It moves... It grooves

This has to be the best fun car I have ever owned. In the 9 years I've owned it, I have put on over 100K miles commuting to work, driving around Colorado for work (it's GREAT in the mountains on winding roads) and driving to and from destinations near and far across the country. It is great fun to drive and gets wonderful gas mileage. The VTEC engine gives it great pep - ever heard the term "pocket rocket?" Since I am mostly retired, I drive the wife's Prius mostly to get around town - even better mileage. But I wouldn't trade the del Sol for anything. Putting the roof down, "Oldies" on the radio and heading up into the mountains... nothing can be better!

The Honda del Sol is unlike any other Honda you will drive, you would be hard pressed to improve on this car's design. It is a very easy car to drive, with comfortable seats (even for long drives) and lots of interior room. Honda got a lot of things right in this model. Exceptional handling (0.92 g Left and Right), great acceleration (0- 60 in 7.2) and comfort. Reliability is excellent, the only thing I've has to do in the 5+ years I purchased mine is regular maintenance. Front wheel drive is great for wet or slippery conditions. I live in Seattle and drive at Highway speeds daily in the rain, ice and snow. Never had any problems.

A Blast!!!

I've had this car since I bought it new. It has over 200,000 miles and is still going strong. Cockpit wraps itself around you...you feel one with the car. I've replaced the clutch, various parts of the exhaust system and wheel bearings. Not bad for 200,000 plus. This car truly is a blast to drive! Plenty of torque, enabling you to zip in and out of trouble with equal alacrity.

I bought my 95 VTEC to replace my old Altima which had been squished between two SUVs, never before has an accident been such a good thing for me. This little car still turns heads since there are so few still out there, I'm always getting questions about it. The performance of the DOHC VTEC trim level is GREAT, especially for such a tiny motor. The VTEC's upgraded suspension makes it nimble in corners and the high- winding engine makes highways a delight. My only gripes would be the cup holder placement and the rubber seal around the rear wheel wells that traps water and causes the body to rust (can be removed by hand in about 10 seconds). I can safely say that I will NEVER sell mine.

OVERALL I loved this car. I owned one for over seven years. I have driven in six different states and across the country into Canada. I have NEVER had a major issue with it. This would be a FANTASTIC second car. PROS: * This is a FUN car. * Nice engine, good pick-up. * Easy to park. * Decent handling even in icy weather. CONS: * Roof gets squeeky after awhile. * Limited space (although more than you think)
