I chose a del sol. If I could have a project car though it would be a hatch.

Del sol &gt; Civic
-targa top
-two seater (not hauling friends around)

Civic &gt; Del Sol
-extra room for crap
-just gotta love the shape of the eg hatch.

I think there are a couple of these threads...check them out if you are considering buying one of them.

BTW....most of them are not EG but EH rather

well to slightly disagree with SolObsession (whos name makes his choice VERY obvoius :D) i love my hatch. keep in mind, with a 2+2 you pretty much wont be hauling people around anyway (no one is comfortable in a back seat that cramped), and with my si i've got a sun roof, so i dont need no targa top

Personally I'd pick the Sol. It's a little more unique than a civic. Also, it might be a chic car, but I've never complained about chics loving my car

Del Sol = you and your girl

Hatch = you and your homies

(im talking about how many people you could fit, go from there).

Ahhhh hands down fellas,I have a 94 Del Sol VTEC.I went from a 93 hatch (which I loved) to a Nissan truck and then I found my "SOUL",plus side is,you dont see many done up out there.Everywhere I look I see hatches and coupes.If you can get a stock VTEC,Id say go for it.Dont settle for any other model Sol,you'll only wish you got the VTEC or settled for the hatch (lol).........SOL,SOL,SOL!!!!

-Just my 2 cents,buy yourself something pretty

Some of the sols do have that problem.... check behind the steering wheel and above the seat... that is where the problem usually is. Just playin.
