The time has come once again to put the spotlight on yet another underrated and underappreciated car!
the honda del sol is a beginner drivers dream, it has amazing gas mileage along with a highly modable vtec engine that is just begging to be boosted, pair that with a 5 speed manual and a 8k rpm redline and you have yourself a mini honda s2000

But… isn’t the leakages that it has bad? The leaks are the main reason why im afraid of even buying the car (besides the fact that i can’t find these cars that are being sold anywhere from previous owners and i aint got the money to just buy a brand new del sol if they are even still getting sold.)

The Si has VTEC too with the SOHC. It's weird how they're named. The VTEC isn't the only trim in the lineup with VTEC. Also, the del Sol is the 3rd generation CRX, which is why it's a 2-seater.

Currently, I own an older '01 Subaru Forester which I really like because of how practical it is. But Honda is and always will be in my heart. Honda simply builds the most reliable engines/cars ever and the best looking ones too.

Just got my first Honda, and it’s a ‘94 Del Sol. Starts up fine, runs like shit(for now) needs some serious work due to hellions and neglect. Not too familiar with Honda particularly, but looked like it has potential. And at a $500 price point, aint got much to lose out on. Gives me something to tinker with. Looks like it has the D16Y6 motor. Still learning this car, only got it today. Hell, I had to look up if/how to roll the rear window down. 😂 didn’t know that was a thing till I was researching. The window does roll all the way down and away from view. I think imma have a blast with this project.

Very good video. As for the “problems” you listed that are common…. Meh… they aren’t that common. Only the targa top leak - caused by old rubber deal. Just put some silicone on it along the edge - you can’t even see it - and it won’t ever “leak” again. Btw the “leak” is an occasional drip or two. The biggest thing with a del sol is chassis flex. You can hear and feel it when pulling into a steep driveway at an angle.

@@giannagiavelli5098 Hey Gianna...I know that it's now 3 months later but in case you've not yet attended to the 'silicone upon the seals' task - or anyone else sees this in the future, yes black silicone would be fine upon the rubber weather seals in the targa area - I undertook a 4-year panel-beating apprenticeship at a Honda dealership down here in Australia between late 92-97, so I've worked upon a great deal of Civics & Del Sols (called CRX down here & 'only' available in VTEC model with B16a3 engine - I own a decently upgraded/tastefully modded '95 'Del Sol', btw) but funnily enough, not once did we ever encounter a 'Del Sol' with any leakage issues - perhaps they preferred our climate to that of the US, especially where it gets really cold?! Cheers & best wishes from 'Down Under'...enjoy your summer, while you guys still have it!
