Pros: good pickup, good handling, removable hardtop and power rear window
Cons: stigma of not being a pure sports car, not a pure sports car
The Bottom Line: My first two seater, what a pleasure. I plan to own many more in my lifetime, but this little car is a true gem.
I bought my '95 del Sol SI new in early 1996. Since they stopped production on them in 1996? the only way to get one now is to buy it used. There were three different models produced, the S, the SI, and the Vtec. The S is pretty weak - if you can't ...

Pros: Troublefree. Leg and head Room. Large trunk. Safe seats.
Cons: Body flex with roof off. Road noise.
The Bottom Line: If it fits your needs, buy it and enjoy it. A great, reliable choice for two-seat driving.
I bought my 95 del Sol SI brand new off the dealer's floor in 1995.
Main reasons I bought the car: I needed a short vehicle but one with lots of leg and headroom (I'm 6'2"). delSol fit the bill exactly. Essentially, Honda took a 4-seat...

Pros: Hardtop/convertible hybrid,
Great gas mileage,
Turns heads on street
Cons: Softer handling than older CRX,
Sparse storage space
The Bottom Line: It's simply the best mix of fun, economy, and performance rolled in to a single vehicle. Great for daily commuting, and stellar with the top off on a sunny day.
I owned a 1989 CRX Si for six years, and sold it with 110K miles for $2,700. As the body started to decay from the Chicago winters, I decided it was time for a replacement. I wanted my next "daily driver" to deliver many of the same things that made me...

Pros: Removable top, great gas mileage.
Cons: Breaks a little soft, a little noisy.
The Bottom Line: You should get it becuase you'll regret it if you dont.
This is a must have. I mean come on, who doesnt want a car where you can take the removable top off, and let the wind run through your hair. I have to admit, i look pretty sexy in this car. And its going to last me for a long time. Its 9 years old right ...

Pros: Sporty, unique, quick, sharp, reliable
Cons: Seals are troublesome, two seats only
The Bottom Line: I absolutely recommend this car for any young adult looking to get into import cars - it's cheap and troublefree.
I have owned three Honda Civic del Sols in my lifetime, and I recommend them highly to young adults looking for a sporty, yet unique car. The Honda Civic del Sol is "The Civic of the Sun" in Spanish, and comes with a targa top that is removable and stows ...

Pros: Comfortibility, Great Handling, Surprising amounts of room
Cons: Is a bit cramped at first
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a fun, sporty coupe that easily converts to a convertible - then this car is for you!
I purchased my 1995 del sol SI in June and since then it's been through some heavy modifications. I started with a new paint job, etc. Nowadays, it's one pretty sweet ride. Due to Honda discontinuing the del sol in 1996, I purchased the car used from...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Nice look, Honda reliability, great performances, handling, manual gearbox
Cons: Bad visibility, expensive, small trunk, brake not much powerful, ventilation inside
The Bottom Line: As long as you go in a straight line without braking or turning, this car is paradise. Sporty car? Nooyeaah... Accelerates good, comfort of a sedan...
In other countries, the Del Sol is known as the CRX 3. After all, what is different? A Del Sol is a 2 seater car, sport car, from Honda, like the CRX.
Let's talk engine: that'a 1.6 liter 4 cylindre in row, giving the wheels an amazing 160 hp!...

I bought my 1995 Honda Del Sol brand new for my birthday 5 years ago. I owned a Honda before then, but wanted something more sporty. It's paid for now, and I'm not planning on trading it in anytime soon. I really love my car in warm weather when I can...

Pros: Smooth ride and LARGE trunk compared to Miata. Super reliability! Lots of leg room.
Cons: Problems with hydroplaning from light weight. Bad blind spots.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a sports car without the rough sports car ride. It's a very sound car with low maintenance. It's a HONDA!
I bought my '95 Del Sol new and have owned it now for over 6 years. I would purchase this car all over again. It is very reliable and has never given me any trouble. I have 97,000 miles on it now and the only repairs I've done are scheduled maintenance....

Pros: Sporty, compact, feisty, peppy.
Cons: are there any?
The Bottom Line: Great car fun to drive.
After owning a convertible before buying this car, I cringed at the thought of giving up the removable top in my car. Then I thought about the cold winters and shiverred. This car is wonderful, its small, definately not a family car. Although, with...

Recommended: Yes
Pros: handling, sporty looks
Cons: automatic trans. is a little lacking
The rooftop can squeak when driving down bumpy roads, and because I have an automatic version S, (single overhead cam) the automatic shifting is hard and it doesn't have a lot of pickup and go. I also am disappointed with the lower MPG - I get an average of 30 in the city, but I've gotten as high as 37 on the highway road trip to california. I would definately recommend the car though it is sporty and has a HUGE trunk for the size of the car that can haul a lot more than you realize at first.
