1993 Honda del Sol Si review from North America
"A fun car that holds true to Honda's legendary reliability!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor body flaws from previous owner. Included cracked front bumper and torn and water-stained seats. Also missing minor interior trim pieces.
Third gear also made a grinding noise if you shifted into it over 2,000 RPM.
General comments?
All in all, the car was in decent shape for its high mileage. I saw no evidence of leaking roof seals, and the engine ran like a champ. It's a fun car to drive, and the removable roof just adds to the fun. Since it's so short, parking is a cinch, and it feels like you're pivoting when you make slow speed sharp turns. It's roomy trunk makes it reasonably practical, even for a two-seater.
