The looks of this car are superb. When I saw this car at the dealership I knew I had to have it. It drives like a dream even in the winter time which I have to say I was suprised at. It is very upgradable which I am presently doing. I have already added on an intake, exhust, and new rims and tires. I am presently looking to lower it and add a new hood and turbocharger.

It does sqeak a little bit but not that bad. The only bad thing I would have to say if you are looking to get one is that damn blind spot. But you get used to it after awhile.

I have loved every min. that I am in my car I have upgraded the sound system to include a CD player and two 12's by Rockford in the back with a nice Rockford amp. I did have to get a custom box for the subs but it sounds awsome!! The drive is one of the best I have ever felt in driving a car. It handles like a dream and can corner at a pretty high rate of speed. (Believe me I know). So if you want a great little Sports car get a Del Sol. My only regret is not getting a Vtec.

It does compare to a Miada. It also looks like an old Pontiac Fiero.

my RED '95 del SOL SI 5 speed with black interior is for SALE. it has 108k miles on it. i replaced the timing belt at 90k miles (preventative) and it's getting a full tune-up (new spark plugs and air filter) on 3/17/01 (preventative, again). I also put new front tires on it fall of 2000. I have kept the car garage stored every winter from november to mid march. oil has been changed every 3500 miles or so. there have been no custom modifications, it's factory original. I can provide a CARFAX report to prove its history and the fact that I'm the original owner. the car has never had a maintenance issue.

you can read the reviews below to get a sense of what other people think of the car. it has a 125 hp engine with 119 ft lbs of torque and is quite light. it accelerates well and handles corners nicely. i've been able to remove the top while stopped at a traffic light and be buckled in my seat before the light changed green. the trunk is surprisingly large. i can fit two sets of golf clubs in the trunk with the top stored. i've also fit my oversized luggage and laptop into the trunk on a trip to the airport. the back window goes down at the touch of a button for a great drive on a warm and sunny day. it has the factory original stereo/cassette player - i have a portable CD walkman that i plug in via a car adaptor and it sounds great, plenty loud to annoy fellow drivers if that's what you want.

something others have missed in their praise are the seats and the center console - they combine to give you an armchair feel. the seats are VERY well designed, they really hold you in place when you take a tight corner - and they're very comfortable. the center console is perfect. when you rest your arm on the center console the gearshift knob will be positioned directly in your hand. this adds tremendously to the driving experience. also, the gearbox has a very short and concise throw - if you like to DRIVE, you'll know what i mean.

there are storage bins in back of the seats to hold things like cds, cd players, books, etc. from the exterior it's just a unique looking car.

i'm asking $8500 and you may contact me via email if you'd like to take a look at it.

it does squeak. tight suspensions lead to squeaks and rattles over time. the cupholders are inconvenient to get to. the sun visors are tiny. if you're over 6' tall, you may have some trouble getting in and out. once your in though, it has plenty of leg room.

it's a great car, very reliable, i get about 32 mpg on the 5 speed. also, the insurance rate on the car is more liveable than other 2 seaters - a factor to consider if you're under 24.

it's compared against older model miatas. the del sol is roomier and has much more trunk space, it also rides much smoother - making it more practical. i'm not going to lie, the miata WILL outperform the del Sol if neither car has been modified.

I love just about everything. The removable hard top is perfect for the sunny Florida climate and locks easily into a rack in the trunk. This car just looks good. But above all, I have to recommend this car for its sheer reliability. I haven't had to do anything to this car in the 6 months I've owned it except change the oil, etc. It has a surprising amount of trunk and interior room (much more than a Miata). Even my 6'5" friend has enough leg & head room. The factory sound system isn't too bad either. Car handles well, very agile, makes very sharp turns.

Not many weaknesses at all. My main complaint is that this car has an abnormally large blind spot (due to the body shape and headrests). You have to take this into account when changing lanes, backing up, etc. Although I have no complaints with my car's power, some may not find it powerful enough (I only have the 'S' model), but there is always the more powerful VTEC version of this car. But overall, my complaints with my car are VERY limited.

This is a very reliable, very fun car (especially in nice climates). I highly recommend it.

I paid about $9,500 for mine and think it is worth every penny. I'm going to drive this one until it falls apart (or at least until I can afford a Honda S2000). I think it will probably take quite a while for either of those two things to happen.

Mazda Miata. Although I liked the Miata well enough, my main reason for preferring the Del Sol is the much greated interior and trunk space. I'm only 5'10" and feel cramped in a Miata.

160 HP four cylinder engine loves to be revved. Good looks. Build quality is exceptional. Handling rivals cars that cost thousands more.

Roof can leak occasionally. The rest of the car is bullet-proof.

A great little car. Removable roof makes it a great cruising vehicle. Looks great, runs great, and you get typical Honda reliability. Simply INCREDIBLE!

hard steering,

This car has most likely the smoothest shifting i've ever experienced.
The short throw in the gearbox makes it easy to shift plus the clutch point
lets beginners learn quickly and easily. the handling is unmatched for it's price. unless i were to get an s2000, this car is probably the best deal i can think of. although my car doesnt have as many tricks and buttons to push, it's still a great car to have fun in, considering i only have the del sol type S. i've driven miata's, s2000's, preludes, civic's and this is up there with the winners.

Strong engine, great mileage, cool looks! This car has typical Honda reliability, which means it NEVER breaks! I bought it with 96,000 miles on it, and it's as solid as a new car.

Roof leaks a bit in hard rains. I'm a big guy, so getting in and out with the top on is sometimes a struggle, but it's worth the trip! That's about it.

Anyone who is looking for something dead reliable, easy on gas but extremely quick and unique need look no further. With the targa you get the best of both worlds. My wife loves it, and so do I! (Sometimes, I even let her drive it!)

I drove a Mazda Miata and a Toyota MR-2, and the del Sol was roomier, quicker, better looking and cheaper. What a combo!
