Could be a better choice. If you don't mind doing a little suspension work, they might be good. >We don't actually get the Acura brand over here. Everything is a Honda, >plain and simple. Interesting. Here they rebadge them and everyone gets all excited at the "Acura" brand :-) The bottom of the line is OK over here (Integra). They get heavily riced out and you can take the car to whatever level you want - just a nice sporty ride or an NOS based monster. > >It was actually the generation 4 prelude I was looking at as a possible. >Seems to be a pretty decent spec car with a VTEC engine as a model >option, leather is rare but avialable on UK cars, and they seem to hold >their prices well for a 10+years old car.
