1993 Honda del Sol S review from North America
"You get what you pay for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at 110,000.
My radiator blew up.
My thermostat broke twice.
My tie rod on the left front tire broke off.
The air conditioning system stopped working and since they no longer make that model system you have to put in a whole new system, which is not cheap!
If you want to buy the aftermarket tail lights, they don't line up exactly like the stock ones do.
The car rattles and squeaks because of the targa-top.
The seats are warn on the sides where you get into the car.
The plastic vent control broke off.
General comments?
The car is not very fast stock, and corners poorly.
It has too much body roll.
The bucket seats are comfortable.
It gets good gas mileage, but can be expected with a Honda.
The car is not fast stock, but you can do things to make it fast easily.
