Positive Review
I used to own a '93 Del Sol si and foolishly sold it. Was recently in the market for a new car and thought " why pay $500 a month for 3-5 years when I can try to find a Del Sol to buy? Six months later I found a' 97 Del Sol V-tek with 175,000 miles for $3000! I purchased it, spent another $3000 to replace old parts and upgrade it. It now has 210,000 miles after one year of owning it.... And I can't get enough. I'll be painting it yellow in February '15! Can't wait ( has anyone ever seen a yellow one?)

Critical Review
This is a rather small 2 person car, but has quite a few advantages. Very light weight, good fuel economy with good acceleration. Its light weight makes this low 2 door coupe fun for the average teenager also. Perfect car to learn to drive Manual I must say, its very reliable. If your considering a car for your 16 year old this is by far one of the best cars to get him started on the road.

I can't think of any, except no bells and whistles
I have had this car for five or six years now and I haven't had to do any major repairs on it. I do the required maintenance when it is due and store it in the winter, so there isn't any body rust either. I love this little car.
Fun to drive. Stylish. Targa top.
Leaks. Body flex. Slow
So I recently did something crazy. I traded my honda prelude for a honda del sol. At first I was constantly asking myself why but when I really started getting to know the del sol on a more personal level ;) I started to like it more and more. The main reason I even made the trade was because of the Targa top. I mean come on who wouldn't want one, I get 6 months of good weather and 6 months of bad weather so I didn't think it was crazy to have one. The only downfall to that part of the car is the body flexing when the top is off.. there's also some weak spots when it comes to the body rusting. For some reason they like to rust on the rockers right after the door. And the door jams themselves actually rust and crack quite often. The body to me was not designed to be in the cold what so ever but it is civic powered and civics love the snow lol. It does good in the snow with some decent tires as long as there's not any big chunks of ice sitting in the middle of the road because the car does sit quite low. Now the motor is a d15b7 and I couldn't be happier with it. I've had it for for about 3 weeks now I think and I'm still running on the tank of gas i got it with lol. 15 bucks will fill it up and you'll get up to 400 miles per tank. D series are known for 2 things... reliability and slowness. But combined with the weight of the del sol and its not that bad. I think it weighs about 2400 pounds unless you have the automatic transtop which is doubtful. I love the way the car feels and handles, it's pretty comfy to sit in. Everything is in arms reach. I also love the simplicity of it. And the modding community surrounding it, mist civic parts are interchangeable with the del sol which makes it awesome for people who like to build their cars. I'll prob keep mine stock for a while but we will see.
Cheap to run repair, great car.
No resale value
Good handling with top on, great mileage, easy and cheap to repair, very available stock and performance parts, fun to drive. None have a great amount of power, but enough to have fun.
