Boosted Bseires said it perfect!! No clutch, no burnouts, no high as launches bouncing off redline...then no fun!! :P
I have a friend with one of those tiptronic bullshits and he already cracked his tranny :-X ...... sucks huh!

sucks to have a car that you have to drop the clutch to burnoff in

Triptronic sucks!!!
I've never driven a prelude with this but my girlfriend somehow got me to buy and auto IS 300 with the same non-sense and it sucks. I rather whip the crap out of my stick civic any day. No clutch=borring. I mean, the freaking thing handles like a dream and the motor has plenty of power, but I can't put it all down 'cause there is a torque converter robbing me. If you can't rip-out with this thing then where is the fun?

If you just want a ride to cruise around with and relanx and have fun with ya gurl buy it.
If you got more in mind....don't.

the car overall is still a honda and is nice luxurious, semi sport and reliable. If ur asking how good the car is to a performance enthusiasts of our modern age. Or a HMt guy, then its garbage, autos are for weenies and u look really dumb when u try and race with one. The step tronic doesnt give you any extra power really it jus gives the fun illusion of a stick, only ferrari has perfected the steptronic to be a faster then a stick, or so they claim, anyways that thing is as slow as a stock v6 probe, if u want to be compared to that, thats pretty damn embarassing, they have no off the line pick up and for having 200hp u would think theyd get going on the freeway... but they dont, theyre a laughing joke
