Used 1996 Honda Civic del Sol Consumer Reviews
Love my del Sol
I have owned my del Sol for 3 years and wouldn't trade it for anything. It handles well on most road conditions, the gas mileage is great and best of all it is fun to drive. If you're thinking about a del Sol, go the extra mile and get the VTECH model.
Do I have to get rid of it?
I love this car. When I purchased it, it was 2 years old, and a gift to myself. I can't imagine another convertible getting through 6 KC Mo winters so easily. I'm a large-framed man, and this car fits me like a glove. People are amazed when they see me getting into or our of it. It's very fast, response is immediate, and with the top down, and some added audio- power, it's a great day.

This car has been reliable and a blast to own. Even with high miles it runs like new with awesome MPG! This car was intelligently designed with huge trunk space. Tons of room in the trunk even with the roof in it! I wish Honda would return this car to production. Can't say enough about it.
Unbelievably Reliable - and Fun Too!
In nearly 4 years of over 20K/yr driving I've had NO repair issues - and I bought it with 40K. This car has exceeded even my high expectations from my last Honda experience (an Accord with over 250K before it was stolen). Be sure you want a 2 seater and you'll have plenty of leg and trunk room. This car has enough power for fun and comfort but isn't the gutsy speedster found in some other small sport cars. If you find the right price it would be hard to go wrong with the Del Sol!
wish i still had it
i bought this car in the summer of 03 and fell in love with it. i previously had a civic dx and it couldnt compare to the sol's performance and fun factor. im 5'7 so i fit with room to spare, my 6'0+ friends never had an issue either. a fun brisk DOHC that you could feel kick in when you hit 5000 rpm. unique too, not your everyday civic, but just as reliable and inexpencive to maintain. MPG cant be beat by anything in its class. great as a pirmary car or easy to maintain weekend warrior i lost it in december when it and a truck hit. after looking around, i decided on getting another, but an si, there were no VTEC's for sale, cant blame them, wonderful car.
