Sporty, fast and open air fun!

I have owned 2 Honda Del Sols, a 95 SI and a 96 DOHC VTEC, They are affordable, fun to drive and economical. The DOHC VTEC is noticeably faster (160HP vs 120HP for the SI) and has better overall performance with larger disc brake rotors all around. The Del Sol has a removable targa top which stores in the trunk when driving and a power rear window. As with all Hondas, every control is in the right place, seats are comfortable and road feel great. If you are in the market for a sporty 2 seater with open air driving, take a look at a Del Sol.

The Honda Miata

I need something to cover my Miata needs when my miata has electrical problems bcuz I put a viper alarm from best buy, they say they have nothing to do with it. Never would I consider this brand but it solves the lacking which the delsol fulfills even with dreaded doors the seller did not mention about Agile handling Hardtop is a plus and looks good hidden in the trunk Scarcity of parts at junk yard but owners are willing to sell their parts to you if reasonable

a great car

I had a 94 del sol S and then a 96 like this one; both great cars. the vtec definitely has more power than the S. Never regretted having a hard-top convertible OR a car with such great mileage. Not a family car, unfortunately, and not suitable for kids since there is no back seat. as for the negative review in this listing - they're wrong. but read all the rest for the other del sol reviews s to get a complete picture.
