Perfect
When I purchased the car I had to replace the catalytic converter. This year my a/c when out and had to replace the condenser.
I love the way the car handles and the seats are very comfortable. I am only 4'11" and can actually push the clutch to the floor.

I can't wait to convert this to hydrogen power in 7-10 years!
In my 8 years as the original owner of this car I have never had a single thing go wrong with it. I change my oil every 3,000 mile and I have the car serviced by a Honda certified mechanic at Honda's suggested 7,500 mile intervals.
I lusted after the del sol vtec before I ever bought one. My last car was a Civic Si hatchback and it was a fine little pocket rocket, but this baby... well this fine little swiss watch of a car has exceeded all my expectations.
It's a sheer joy to drive here in Southern California where I laugh at the Hummers and SUVs whose owners have all had to take second jobs to pay their gas bills. Even with the required high test at 2.75 a gallon here my del sol just sips the expensive stuff and still delivers unto me 31 mpg. Sweet!
My top has never leaked and I've never lubed it - perhaps the age long drought here has something to do with that.
The trunk is "ginourmous" - even with the hard top ingeniously stored in its caddy.
The interior has stayed fresh and durable I've even gotten used to the cup holder. Actally, the storage compartment just below the cup holder serves terrifically as a spill basin when I take a corner at high speed with a full cup of Starbucks.
I have yet to see another car on the road I'd rather own and I still enjoy driving my del sol - whether just down the road to the post office or all the way up the California coast to San Francisco.
I may only average 5,000 miles a year on my car,

Hey Gaylord Falker, I'm assuming that you drive a gas guzzler by the above comment. Because of your demand for the "good ole' gasoline" you've contributed to the gas prices skyrocketing... just think of the money you could save if you drove a more economical vehicle...wouldn't it be nice???
If you ever thinking of selling your car, please let me know know. I am located in Southern Cali myself.
Thanks!
It's the best car I've ever had!
Fan motor was wired backwards from the factory... this made the A/c cut out. This was fixed immediately by service dept.
We bought the car new in February 1997 and have enjoyed it immensely for the past 8 years. This has been one fantastic little car, and I've had many. Fun to drive, cheap to keep. It NEVER gives a day of trouble. The trunk is a cave, considering the size of the car. I have a trailer hitch on the car and pull a hot dog cart with it. No problem! I intend to drive this car for the next 10+ years. I think it's a classic! I only wish the Honda engineers would have designed a better cup holder. I did CIVIC carpet hook for the drivers' side, which cured the problem of the mat slipping under the gas pedal all the time.

I love my car as well. My wife is about 5 foot and has no problem either, but after driving, I must move the seat all the way back just to set down. I have had no problems with my '95 other than having to fill the 10.5 tank about every 500 miles. Mine is a S, with a 1.5l.
