My only problem with the layout is the continued use of horn buttons. I would prefer the horn be available by pressing anywhere in the middle of the steering wheel. Prelude as a well-placed adjustable drink holder in the center console out of the way of the instrumentation but not so far back that a Pepsi is not right at hand. Honda says it has upgraded the fabric interior and it shows. The cloth seats in my test car were very attractive and felt nice to the touch.
Storage is good, both for small items up front and for luggage.
The Prelude includes storage pockets in the doors and a center storage bin capable of holding CD cases. And if more storage is needed, the drink holder frame can be slid out of the way creating a small bin just behind the shifter. For hauling large items, the rear seatback folds forward producing space for a large number of items. The Prelude is basically a two-person coupe. The back seats are useable but adults should not be subjected to them for more than a few miles.
