1995 Honda del Sol S review from North America

Nothing of any significance:

The top leaked one time, but it was in a monsoon-style rain storm.

The ashtray would not close when I bought the car. I got a new one for $50 from a dealer.

The leather/vinyl on the armrest on the driver's door has peeled away slightly from the door.

The car has no torque below 4,000 RPM. When it hits that mark, though, the car takes off like a rocket.

Right now the handling sucks. It understeers like a dump truck. However, it has no-name 80-series tires on it, so that's probably the reason.

It is very comfortable on long trips. The only real flaw is the seats are very sparsely padded. The dead pedal and seat shape make for a comfortable highway cruiser.

The controls have great placement and feel. The quality of interior materials surpasses that of any vehicle I've driven.

The ride is a little choppy, but what do you expect from a car with a wheelbase this short?

The heater and A/C are great. The top is easy to use, and rolling the back window down is cool.

My car is bare-bones. It has no power locks, cruise, power mirrors (it doesn't even have a manual adjustment knob), or power steering. It makes for a light car, though (2301 lbs).

Dual airbags on a 1995 car that stickered for $11,000 or so is a nice touch.

The 11.9 gallon fuel tank is tiny, but I got 46.8 miles per gallon on the last tank. I get around 39 mpg in the city.
