i love hondas ive worked on them and owned them for years but the h22a that comes in that prelude isnt that nice of a motor yea its fast but its hot hondas best motor soo u might want to find on e with low miles 130k or less second its hard to find a prelude in that year in good condition. soo i would sugest a newer one 2000 or newer those are ussualy better taken care of and u wont run into as much problems. i have never owned or worked on a celica except a gt4 but in my opinion they seem to have very clanky motors... ( make to much racket) and the whole man/auto thing is crap because one thats very early stages of that system in any car soo u might ru into problems in the future second its gay. and those cars arnt good drivers cars there more for just going to work and back

I'd buy the celica (meh on the auto-stick though) and I hate celicas (except the gt-four/all trac).

No reason to buy a prelude that old in that price range in my opinion.
