1994 Honda del Sol S 1.5L from North America

Summary:

A great car that Honda shouldn't have stopped making!

Faults:

Body Integrity is not perfect. There have always been rattling noises from the roof (I see this is common) and a leaky seal on the driver's side window. Recently the seals near the trunk and back window have gone and I've had leaking into the trunk.

General Comments:

Generally, though, I've loved the car.

Great gas mileage, very reliable, have had to do very little besides scheduled maintenance.

Trunk is surprisingly large for a small car... can fit two large suitcases if the roof is not in the holder.

1994 Honda del Sol Si 1.6 SOHC vtec from North America

Summary:

Has the power and cornering ability to be an extremely quick car

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong for the car, although finding OEM parts for the car is a bit hard.

General Comments:

I've found that the Honda Del Sol is an awesome car.

Gas mileage is great and that's good because once you start driving, you won't want to get out.

Throttle response is quick and the handling is very predictable.

With the SOHC vtec engine and the very light weight, this car has great mid range power. At wide open throttle, you'll feel a surge at about 4000 rpm and it will rocket you all the way to the 7200 rpm red line.

I'd just like to add on to the engine part of the del Sol. Having the D16Z6 engine code, it's 125 HP @ 6600 RPM. Personally, having the '94 Si model, the valve timing (VTEC) kicks-in about 4600 RPMs. On highways, a swift downshift to 3rd gear knocks the RPMs right on the VTEC, ~4700 RPMs. Perfect for all you racers out there ;)...

1994 Honda del Sol Vtec 1.6L DOHC vtec from North America

Summary:

High performance machine

Faults:

The seals on the doors leak. I had them replaced with newer model ones and they still leak badly.

The driver seat is worn on the left side, but that is to be expected.

General Comments:

I bought this car from an elderly couple so Vtec had never time to shine until I bought it.

It has not let me down. The handling on this car is unlike any other, very tight, hugs the corners. I'm an import enthusiast so I'm fixing it up and its not hard to find parts. Looks very nice all suped out!

Very mean looking intimidating little 4 banger.

1994 Honda del Sol Si 1.6 vtech from North America

Summary:

This car rocks and I wish they still made them

Faults:

As most Del Sol owners know, ashtray cover broke and arm rests sag. Driver's seat worn a bit on left edge, but given the fact there was 90k miles on this car I feel this to be normal wear and tear.

General Comments:

This car emphasizes what Honda is about.

It's a pleasure to drive this car. It's equally pleasing to look at.

This car is excellent on fuel.

1994 Honda del Sol V-Tech 1.6 VTech from North America

Summary:

A bargin at any reasonable price

Faults:

Clutch spring broke at 60,000 miles, but cost was shared by Honda.

Drivers seat wears easily due to tight entry into vehicle.

General Comments:

This car handles easily on curves and response in steering is excellent. A really fun driving vehicle.

I hate to part with this vehicle, but due to age have purchased a vehicle with easier entry and have the Del Sol for sale presently. I feel that, whom ever purchases this vehicle, they will never regret having purchased it. If you give these little cars the proper maintenance they will last forever.

A lot of bang for the buck

Faults:

No major problems.

General Comments:

This is an all around fun car. Decent handling with adequate power for its small size. It will surprise you from time to time. The seats are some of the most supportive stock ones I have ever sat in.
