its cause a prelude was a $26,000 car brand new, they had to make it nice in order to sell for that price. the handling on preludes are nice, and at 130 im so firm on the road it feels like my friends civic(97 in good shape) at about 70

as far as it feeling like a complete POS, its because you drove a better car. i drove my moms car around (2002 lexus es300) for a few days, then drove mine again... my car felt like it was a POFS because i didnt have the great ride comfort, then i drove my friends 92 civic DX and got back in mine and thought i was in a race car. when you are used to a car, and you have to drive something worse than yours, its obviolsy gonna feel horrible. remeber mustangs, expecialy a cobra, are above the 18,000 top of the line civic as far as performance. some imports handle well, the sportyer ones, i think the handling thing was FWD imports(ITR or a prelude) vs. rwd domestic (fox body or camaro) and since the imports in the example out handle the domestics, people think it applys across the board. cars CAN be made to handle better, but that also works both ways.
