Used 1997 Honda Civic del Sol for Sale near Billings, MT

I own the S coupe. That's the base model with ~106 horsepower at the crank. The D16Y7 engine used on the S models in 1996 and 1997 is the same as the respective year LX Civics. The "D" Honda engines are notoriously reliable and make fair power while maintaining gas mileage. Honda eliminated power steering on the S models, giving more power and response. I really ended up liking NOT having PS more. The del Sol is extremely light, and I average upwards of 37+ mpg city/hwy combined. I don't drive on the highway much, mostly 55mph zones. Appearance is very pleasing. The removable top goes right on a rack in the surprisingly large trunk. The rack releases and goes up to access the trunk below without having to be take the targa out of its storage rack. The quality of the car is excellent. Newer models ('95+?) have lockable storage compartments behind the seats which come in handy. The rest of the interior is well appointed with A/C, smooth manual transmission, full gauge cluster, center compartment, and power windows. The rear window also goes down for that "convertible feel." Overall, the car is a blast to drive. It's fun, sporty, quick for a 4 cylinder due to its light weight, and very economical in respect to repairs and gas mileage. I drive mine in the winter and summer commuting over 50 miles one way. (and I love it!) P.S.-- Opt for the Si or VTEC model if you can. Watch the prices, because the standard Si is still VTEC and is a single over head cam (SOHC) D16 engine, but the VTEC del Sol is a DOHC VTEC or "B16" which produces about 160hp in respect to the Si's 125. The resale values of the VTEC del Sols are significantly higher so don't be sold on an Si as a VTEC.

car is not fast whatsoever but it is a blast to drive when you lower it it handles like a beast not bad to look at and for anyone that has owned a honda they know they are cheap to fix

Owned it for about a month so far and its amazing
