Meh. If you want light, get an older CRX (87 or earlier), or a 92-95 Civic CX/VX Hatchback.

Otherwise you may as well get a Sol, if you want a Sol, because they're only heavy for their size... as a vehicle they're about the same weight as (physically larger) Civic Coupes & Sedans.

1993 Honda del Sol S MT 2277
1993 Honda Civic DX CPE MT 2224
1994 Honda del Sol VTEC MT 2491
1994 Honda Civic EX CPE MT 2443

There have been dozens of threads on this, though I've been having a hell of a time with Search lately.

aww sux i would of thought they might be lighter

Sols have some extra reinforcements, to try and counteract the roof getting lopped off. Most convertibles weigh more than the car they're based on for the same reason.

Though cars that start off as a convertible don't always follow the same rule of thumb.

i still wonder why people say a del sol is heavy when it weighs as much as an eg but i guess cause it's a 2 seater
