Seven Alternatives Offer More Cargo Space Than the Mazda MX-5

Prelude's Sharp Handling Can't Make Up for Slow 0-60 Against Civic Hybrid

Car and Driver tests of the 2026 Honda Prelude show a 0–60 of 6.5 seconds and a 15.3-second quarter mile at 90 mph, slightly slower than the Civic Hybrid’s 0–60 in 6.2 seconds and 14.9 seconds. Despite similar powertrains (200 hp, 232 lb-ft) and a lighter Civic, the Prelude’s S+ Shift adds pauses that push 0–60 to 7.3 seconds unless turned off.
