  • Awesome, just simply awesome!!

    Dec 04 '05
    Pros: Honda reliability, very sharp looking car even 12 years later, fun ride
    Cons: hard to find...

    Summary: I bought my del Sol (my first car) from the dealership I work at after it came in as a trade-in. It is the S model, 5spd manual. I fell in love with this car from the start -- HIGHLY recommended!! First of all, it is a high quality, highly reliable ... read more

    Summary: I've owned my 1993 Del Sol S for about two weeks short of a year now. It is my third car, and my third Honda. I picked mine up for about $3000 with 114,000 miles on it owned by some old-timers who used it as a summer, 'cruisin' USA' car. I went from a ... read more

  • Not a bad little beater

    Oct 24 '06
    Pros: Gas mileage (38 mpg), easy to work on myself, comfortable interior, turns on a dime
    Cons: Roof leaks, igniter went bad (easy fix), Honda uses buttery-soft screws that strip easily

    Summary: I have had my '93 del Sol Si for almost 3 years now. I bought it with 115,000 miles on it, it is now at 147,000. The only real problems I have had with it have been cheap fixes: the driver's side outside door handle broke, I ordered a new one for ... read more

  • This car is too old to be this good!

    Aug 13 '05
    Pros: Looks great, strong engine, fun hardtop.
    Cons: One day I will have to let it go!

    Summary: I think I just lucked out. My first real car purchase, first loan for anything, was for a 1993 mint green Honda Del Sol Si. Of course, the car was already six years old by the time I could afford it, but you wouldn't have noticed. If you're ... read more

  • the best "affordable" 2 seater made...

    Feb 18 '05
    Pros: lightweight top, easy handling, zippy, very reliable, lots of leg room and trunk space
    Cons: its not a sports car; excessive body flex and roll, top leakage

    Summary: I purchased my del sol si new at the dealer in 1993, paid $14K for it. After 12 years, it not only still runs, it runs beautifully. My ownership experience with the del sol has absolutely lived up to my expectations, so much so that i have had much ... read more

  • Sports Car for the Ordinary Guy

    May 23 '03
    Pros: Sporty look head-turner, excellent gas mileage, open top
    Cons: None

    Summary: I have owned several vehicles including a BMW, Toyota Celica, Chevy Blazer truck, Iszuzu Impulse, and several others. But for me, this little firecracker is by far the most fun car I have ever owned. It is quick enough for me to zip in, out and about ... read more

  • Great Little 2nd Car!

    Apr 15 '03
    Pros: Outstanding Fuel Economy! 33mpg in town with Si! Super Comfy Seats! Removable top!
    Cons: Tough ingress/egress.

    Summary: Great as a 2nd car! Bought as a 3rd car but with gas prices became primary commuter. The SOHC VTEC engine is the easiest to live with, 33 mpg in town and 37 on the road with regular unleaded. Very little need for AC with power rear window. Stereo needs ... read more

  • Go go go cart

    Jan 23 '02
    Pros: Quick, Cute, Quality
    Cons: Targa top leaks in heavy rain, windows shudder when opening and closing.

    Summary: This car is so much fun to drive, and in the summertime it is really unbelievable. The targa top is aluminum and can be taken off and locked into the trunk in seconds. My Del Sol is 8 years old and I still get nice comments on it everywhere I drive. I ... read more

  • My other baby :)

    Pros: 2 seater, targa top, front wheel drive, faster then most other stock hondas
    Cons: Not a family car, but it IS a sports car, no kids under 8

    Summary: I purchased my 93 Honda del Sol Si in Florida this past Oct mainly because I have a 95 Chevy Camaro and I dont want to drive that in the snow. My Honda runs exceptionally well in the white fluffy stuff, just as long as it doesnt get too deep. The ... read more

  • My Cute Little Green Car!

    Dec 07 '00
    Pros: Great drive, aesthetic look
    Cons: blind spots

    Summary: The Del Sol attracted me because of its look and the trunk space. I was looking for a sports car and was trying to decide between the Del Sol and the Miata. One look at the trunk space and my mind was made up. I previously owned a Honda vehicle and ... read more

  • What a great little car!

    Nov 07 '00
    Pros: Great gas mileage, convertible, comfortable, fun to drive, on and on...
    Cons: Too small for a family.

    Summary: I purchased my '93 del Sol, used, in 1995. Five years later, I've yet to have it in the shop for more than my scheduled tune-up! It's comfortable, great on gas (approx. 28hwy), and fun to drive. I bought this car while I was single and ... read more
