1993 Honda del Sol Si review from North America
"A piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the entire cooling system twice.
I have replaced other components of the cooling system several times. The fan switch and thermostat go out about every 3 to 4 months.
The car squeaks all the time, really badly when I go over bumps.
It leaks where the roof connects to the car so bad that I can't keep moisture out of the car and it has mildewed.
It is sitting the the parking lot of my apartment complex now because it just will not start. It was fine one minute, and in the time it took me to pump a tank of gas, it was broken.
General comments?
I am convinced that everyone that says that Hondas are good cars are liars. I have spent more time on the side of the road with that car than I did in a Jeep Cherokee that I finally got rid of at 300,000 miles. I have taken excellent care of the car, all scheduled maintenance is always done on time, but it still just isn't reliable. It is sitting the the parking lot of my apartment complex now because I refuse to toss another dime into the piece of junk.
