Most of the things you can find from the first generation Prelude were all borrowed from the second generation Civic including the four wheel independent struts, brakes, and floorpans. Even the front of the Prelude is slightly look like the Civic.

However, Prelude is still a Prelude. There are no other cars as special as it. We say so because the Prelude had quite a low ride and wide profile with 161.01 in (length) x 64.38 (width) x 50.8 (height). The designs make this car give a comfortable and stable ride to the driver and passengers. Other than that, the Prelude used a one-piece sub-frame chassis with monocoque body that is set up as a two-pillar structure to increase body and torsional rigidity.

The Prelude received many compliments on its ability to handle well being very well balanced and rivaling. Awards are also given to the Prelude. “It is,” wrote Brock Yates for Motor Trend, “by any sane measurement, a splendid automobile. The machine, like all Hondas, embodies fabrication that is, in my opinion, surpassed only by the narrowest of margins by Mercedes-Benz. It is a relatively powerful little automobile by anybody’s standards.”
