question on a few Hondas

okay since my funds are low I got my next car narrowed down between a few cars.
#1. New Civic Si(the hatchback)(160 HP)
#2. The Civic 2 door Si coupe(the older series don't know the HP rating)
#3. 98-02 Accord 2 door 4 popper(that's right in the 160 HP range)
#4. The last series of Prelude(H22 motor)

The thing is I haven't sat in the new Si or a Prelude. I'm 6 ft 3 290 lbs I can get into Accord pretty easily. Dad said theres no way I'll be comfortable in a Si .I'm leaning toward the Prelude cause they had the most power but I also like the coupe Sis cause they look cool. and the power to weight ratio on a Si is pretty good.

I test drove a prelude SH and it was SMALL for me (6'1" 205). Si was small too. I think Accord may be your safest bet...

just my 2 pennies

I would lean toward the Accord if you are over about 6'1" or so. More leg room

just my .02 as well

If you getting a car so you can put mods on it, then I would go with the SI Coupe, but if you just want something to roll in.. then go with the Accord for comfort. IMO.

I owned a 1998 Prelude. I'd say you will fit right in. It's a little more refined than the civic SI... maybe on par with the Accord, but a lot sportier. The car is very quick and the H22A motor has a LOT of potential!!

doesn't that 8 sec. AEM Civic have a H22 in it???
99-00 Si's are nice, can do a lot to them...and they'll look hot, but the only problem with Civics/Accords/Preludes are...everything that can be done to them has been done....the new Si would be the way to go...although i don't think they look that good...WRX's don't either, but i wouldn't mind havin one...

I'm leaning more toward a Prelude with a H22 motor cause their a shade bigger than a Civic Si but more HP
