I just bought this 1997 Honda del Sol a few days ago. So far, I am enjoying driving it. The seats are a little narrow, and are not adjustable in that regard (no lumbar adjustments). I am somewhat disappointed at the cup holders. Also, the dome light doesn't really light up much of anything, making th einterior very dark, even with the dome light on. There are no lights around the floor area either. Locking the doors is kind of a hassle. You have to hold the inside release latch open and then lock the drivers door, otherwise you have to use the key from the outside to lock it. Gas mileage is 30+, even while I'm driving it like a race car!

Great little fun car. Love the easy to remove and store targa top. Even when stored I could still fit a couple sets of golf clubs an small cooler! Only little 2-seater I've found that can do that! Great visibility, wonderful seats and almost no wind with the top off and windows up.

What a fun vehicle to drive. I bought my little red toy with 55,000 miles on it. This past summer my wife and I put 2,000 miles on it while on a ten day vacation and enjoyed every minute of it. Gas mileage is super and the switch from open air convertible to hardtop is a breeze. Great fun vehicle to have for a couple of 50 year olds. They are getting harder and harder to find.

After taking a used '95 del Sol for a test drive and falling in love with it, I decided to buy one new from the local dealership. I drove other two-seaters (like the Mazda Miata) and found the del Sol much more roomier and it performs better. My actual gas mileage was over 30 mpg and I do a lot of city driving. The top stores easily in the trunk without taking up any trunk space and because it's a hard top, it has been great for winter driving as well.

A '93 Del Sol is my daily driver. I beat the HELL out of this car. I drive it like I stole it, take turns like a maniac, and perform the bare minimum for maintenance. In the last 80K miles the only thing to break was the distributor cap. At 190K miles the car is still on its original clutch. This is unheard-of. The car keeps going and going, and absolutely will not die, sort of like that dude in that movie. Girls think it's "cute," which is okay I guess. It also goes for about a year on one tank of gas. Okay maybe not a year, but you get the point. It's ridiculously reliable and pretty fun to drive. Buy one.
