I was once a regular visitor to Lowell, but have only been maybe 2-3 times in the past 4ish years. I’m considering going to downtown soon but I own a brand new Honda and I’m wondering how much I need to worry about my car/wheels/vandalism? I’d most likely try and park on one of the main streets like Market or Merrimack. I’ve just heard a lot of stories of more car theft/wheel theft in Lowell the past few years, but for all I really know this was one incident that has been told a hundred times making it seem worse. Locals what’s your consensus?

So I was one of the folks who as soon as they announced it I was dead set on it being my next car. Then the specs got announced and I was flabbergasted. I’ve trashed it as a pointless car made for no one.
However….Im now thinking I might get one as it kinda does fit a weird place I find myself in torn between a Civic Hybrid or a Civic Si.
Now I’m thinking maybe the Prelude fits a niche between the two nicely (price difference aside)?
Am I stupid, crazy, both?

Update: thanks to everyone for the comments and advice!

I have driven one! Yes the ride is very impressive I’d say it overall felt much better than the Si, which is a great car so I’m not trashing the Si just that the Prelude felt overall a bit more responsive, a bit more road feel while also not being a harsh awful ride on bad roads. Small things like that.
Currently I think I’m going to be a slight bit impractical and get the Prelude. I’m close on numbers just trying to get the final final OTD numbers. I’ll update more when it’s all real.

Update 2: just signed OTD AT $39,300 MSRP with some add ons was $43,205 Pretty happy with this.

Edit to my last update: I was off on MSRP with options it was $44,400
