As the owner of an 01 Prelude I have been considering replacing it with the RSX S. Does anyone know if the synchro problems with the 6 speed have been fixed on the 05s. Any other problems? To date -- through 57k miles the Prelude has been bulletproof.

The RSX is ugly compared to the Prelude.(or last-model Integra) Looks like it was inflated like a balloon.High and narrow.
And I suspect the Prelude handles better. I wish Honda had not stopped making the Prelude.
Love the Prelude -- but what is the alternative. I may just keep it anyway. The next gen Prelude should have had a 6 speed and perhaps 220 hp with the same basic design -- then you would have had something.

I guess the Prelude was getting to look too much like the Accord. At least my 90 Prelude was close to the Accord.I would have bought another Peelude instead of the Integra if Honda had not come out with that ugly Prelude,the one before the last model.
Instead of a 6 speed,I'd rather have limited slip transmission. Of course,I believe the RSX has both.
Hey,you could put an RSX-S motor/transaxle in your Prelude,and have your 6- speed,limited slip,and a potentially more powerful motor.
RSX-S does not have LSD.
It does have transmission problems in 2nd/3rd though :)
So, Honda has not yet solved the problem with the 05.
Does TSX have the same transmission?
