Used 1996 Honda Civic del Sol Consumer Reviews
more fun than a Ferrari and more reliable
It has a small trunk when the targa roof is stored but its bulletproof reliability and light weight conbined with the 160 hp VTEC engine makes for an exhilarating ride (and ownership) especially with a short shifter and after-market clutch!

1995 Honda del Sol
Great pick up and maneuverability in traffic. Low, low maintenance. Gas mileage is fantastic! Really hugs the road well. Love this car! Fun to drive!!!
Beware of design flaws
The Del Sol not once, but twice, sucked in a plastic bag or newspaper through its front intake which overheated the engine to the point of the block cracking. I loved my Del Sol, but if you buy these cars, you'll have to watch out for this serious design flaw the car has. If I were to purchase another, I would specifically be making alterations to avoid this catastrophe. Tell me you like this car after you have it overheating crossing the George Washington Bridge, or in tears, throw down $3k on a rebuild, only to watch the rebuild die the same way in less than a year.
