Not without it's problems though.  Ever taken a look under the
bonnet of a Prelude?  Hose-o-rama!

Question for anyone with A/C on a Prelude:  I have heard that some
Preludes must have their air-conditioners recharged and cleaned
periodically at a service center someplace in Utah.  Anyone had any
major failures or found any obvious design problems with a Prelude?

I love a car with a sunroof and lots of pick-up, but I can't afford
a Porsche... only the poster.  Enjoy!
