1995 Honda del Sol Si review from North America
"Best Honda ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake pads at 74000 miles.
Oil change every 4000 miles.
02 sensor changed at 72000 miles.
General comments?
The best car I ever had.
After I sold my Nissan, I wanted to buy a convertible that had power, looks and style. I shortlisted my choices to BMW Z3, Merc SLK and Nissan 350z. I had already test drove a used Z3 and finalised a deal for $18000 (hadn't paid the money yet).
Next day I saw a del sol on the road for sale for only $6500. It had only 70k miles on it. I test drove the del sol and was quite impressed, and just bought it.
I put 10000 miles on it with no problems at all. Very reliable.
