I'm thinking about purchasing a Del Sol Si or VTEC. A friend of mine advised that the Del Sol is less reliable than other civics. How can that be possible, when it uses the same engines?

Are there any other gremlins to worry about that is specific to the Del Sol?

 

This should help you out.

you're friend doesn't know what he's talking about. A del sol is just a civic with a different body.

 

Thanks for the pros/cons thread. I couldn't find it in my search, but it was exactly what I'm looking for.

 

go with the vtec model

 

yeah the only reliability change betwean the civic and the del sol is the roof seals and the rear wing clips tend to leak. if properly maintain your seals there is no issue.

heres alot of sol info for sol owners by sol owners

 

make sure the roof seals are good otherwise when it rains your *** gets wet and thats no fun.

 

Just fix the roof seals right off the bat if they're bad and it will last just as long as any other civic.

 

mine starts everytime.

 

del sol are the sh*t i think it is one the the best cars honda made... for EX... look at the S2000 it has some of the same looks.... im the inter..... go with the jdm(CRX) aka civic del sol...

 

of course its a honda

 

go for the vtec model...mines a 1997 @ 188k miles and its still running strong...all honda's just need to change timing belt from time to time..thats it....well i have a minor oil leak coming from my head gasket..but that could easlily be fixed

 

Yeah of course, i agree

 

Your boy's an idiot. del sol is jus another civic.... same ****
