The same stuff with most civics, main relay, engine sounds, transmission grinds, etc

Also, leaks. Roof leaks, trunk leaks, cancer, etc. The roof seals love to leak, and the trunk likes to leak. Look everywhere for cancer.

The door panel vinyl bubbles up on all of them, and any piece of hinged plastic (glove box, stereo cover, ashtray) is subject to be busted. Other than the leaks and interior stuff, they're pretty much like any other Civic.

Also check for function on the power windows and mirrors. Also the aux lights like to bust. Make sure the roof mounts and removes properly. Check the roof rack in the trunk to make sure it works. If not, it's just some pneumatic cylinders.

If it's a one owner car and not abused, it's probably not going to be a big issue. You're mostly looking at little headaches with a Del Sol, and most of those are cheap and/or easy to fix.
