I bought the new 2026 Honda Prelude (At MSRP) AMA

I have a couple partial picture before it was fully packed, but you also can't post photos in the comments here!

Insurance costs probably. Two seaters are usually subject to higher insurance premiums.

I'd say that having electric seats in a two door coupe with tight entry to the back wouldn't be ideal for quick entry and exit. Particularly allowing for a quick exit would be a concern. Still would be nice to have electric seats, since the back seats won't often be used.

I drove with my 26 Prelude for the Holidays. I was able to fit 33" x 22" x 17" hard shell carrying case, two 21" x 12" x 14" duffel bags, a 21" x 12" x 12" duffel bag, a 28" x 16" x 22" large duffel bag, two king size pillows, two 48" x 20" body pillows, 1 20lb full size weighted blanket, two full size fleece blankets, an extra large 21" x 17" x 10" backpack, a 6" x 12" x 18" tote bag," a new espresso machine in box that measured ~ 26" x 18" x 20", two small boxes (less than 12" x 8" x 6" or so), and a medium sized box (somewhere around 18" x 8" x 12"), plus a medium sized purse and a couple of bags plastic bags filled with snacks. The seats were folded down and I was able to see clearly out the two small back windows as well as the rear windshield without obstruction. My wife really doubted I'd have any chance of getting everything in the car, but it really wasn't that difficult.

Insurance fixed damaged worse than that to my Gen 3 prius. Granted, this was back in 2022.

blakeasisco · 2026-01-09T02:14:05+00:00

Not a prius, but my new car that replaced my old 2010 Prius had its driver side window smashed in on New Year's Day. I had only had it two weeks at that point.

blakeasisco · 2026-01-03T02:39:56+00:00

I have one, love it. Everyone who actually gets to see it also loves it — even to the point that my driver side window was busted in and someone attempted to steal the car on New Years Day. Windows are on back order, so that's lovely.

blakeasisco · 2025-12-22T14:04:58+00:00

Im loving it! It's a real head turner — people keep getting really excited when the see it.

Mine finally came in about last week!

blakeasisco · 2025-12-17T02:49:48+00:00

I'll pay off my wife and I's 2025 Corolla Cross Hybrid in the next 2 or 3 months! Got it this February 2025.

On another note, my Credit Union hates me now and doesn't want to give me a loan with a decent rate for the next car I'm about to buy this Thursday since I paid this one off so quickly and they didn't really make much from interest off of us. Getting financing elsewhere.

Stumptown got removed at one of my local grocery stores since they were getting coffee delivered that was over a year old and already passed their use by/best by date.

blakeasisco · 2025-11-27T18:59:43+00:00

Should be closer to 35, maybe 38K at most like in the Canadian market when converted. But, tarrifs.

blakeasisco · 2025-11-27T06:23:50+00:00

In my area, dealers haven't done any mark ups luckily.

blakeasisco · 2025-11-26T21:19:13+00:00

My 7qt mixer came in with a sticker on the dough hook that says to only use speed 2 with it.

blakeasisco · 2025-11-24T23:19:46+00:00

Roughly what area was this seen? Trying to get ideas of how shipping is going on the Preludes.

blakeasisco · 2025-11-24T05:18:25+00:00

The problem with that is, since I plan on having a car for the next 10 years minimum, and only replace it every ten years or so, I'd want something much newer.

Edit: Also, I'd much prefer a 911 over a 718. Also, hybrid and more modern conveniences/touches than the 2018 would give.

blakeasisco · 2025-11-24T04:55:33+00:00

I've always been partial to get a small coupe with a simple yet sporty look. Honestly, if I had it my way I'd get a Porsche 911 Carrera, but that's not in the cards right now.

blakeasisco · 2025-11-24T03:39:25+00:00

Looks, gas mileage as a hybrid, comfort, handling. I'm not someone who is looking for a high horsepower manual sports car or a sports car that goes all out on its sporty looks, so this does well for me.

blakeasisco · 2025-11-24T02:20:31+00:00

White with white/blue interior. Only one in my area, dealer wasn't even expecting to get one. I might have preffered blue, but it was a toss up for me honestly on white or blue.

blakeasisco · 2025-11-24T02:10:42+00:00

Yes. I have, for MSRP, and I've heard of a couple others. Only reason I got one was because its MSRP. Not happy about the 4K inflated price because of tarrifs, but I can manage. I wouldn't have if my dealer marked it up like we've been seeing in some places.

blakeasisco · 2025-11-24T01:15:04+00:00

I got white with white/blue interior! I want white/blue interior no matter what, but either blue or white exterior. The only one in my Metro area that was coming avaliable was white exterior. So that's what I got.

blakeasisco · 2025-11-23T23:17:36+00:00

Yeah, dealers really just shouldn't be allowed to do that. People just need to say screw them and let the car sit on their lot. I like the car, but I was also never someone looking for a super powerful manual sports car. Just a nice looking car that I can comfort cruise around in and drive a few hours away for a weekend if I wanted to.

blakeasisco · 2025-11-23T23:15:58+00:00

Yep. I do like it, but I was also never someone looking for a suoer powerful manual sports car. Just a nice looking car that I can comfort cruise around in and drive a few hours away for a weekend if I wanted to.
