Some time ago, I had a 2.3 prelude with 4WS, and the car really surprised me for 2 reasons: Consumption: The car is new, and you want to enjoy the performance first, so I drive on suitable occasions on the BAB full throttle, and in the city I am also speedy. For comparison: My CRX used about 10L, the 200SX 14L. Now the hammer! The average consumption of the prelude (measured over 2300 KM) was at sensational 9.9 L 100KM! Do your prelude consume so little fuel? Acceleration: Yes Lord, I am guilty, I have done it. I drove around on down roads and am amazed with which carts the prelude can compete at the traffic light! I hang the SLK (200K) from my buddy and the almost 200 hp of a 325 E36 are also not a serious problem. Never would have thought that the prelude plays in this league! I was already very often surprised by my used cars, but to the first time I am positively surprised!! Never thought that the prelude could reach the CRX with the fun factor the water!
