    • Absolutely love my del sol

      By Shawn on Saturday, January 26, 2019

      5.0
      So I recently did something crazy. I traded my honda prelude for a honda del sol. At first I was constantly asking myself why but when I really started getting to know the del sol on a more personal level ;) I started to like it more and more. The main reason I even made the trade was because of the Targa top. I mean come on who wouldn't want one, I get 6 months of good weather and 6 months of bad weather so I didn't think it was crazy to have one. The only downfall to that part of the car is the body flexing when the top is off.. there's also some weak spots when it comes to the body rusting. For some reason they like to rust on the rockers right after the door. And the door jams themselves actually rust and crack quite often. The body to me was not designed to be in the cold what so ever but it is civic powered and civics love the snow lol. It does good in the snow with some decent tires as long as there's not any big chunks of ice sitting in the middle of the road because the car does sit quite low. Now the motor is a d15b7 and I couldn't be happier with it. I've had it for for about 3 weeks now I think and I'm still running on the tank of gas i got it with lol. 15 bucks will fill it up and you'll get up to 400 miles per tank. D series are known for 2 things... reliability and slowness. But combined with the weight of the del sol and its not that bad. I think it weighs about 2400 pounds unless you have the automatic transtop which is doubtful. I love the way the car feels and handles, it's pretty comfy to sit in. Everything is in arms reach. I also love the simplicity of it. And the modding community surrounding it, mist civic parts are interchangeable with the del sol which makes it awesome for people who like to build their cars. I'll prob keep mine stock for a while but we will see.…

    • Great little hardtop convertible

      I have had this car for five or six years now and I haven't had to do any major repairs on it. I do the required maintenance when it is due and store it in the winter, so there isn't any body rust either. I love this little car.…

    • I love my del sol

      Ive had my 1997 red del sol for 16 years. It has been extremely reliable and gets 41 mpg on the highway, 36 in the city. I am only the second owner. I bought it with 45k miles still under warranty and have put about 158k miles on it. With 203k miles, Ive needed to do two timing belt replacements, brakes, and all the standard stuff, but the car has always started and does great in the snow. Odd things break over the years, like the power window assembly on the drivers side. I like the fact that it does not have power steering, because my arms stay toned just from driving. Recently, the car was stolen, and the thief altered it and dinged it up a bit, unfortunately. But it still runs perfectly. Its worth it to spend 1000 for repairs, because I anticipate putting another 100k miles on it. With extremely low car insurance, great gas mileage, and reliability, I just cant beat this car. Plus it looks great and is fun to drive in summer. I get tons of compliments on it. The paint had begun to oxidize so I had it repainted a few years back - same color, red. Right afterward, I got two speeding tickets. That might be one down side - it sticks out like a sore thumb. Overall, I love this car and plan to run it into the ground.…
