    Its just your preference I have driven both of these cars and in my opinion it was fun and at the same time easier to drive a mr2 than a prelude. The MR2 I drove was a newer model.

    The Prelude would make a better daily driver, but the MR2 is a better sports car.

    Because the MR2 is a performance car, and the Prelude is not.
    Check on a 240sx, and a porsche 944.

    "MONEY not an issue!!!!!" wow

    A good used '95 300ZX twin turbo is the best bet for fun, style, upgrade potential, reliability, etc etc etc

    And if money really isn't an issue may i suggest a VW Phaeton!!!

    If insurance is an issue maybe consider a non turbo MR2?
