  • Even though it's better built than the CRX, smoother than the CRX, safer than the CRX...I rather have a CRX. I just switched to boxer-briefs and it will take some time to adjust.
    Del Sol? More like Del SLOW! HUAHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE

    I bought a Del Sol about a year ago, and some guy pulled out in front of me and T-boned me and totaled the car. Talk about loyalty; went out and bought another Del Sol a week later. Damn, I love this car.

    You forgot the best part of this car. Driving in the rain with the targa down. The roll bar is purposely shaped like an aerofoil to draw wind away from you. So anything above 30mph and your dry as a bone while you have the rain slipstream around you. Its a really surreal experience too bad the trunk will have several inches of standing water but that is what the bucket and sponges are for. Well not just that.

    The Del Sol is far from the worst Honda and is quite a remarkable car that serves as the awkward adult transitioning from his crazy teenhood (CRX) to his full potential (S2000).
    But, unlike the CRX or even the S2K, the Del Sol isn't instantly likeable. It takes time to get to know it, but once you do, you love it. Suddenly those angles that you weren't sure about at first are beautiful and the headlights delight you in too many ways to count.
    The Del Sol is a great car just looking for a second chance, it may have failed the first time, but please! it cries out, I swear I won't fail you this time. And it doesn't.

    • @bliglum
      @bliglum 9 лет назад +4

      +TheS2Guy CRX and Del Sol aren't even in the same league as the S2000... The CRX and Del Sol were just jazzed up Civics... The S2K, is a completely bespoke, entirely from the ground up, uncompromising sports car. In fact, I'd say the S2K is more like the Acura/Honda NSX's little bro, than the a fully matured CRX/Del Sol.... According to Honda, that car would be the CRZ. Shame they never did a CRZ Si with the K20 : /

    • @SgtSeth
      @SgtSeth 9 лет назад +22

      +bliglum I think you might have missed the point. He wasnt trying to say that any of them are in the same league. He wasnt trying to compare the three cars. He was trying to point out how they are linked in the manner of style. I get it. Its kind of like trying to link the Boxster, Cayman, and 911. They are linked in a manner, but one would never confused the Boxster and Cayman for a 911. Take it easy, breathe and dont be so defensive.

    • @SgtSeth
      @SgtSeth 9 лет назад +5

Now in '95 A/C was an added option (1200 bucks) Multi-disc cd changer was an expensive option (about 500 bucks). Floor mats were about 150.00. Out the door this car was almost $17,000.00.

    These early year RCR reviews were my bibles of car appreciation when I got my first automotive job. I knew how cars worked sure, a life of poverty with my family made sure that I knew how they worked. But RCR showed me what it MEANT to finally be able to sit in the driver's seat, turn the key, and take off to wherever I decided to go. That lack of limitation. That freedom. And that appreciation for whatever four wheels and motor was beneath me, carrying me to late night parties, or band meets, or every lost route and direction on my way. ROMAN, MR REGULAR, I salute you sirs for keeping this generational experience alive.

    I really like these. I love the seating position and the feel of the cockpit (I don't even feel silly calling it a cockpit). It's nice with the roof on and with it off and the rear window down you get a lot of versatility. It's from the era where Honda engines were exciting as well as economical, even if it was never that fast. It's not MR but it still drives pretty "Sporty" and flat. Not a sports car, but a genuinely fun car for the common man.

    You forgot the fact that it also came with a b16a2 for 96 97 and a b16a3 for obd1 94-96. Wasn't offered in all years, but makes a heck of a difference. I am 17 and have had 2. One with the d16z6 and currently one with a b16a3. The thing redlines just below 8k with the dohc and is a beast for this car stock. Nice video though. All points true haha

  • @TwoPunchMan492
    @TwoPunchMan492 8 лет назад +3

    um excuse me, but ive owned two Honda Civic Del Sols and they never had leaking targa tops at all. my first del sol was a 1993 S model and unfortunately it got into a bad accident, but i had it for 5 years. no leaking at all and the rubber was very worn. my current del sol is a 1995 SI, yet again no leaks. I do admit that my S model did have the SRS failure and even though the targa top never leaked, the trunk did..but im happy to say so far my 95 Si is staying strong and i am slowly but surely going to restore it back to its pristine condition. in the end your video was interesting and funny though.

    • @GeorgeS1

      I know this comment is 3 years old and you Kay not be on here anymore but if.yiu are can you elaborate in what the "SRS failure" is? Is it a common issue? My 95 S has an SRS light but I've just ignored it because it's not a huge deal to me and the car is great otherwise.

    Have a 96 DEl sol SI with 214 k miles on it. Wife's forever car. Will still get 0-60 in well under 7 seconds. Offered wife a new sporty car of her choice. Daggers flew "not getting rid of my baby." OK new paint job seats and carpeting looks like new . Yep 20 years old will still bring a smile to you face on a back hill country Texas road. Give you 30 Mpg uses no oil and sounds great revving to 8K before shifting. Oh it doesn't have all the newfangled gadgets but who gives a damn with top down and listening to it sing as you slam it into a turn at insane speeds to have it dig in and pull at 6-7 k rpm. snap shift and right back inthe sweet spot at 5k. YEP SOME NEW ONES ARE FASTER' have bunches more tech toys Ok will give you that. But I don't think many would be that much more fun.

Just really, really fun for some reason that's tough to explain. Maybe it was the quick revving engine and the shifter that helped. And yeah, it really felt like a convertible from the driver's seat. Loved the auto rear window. Good times.

    @chrispychickin 9 лет назад +2

    It's interesting to me how rare these are in the states, in stock form. Here in NZ, where grey market imports are abound, we have the JDM versions all over the place. Usually not modded, because they're not popular with car people as far as I can tell. I remember thinking these were the coolest looking car when I was a little kid, we had a neighbour who drove one, in white, looked a great deal like this, but it was the b16a vtec version.
    I'd like to own one as a cheap, fun runabout, but there's so many other cars that fit the same bill, only do it better over all. being a two seater is cool though. Having only one spare seat is great for if you don't like having to give friends lifts very often :P
    I've never sat in one, but at 6'2" I don't think I'd fit in it very well to be completely honest. Its a pity, because they're a cool little car for sure.
    Great review by the way man!
