Used 1993 Honda Civic del Sol Consumer Reviews
terrible car
I bought my 93 del Sol with 60,000 miles on it.I'm up to 130000 and i've replaced the cooling system 3 times, the thing died on me at a gas station and that was 550 for a new distributor.This car has left me stranded on the side of the road more times than i care to say I have done all scheduled maintainence.I loved it so much when i first bought it I swore i would never ever get rid of it.Im over that.The roof rattles terribly.It leaks. The glove box is pointless.I think the motor on the power window is on it's way out.It has this new rattle when i accelerate up hills, so something else is about to fall apart on it.
rare sol
Honda tends to do things right even on my first year del sol S ['93]. However they really missed the market when they only offered things like cruise, power mirrors, remote trunk release, etc on the SI's. I owned a '93 four door civic which had all the creature comforts that the del sol lacks. The del sol is fabulous but not equipped to be a day tripper. Seats come up short for any extended drives. Maybe that is why I only have 64K on the odometer. I really miss not having a cruise control; anyone out there ever do a retrofit?

Good Starter Car
I've had my Sol for almost 3 years. I got rear ended by a van pretty hard. It didn't do a lot of damage, my bumper just got pushed in a little bit and paint got scraped off. Overall my car has been reliable until the hot summer heat. My car wouldn't start in hot weather. I would have to wait til the car cools down. I have done many mods on my car, and really enjoy driving around though. Good thing the weathers starting to cool down a bit :D
i need another sol!
the best car ive ever owned. so much fun to drive, and very sharp looking with a fresh coat of wax. ive had no problems with the car, even with an excess of 155k miles. it has been so reliable, i know it will get me anywhere. however, it is very small, and dangerous when encountering careless drivers.
My '93 Honda Civic Del Sol
I love this car. I'm trying to get it set up for track racing, but me being 17 and in high school make it hard for me to work on it and only a very small budget. but one day you will see it somewhere.
