what does everyone think about the del sol compared to the miata? i like them both. if i could i would own both of them.

del sol = fwd = no thanks. Would just get a CRX.

Interested in what the replies will be. My gf owns a 97 Del Sol and I just picked up a 2000 Miata. I like them both myself

Personally I think the Del Sol is more of a chick car than the miata. I might buy the one here since I can count on it being more reliable than the shitty '92 citroens and seats.

Where I live, every del sol is pretty riced out. Although I think they have potential, it's hard to invision it for me. Except for one local delsol that's making about 550whp. But I don't know if that counts

As a Del Sol owner, I am a little partial. But I always had my eye out for a BRG NA. I like both, and hopefully one day, I will add said NA to my stable of cars.

I still think Del Sol's are cool.

Same car featured in American Touge

Always loved them hate that they are fwd but other then that its fun, try to get my mom to buy one :mrgreen:

My Sister had a Del Sol that was a manual and she liked it. I like them but I don't think I would want one after owning 2 Miatas.

My GF had a base Del Sol. God that thing could not get out of it's own way. Other than that, I love them. Great ergonomics, light, fun FWD car.

Definitely not as much as a performer as a Miata though...

The Del Sol seems like it has very low performance. The one I drove was slower than my NA 1.6 and understeered like crazy! They also aren't a true convertible. They're like a targa...

never driven one but i can believe that they understeer. especially under throttle. they have the same suspension setup as the miata. double wishbone all 4 corners and theyre similarly sized. they also have more power than the miata. the Si version at least. the targa tops are pretty cool. but im a sucker for stuff like that. i would love to track one.

Got a new del sol in 93, loved the car. yes it's slow, but it had other things going for it. 38mpg, a huge trunk, and insurance classified it as a regular honda civic. It was about as close as you can get to a practical 2 seater.

nothin gets bitches like the trans-top...

i am die-hard honda fanboi. would love a green or blue del sol VTEC and do the trans-top. it's expensive. it's heavy. but so worth it for a nice daily..

i'm sure if you actually spent some time on the suspension they could handle. not quite like a miata, but still handle well enough for some back road fun..

I like them and a b16 is a nice motor
