| I (well OK my wife) have got a 2.3i Prelude.
I cost (much) less than the Celica on the scheme and with the expected
change in the Tax laws the >2.0L'ness doesn't bother us too much.
The 2.3L 4 pot engine is a dream. Below 4000 rpm nice and relaxed (but
plenty of torque) above 5000 rpm - W O W - although its not a VTEC it
certainly goes.
The 4 wheel steering takes some getting use to when parking - but
allows mid-corner course correction ``under power'' without any loss of
compose - a very odd feeling at first.
Safety : ABS, Air-bag, 4WS, impact bars, ... must be safer than a SAAB.
On the whole an excelent car - it's even easier to drive that the
Civic.
Cons :
1. What rear seat space.
2. No sensation of speed when crusing - you feel like you should
get out and push the car when doing 80. If it wasn't for the cruse
control you'd find yourself well over the limit.

| 1828.4 | How about MR/2 | BAHTAT::HILTON | Beer...now there's a temporary solution | Mon Jul 20 1992 15:17 | 4 |
| A recent What Car tested the CRX versus MR/2 and reckoned the Toyota
MR/2 was a better buy.

| If the Honda flash dash is anything like the Astra GTE one then there
should be an intensity knob for setting the brightness of the display
back to daylight standard when you switch the lights on during the day.

| It's next to the handbrake - but doesn't go quite a bright as the
no-headlamp mode.

| 1828.7 | Test drive please ? | LARVAE::HEYRE_R | | Mon Sep 21 1992 17:56 | 4 |
| Any Prelude owners in the Basingstoke/Reading area willing to let me
have a go ?
Marshalls in Reading do not have a demonstrator.
