Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Dilbert Firestorm, Dec 8, 2003.

  1. I've been seeing a really nice small honda car, at leat I thought it was
    Honda. looks like a 2 seater. I wasn't able to get the name of the
    model (too far away). haven't been able to id it on other sites

    it is similar to GM's Fiero & the Triumph's TR-X in design.....

    Sounds like a Del Sol, a Civic derivitive no longer made.

  8. I belive that's it!

    too bad its no longer in production.... it looks like a very nice car
    as I've mentioned.

    anyone know how it drives?

    As far as I know, apparently the handling was not quite as good as the
    old CRX.
    While it looks like it has a roof, it's actually a removable pannel (or
    is it 2?), so
    the car was a bit heavier and less stiff than the CRX. Couple that with
    the very small
    cabin and you see why it did not sell as well as Honda would have
    wanted, iso
    it was discontinued, just like the Prelude.

    I wonder if Honda will introduce another Civic variant that's as nice as
    the CRX or even
    the Del Sol... And before you mention the Civic SiR hatch, sorry, it
    costs as much as an
    Accord and that puts it waaaay out of the Civic buyer's price range
    (including mine).

  10. It's either a del sol or S2000.
    I suggest that you visit a Honda dealership and take a close look at the
    S2000. I believe that you will be impressed.

  11. while s2000 looks like a very nice car, but its expensive at 30G's.

    I think there was some mention of an S1000. know anything about it?

  12. Fun enough to drive, especially in Si trim but had the moniker Del Soak.
    The roof is notorious for leaking.
