I'm considering buying one . It seems like a pretty special car.
Good idea or not?

I have an 01 Prelude SE 5spd and it's an amazing car. It's not the
fastest car on the road, but the feel of it is amazing. I am biased by
my personal preferences, but I had a choice between the Prelude SE (or
SH), Integra TypeR, RSX TypeS, Accord Coupe V6, Subaru WRX STi (all
manual, 00-04 models) and by far I liked the Prelude the best. But
again, it really comes down to your personal preference.

One advice though, if you do decide to get the Prelude, make sure it is
the 5spd not the SS (auto). The SportShift transmission is not as
performant as the 5spd, and has some reliability problems. Visit
www.hpoa.com (Honda Prelude Owners Association) for a lot of information
regarding everything Prelude related.
