'95 Del Sol VTEC

This car is spectacular. It gets fantastic gas mileage, and is the second most fun car I've driven (first is a Miata). The targa top offers the ease of a soft top with the benefits of a hard top. It has a very good amount of pick-up, but there is only so much a 1.6L engine can do. It definitely out-accelerates other little 4 cylinders though. It takes turns amazingly. The suspension is stiff, which may be a disadvantage to some, but I count that as a plus. I have only had it for about a month, so I can't say much for reliability, but from my research there is very little that goes wrong with these. If you get one, try your best to get the VTEC model, because it is worth every penny.

The first time I had saw my car on the lot, I had to stop. A month later I was buying it with my grant money for college. I have to drive about 80 miles a day to go to college, so I needed a car with great mpg. I also didn't want to be a dork at school, so I needed something fun and impressive. My del sol is the absolute best car I've ever driven. She really picks up and goes, while keeping my wallet happy when it comes to gas. I get stopped all the time by people who want to buy her. I even had a cop pull me over to ask about it! I have yet to see a single flaw in this car, and even though I'm young, I will never ever sell it!

Just hit 200K asked wife about a new car, Daggers flew. SO time for a new timing belt, going to have seats upgraded and a paint job. Nobody builds a car like Honda 200k still runs like new uses no oil and 30mpg on premium of course. Have never replaced anything, except tires Batteries and belts. A 5 speed standard shift. I know gramps drives easy. Wrong! WE live in TX speed limit 70 here 80 mph West TX. If your not running 90 your in the way. THis is one fun car and what can I say 200k and we are keeping it. Is it a soft riding blimpmobile. Nope It is a fun little roadster; Can you travel in it? with a good friend and hard bottom yes WE have done 900 mile trips in one day;

This is my 3rd Del Sol and I keep coming back to it. It performs and handles excellently. Gets great gas mileage for a performance car. If you really don't like the highways speeds. Invest in swapping an Integra LS or GSR 5th gear.
Engine sings a happy song!

Compare BMW Z3 & Miata. Crawl inside a del Sol [CRX targa], it has more room, truly reclining seat, more storage, built-in roll bar, & a safer permanent top. Trunk holds volumes. Love the power back window. At Interstate speeds the del Sol is far more capable than a Miata. Nearly 100K & still on the original brakes, clutch, etc. Recommended maintenance, tires, batteries, & fluids only expense. If Life is a series of compromises, then the del Sol hasn't heard: great handling & performance, along with great economy & practicality. Drive the SI SOHC-VTEC or DOHC-VTEC & feel the punch at 3K, 4K, & 5K RPMs as cam, 4 valves, & variable valve timing kick in respectively. Redline is over 7K RPMs.

This car currently has 140,000 driven miles and an additional 60,000 towed miles behind my motorhome. Still drives like new with great perfomance. The engine requires high RPM for acceleration but has lasted incredibly.

72,000 trouble-free miles. I can't imagine how much I've saved on repairs. This car has been 100% reliable. It's one of the few Honda models in the USA that's made in Japan. Some say this car is impractical, but I disagree. It has a very large trunk for a small car. Legroom and headroom are the best of any small car I could find. I'm 6'2" and this car is very comfortable. Outstanding maneuverability and small turning radius.

My Del Sol VTEC has been the best car I've ever owned. It responds willingly to any request for performance, rides reasonably well for a sports car, and has unique and attractive styling. Talk about a pocket rocket! It kills me to sell mine, but we've got a baby coming...

Great little car, my second, no major problems with either. Great little engine just pulls all the way to the incredibly high redline (8250) Fun to drive, easy to maintain. Moderate body flex, but can be remedied by re- enforcing the chasis. Targa top is great, seals need to be lubed about once every 2 months to prevent squeaking, but this is only a 5 minute job.
Car of the year!

I picked up my del Sol VTEC a year or so ago and have loved every bit of it. I was lucky to find the top model with the DOHC 160 HP engine, and still get 30+ MPG highway and about the same in city. The acceleration is great, ride is smooth and driving with the targa top off is possibly the most fun next to a real convertible, it's a blast cruising around in, even with close to 180K miles! Aftermarket upgrade are easily and readily available for it still which is great. Overall, if you have the opportunity to find a del Sol and drive it, it would be well worth it at any age.

So, at 120K, I was worried, when will this 'dream' end. Did homework and considered a TDI VW. Hmmm, not so good. Kept it and put up with 38 - 40 mpg. THEN - - - manifold blew out. Know what, it was still covered under warranty - - extended to 12 years! Give me a break. Now, hitting 180K, the thing still continues to drive. Love to get to hear if anyone's has died yet. THEN clutch went! Oh-oh, $2.00 for hydraulic clutch fluid. Now, at 190K, it still goes. GO HONDA! To bad GM and Ford have not learned a lessen, why support cars that aren't built to last like this? GREAT CAR.

First let me say, I love this car. This is the only 2 seat convertible I could imagine having as a primary car. The performance is above average, especially for a 1.5L engine. I especially like that it's a hard top, rather than a soft top. It makes me feel a little safer having part of the frame behind me when it's off, takes up less storage space that you don't lose when it's up and is better in the winter. As soon as I got it, I replaced the wheels and the stereo, but those were my only real complaints from the inprovements section below and were easily replaceable. I can't understand why Honda stopped making it.

This is a great car. I have driven the "heck" out of it (340,000 so far) and still get over 40 mpg highway. Have no complaints about its performance even though it's not the VTEC version. I'm actually glad I went with the Si. The trunk space is amazing and I have been able to carry things most people would never imagine a car this small could handle. I laugh at the commercials for new "economy" cars that brag 35 mpg. This "old" car beats all except some Hybrids and even those can't claim much better. Now the car is old, with a lot of miles on it, but I really can't justify trading it in on anything new. I'd be trading down!

Just bought my 95 del so dohc v-tec. Can't stand the high revs on highway speed. Feels like it needs a 6th gear. Any ideas how I can adjust to lower rpm, through computer? Will tranny change help? Need better gas mileage like my standard 95 civic coupe. Going from close to 50 mpg down to 30 mpg on del so. Don't need the extra power. I drive about 250 miles a day, so the mileage does count. Just trying to increase mileage if I can.

This is a good fun to drive in the city car. (I don't know that I'd suggest 10 hour driving days in it though) If you keep the tach below 5000 rpm it's a fairly high mileage normal sort of Honda but if you want a performance, just hold down the pedal and wait for 8000+... becomes a whole different car at that point! All I've done since I owned it (bought used) is change the oil regularly and had the timing belt/water pump done once. And like a lot of small Hondas, if you run it on empty long enough you can get about $12 worth of gasoline in it, which seems to last nearly forever if you don't spend all you time between 5000-8000 rpm.
The best car

My '95 V-Tech Del Sol was the best car I've ever owned! I traveled all around North America in it without a single problem. Through the Utah desert in summer and the Rocky Mountains in winter! I've never had it in the mechanics shop and trusted its mechanical quality 150%! It was recently stolen and stripped, and I know I will NEVER get back what it is worth or find anything even comparable...not even close!

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.

I've used my Del Sol as a commuter car for several years now. Fun to drive and extremely reliable, only one problem (AC compressor)after 110k miles. Excellent fuel economy. Targa top much preferable to convertable. Plenty of trunk space even when targa top is in trunk. Comfortable interior, much more roomy than an S2000.

I put around 40,000 miles a year commuting in my car. It gets excellent gas mileage (I have been able to get 40mpg out of it), yet with the VTEC it has a little pep as well. Very reliable.

Why oh why did Honda stop making these??? I've had mine for nearly 10 years, and I still get 42 mpg on the highway. Nothing compares for style, room, economy, reliability and fun! Nothing. But it's so hard to find one with low mileage now. Honda, please, please bring them back!

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.

Great acceleration. Great handling, beaten by a Chevy Typhoon only. Great fun to drive, introduced me to "open air motoring." Will never drive a closed top automobile EVER again. Great automobile from which to learn the limits of cornering in front wheel drive vehicles. Very sorry I gave it to my daughter when it turned 10 and had only 101,000 on the odometer. Imagine, she turned around and traded it in on an automatic transmission Corolla (she didn't like the manual transmission).

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)

Compared to the new for 96 BMW Z3 and the Mazda Miata the Honda del Sol had more interior space and comfort for $5000 to $10000 less!So I bought it. It is my fourth Honda product since 1982.I have driven cross country for 10 hour stretches, but 3-4 hours best. Disappointments are the mileage [no better than 30 mpg] and the small disc brakes ... and yet, at 75K I still have 50% left, go figure.

For certain, this is not a powerful 2 seater roadster like Z3 or Boxter, but Del Sol has its acoustic sense. If you don't want to spend too much money for 2 seater coup, and you plan to buy 2 seater as your first car, not as the second one, Del Sol is definitely what you're looking for. Especially in the big crowded cities, like New York and San Francisco, Del Sol lets you find a way in traffic jams, as well as a parking spot. Del Sol is not really a 2 seater coup to show off, unless you modify it, but it certainly saves your money, time, gas, yet it is still fun to drive.

My dad & I purchased a 95' Del Sol from a private party. It had 85xxx miles when we bought it about a month ago. We have already put on 1,500 miles. (My dad goes up to 100 miles a day.) He loves it. No complants and it drives like a top! Great gas. And so what if the cup holders stink, we went to Auto Zone & purchased a cup holder that goes right through the seats & works great. Many Stories behind the Honda Del Sol & a name change! Yes, in 1995 Honda dropped the 'civic' part in the title of the Del Sol. All we need is a timing belt (in about 4k) & new front & rear brakes (they have 30% left in front.) Great car for teens like me & very reliable.

I bought this car last year with 70000 miles and I am yet to have a problem with it. Drives excellent for a 1.6L. I you don't know how to drive it as a manumatic read the manual. The car needs more attention change transmission fluid every 15000 miles (2.9 quarts easier than oil.) Dramatic increase in performance. Use no other spark plug than NGK. Car Won't Stop.

It's a great car to drive. I get 400 Miles to the tank! If you get the maintenance done it'll last well over 200,000 miles. It sits low to the ground but it's a lot of fun to drive. Take the top off and take it for ride.

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.

Don't own it any more, but overall a very fun car to drive. Interior space is limited to two seats, but there are lots of storage spots and the truck is surprisingly large for a car of this size. Sporty looks and with some minor modifications this car handles like its on rails. Not very fast straight line. Didn't have any issues with car until around 115,000 when I got rid of it. 2nd gear or the synchro was gone and it would not shift in or out of 2nd, no other issues and this was likely due to driving the car hard. Overall fun, reliable car.

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.

I went 40+ years between "roadsters" & this is wayyyy better than the old English/Italian cars. A little hard to get into, but much more leg/head room than any modern convert I tried. Handles amazing; quick, but always feels like there should be 1 more gear. Unbelievably tight for 13 years & 160K miles. It rains a lot where I live so you better be sure the windows are up, but it doesn't leak when they are. Much less wind turbulence with top off & windows down than any convert I've ever been in. Can't wait for next summer!! My wife loves it despite low entry & she's >60 too.

I have had the car 22 years, only summer driven but for 1 day. My winter beater was in the shop for a new water pump and had to drive the Del Sol in the snow to work. Not ideal. The weight ratio is very even front to back with full tank of gas. The ratio is great in the corners but not good keeping the front driving wheels on the pavement in 3 inches of snow. The only thing I have had replaced after 115k miles is a oxygen sensor and a clutch (due to lack of use while in storage 6 months of the year). Dumped the original tape player back in 2001. Made it 112k miles on original brake pads with miles to spare (seriously!). The rotors are still good. Upgraded to ceramic pads last year. Started on her 3rd set of tires last summer. Original exhaust. She is certainly no Porsche, but still turns and handles very well, especially with 1/3 tank of gas in it. Yes it maters. A very short throw on the 5 speed manual. 1994s had leak issues with targa top, but never had an issue with this on my 1995. Also, the car has big blind spots due to roll bar design. The A/C is like a freezer and heater is like an oven due to the small space in the cabin as the A/C/heat is meant for a larger internal volume Civic. If you are having extra fun at 90+ mph on a hot day with top off or unique back window down, recommend running the heater to help the engine stay cool. At 100+ mph the car gets very light in the front and steering can be hazardous. She never got it over 110 mphor the car would become short lived P38 Lightning at take off with 4 wheels. I always wonder what the car would have been like with rear wheel drive. Del Sol beats the Miata in trunk and internal space. Also the roll over bar is a huge safety advantage and keeps the car stiff without a regular roof for structural support. I think the Honda 2000 is a better handling car, but lack of a hard top is not ideal for upper mid-west spring and fall driving. My wife will have to pry my dying hands off the car to get rid of it (or maybe double the blue book if I do up grade to an unreliable Porsche or a Acura NSX). I have owned a CRX, Civic, CRV, Accord, over the years. Can any other manufacturer build a car this reliable after 22 years? Honda does not will style points like European sports cars, but if they have oil in the engine, they will get you to your destination and have some fun on the journey.

I've always been fascinated with 2 seater cars. 1st car 84 Fiero=looked nice but ran like crap, 2nd car 86 MR2= reliable but cramped, 3rd car 89 Buick Riatta=nice, lots of gadgets like touch screen controls but all the gadgets broke and needed engine replaced! So in 1997 I bought a used 95 Del Sol SI. I fell in love. Being 6'3" it was the first 2 seater I truly fit into. And it has been the most reliable car Ive owned. Over 150k miles on the SAME CLUTCH! Now at 225k miles it still gets great gas mileage and drives straight and fast. Luckily no leaks or squeaks in the targa top (use HONDA spray lube!). BUY ONE!

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.

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!

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.
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.
Price for a premium 1st. used car

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.
Best vehicle I've ever had

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!
