1995 Honda del Sol VTEC review from North America
"Fun car, moderate death trap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioning unit died. The car still had a warranty since I bought it used from a dealer, so they took care of it.
General comments?
The car is very fun with a lot of zip. I got into an accident with it with a Cadillac Escalade. The cage held up very well and the air bags deployed rapidly. I would say it's a safe car for it's size, when you get in an accident with an Escalade, it really makes a difference with thoughtful safety construction from the manufacturer.
