The best car I've ever owned.

I've had lots of cars, (I drive a '98 Nissan 200SX SE daily now; the Honda's in "storage" in the garage), but this one's the funnest, reliable, most awesome car in all respects. The interior's ergonomics is what made me fall in love with her, but it's classic exterior beauty is just as good. My only disappointment is power: sure, it's "zippy", but they all should've been equipped with the B-16(Vtec) motor, anyway.

This is the most reliable car i've ever had.It gets great gas mileage.i've put over 40,000mi on this car in the last 1 1/2 years and have never had a single problem with it. It's fun to drive and easy to maintain. It's also pretty decent in the snow...who would have thought? I would definately recommend buying one.

I have been continually impressed with my gas mileage, handling and the overall reliability. I am also very happy that the value has remained virtually the same as the purchase price. Maintenance has also been at a minimal cost. Honda will always be my brand of choice after this awesome experience!

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!
