived…), it does actually add to the “stealth” factor I...

I had already been giving my long-time Honda salesman grief for a couple of years over the lack of any interior options on the Civic Type R and Civic Si (I love red cars but hated the upholstery on both of them), so I let him know that I was very interested in test driving a Prelude when they...

I really love the red! It was my first color choice, but none of the dealers in this area had (or were getting) any red ones, and my ‘99 Gen5 Prelude that I loved so much was black, so I bought another black one…

I really do like the Boost Blue color, but I was afraid that I might not like it as much several years down the road. My 1999 Gen5 Prelude was black, and although red was my first color choice, the one (and still only) one my long time dealer here was getting was black (and none of the other...

The tiny back seat (and the difficulty of even the dogs getting in and out), was my biggest hesitation — well, other than the cost! — in buying the car as well. I was able to get the rear .seat cover from my Accord sedan to fit temporarily, but I will need to do some “alterations” on it soon...
