1996 Honda del Sol Si 1.6 from North America
Summary:
Fun, economical and reliable
Faults:
Tape player stopped working at 63,000 miles. Never had any other problems. No leaks of any kind. Always cleaned and lubricated the roof gaskets every 6 months. Time consuming, but worth the trouble. New Comp T/A's at 50,000 miles, made it stick better and quieter ride.
General Comments:
Fun sports car for the money. Great trunk! Went on a 12,000 miles trip across the U.S. right after graduation and it was a blast! Top off and 100 mph through Montana! Can it get any better? Well, OK maybe at 120 mph! Bought this car new when I was 17 and I still look good in it! My parents liked the fact it was a Honda and wouldn't leave me stranded and I liked the fact that it wasn't my mom's Sable wagon, their choice for my first car!
Would I change anything on the car?
The sun visors. Let them move to the side. Better sound system so you can hear the stereo at highway speeds with the top off. A boyfriend who doesn't mind that I drive! Ha!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
