I was lucky enough to collect my Prelude back in March on Friday 13th, one of the early UK examples.
I was hoping my collection date would bode well and so far the Prelude has exceeded my expectations in every department!
It is such a pleasure to drive and I seem to get quite a lot of interest from folk that have never seen one 'in the wild' so to speak. Having a rare car is always a talking point and probably says more about me appreciating the difference and loving Honda's approach to their customers.
It is a lovely 2+2 GT and doesn't deserve the slagging off the vehicle gets on social media. The luggage carrying capability is astounding for such a car and I even managed to fit in a large adult rocking chair into the boot with the back seats folded, much to my amazement.
Have done a few thousand miles over the last 4 months and so far have a long term average of 56 mpg (UK gallons). Probably the first car I actively seek alternative routes to the motorways to get around, such is the joy of the driving on our notoriously winding B-roads and exploring more challenging driving routes than normal!

I still receive a lot of thumbs up with my GR Yaris but I do expect much, much more when the prelude arrives.
Agree about the terrible comments about it from mainly North America about HP, 0-60 and many more things. People need to drive it without looking at the figures on paper. The UK reviewers have all said how much attention it gets and also that they were seeing 55+ mpg.
Can't wait for mine. Due in on 18th Aug but garage says they will hold it to 1st September here in UK as that is when the new registration plate comes out - that does affect the value if sold in a few years. Ordered 10th June and they will honour the part exchange price agreed then.
