We've never had problems with not having enough room in the cars we have here besides perhaps when moving.

One of those cars is a del Sol.

Then again, in most driving the most any of the four cars carries is two adults and a dog. The dog just stayed home if we bring out the del Sol.

So as long as you're not a slob and don't need anything big in the trunk, you should be just fine.

maybe its just me, but i find my del sol to be quite impractical for daily driving. It's very small, only a 2 seater. Don't even think about trying to stuff a 3rd person in there. Not sure what you guys mean about lots of trunk space, there's only 14 inches max of vertical trunk space in my sol. Also more then likely your windows and or roof will leak. So if you drive it to work and it rains your seats and possibly dash will be soaked. There is fixes for that however. In the interior there's not really any compartment space, but that's how it is with small 2 seaters. Don't get me wrong i love my del sol, but it's the worst daily driver i have ever had. Others i'm sure have done much better then i.

I enjoy going to junkyards and find cars that kids crack up, body kits whatever and putting the pieces back together. Fiberglass is fiberglass.Surfboards and cars.
Type R engines are fun in del sols too.

Man, I would consider any 2 seater as a "practical car". They're for flogging the crap out of.
