1995 Honda Civic del Sol Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
People like this "sexy" little two-seater and the removable roof.
It is no longer the Civic del Sol, but the Honda del Sol - making it clear to the public that Honda wants to promote the "sport" in this sports car.
It is still reliable, economical, and practical with plenty of storage in the trunk. The seating is comfortable and the low ride to the ground makes it exciting to drive. The 1995 del Sol is priced at around $5,000 to $6,250, and most drivers are holding on to their cars. Is there any better testimony than that?

Absolutely love the Honda Del Sol. Its sporty, gas-efficient, and fun to drive. You can make it feel like a sports car if you add some after-market modifications. 4 stars and not 5, because its known to have water leaks from the removable hard top. Other than that, Id say I love the car!Nov 17, 2022

This car is cute as all get out--the style holds up nicely after all these years! Pair that with the legendary reliability of a mid-90s Honda, and its a serious win-win. Features are basic power windows, and will have to repair/replace a few minor things (e.g., trunk release lever, coolant reservoir ), but Im finding affordable parts on ebay and youtube videos abound. This car reminds me of the Mazda Miata, but again, Hondas rep inclines me to go with the Honda over the Miata--and the targa top is a better option, in my opinion, than a full-out convertible with a soft top.

I love my Del Sol! Its reliable and easy to maintain. Parts and maintenance are affordable. For a small car its fun on long trips, seats are comfortable and having the removable targa top is a blast! I get a lot of people wanting to know about the car, most have never heard of one. Only thing I would change would be to make it RWD and have a 6 speed manual instead of a 5. Nov 01, 2012

You couldn't ask for a better car. The handling is out of this world. Smooth shifting transmission. The car gets 35 miles to the gallon or so and has rarely needed major repair. I love this car so much, I wish I could keep it forever!Feb 11, 2011

What's not to like? crazy DOHC VTEC engine that produces 180BHP @ 8300 RPM virtually no weight so power to weight ratio is fantastic, sleek timeless roadster body shape with an electronic convertible roof and GO KART sharp handling, this car is one of the most efficient fun cars i've ever driven, if it was rear wheel drive i would never get another car as long as i live !Jul 24, 2010

honda made the delsol with a cool targa top option for most hard top convertable lovers. easy to remove targa top fit easilly into your trunk with plenty of room left over for groceries. Another cool feature is the rear window goes down inside the interior like a limo window. Of course my delsol is unique in it's own way but they are very sporty and handle excellent. They remind me of a small toyota supra. Jul 12, 2010

I absolutely love my 1995 Honda Del Sol. It's a little 2 seater 1.6L 4cyl. V-tec that is a blast to drive. Mine is black on a black and red interior and looks good all the time. The 4cyl. engine packs a lot of power for its size, it has 160 horses but only 111 torque. If you ask me it would be nice to have a little more torque but none the less it's still pretty quick. The car handles beautifully and sticks to the road well with its low center of gravity. Being a Honda I'm glad to say that i haven't had to do a lot of repairs on it. As long as i keep everything up on it like oil changes and fluids it doesn't have any problems. The car gets great gas mileage, it has a 10.5 gallon tank that will last me 350 to 400 miles if i don't run the car hard. It's a fun and exciting car to drive and would be a blast for anyone.Apr 07, 2010

Great car overall reliable fun in the sun, pretty fast
but the five speed is faster, and it turns on a dime,
back window rolls down which is pretty cool, this
car is very fun to own and drive wouldn't trade it!Feb 18, 2010

except for when you want to take 3 or 4 people places this car is amazing! It has incredible gas mileage and it has a removable targa top to for hot sunny days. The engine is pretty small though so don't expect to take it drag racing stock.Sep 24, 2009

I owned a new 1994 del Sol VTEC for 3 years. I loved it! When I wanted to get rid of my Explorer, I searched for the perfect "new" del Sol. I love it! The acceleration is excellent, it turns on a dime, looks great, fun, fun, fun! The trunk is huge - not something most people expect from a small car. Very low to the ground. Handles ike a charm. Great gas mileage. Easy to wash - the top of the car is easy to get to, even for me at 5'2".Oct 30, 2008

I have recently customized my Honda del Sol, I painted Black and green with marmolized interiors. It works great though I need to do some adjustments to the Engine. It has good gas mileage, and it is great to run especially when you take the top off it. Many people stare and it makes you feel like your rolling in an expensive convertible.Sep 15, 2008

It doesn't have the best acceleration, but it makes up for it with great gas milage (40+). Mine's only at 120,000 miles and I've only had it for about 5k miles, but I haven't had any mechanical problems. Another Honda I have had was at about 200k miles, with not much more than basic upkeep. The car is beautiful and so much fun to drive! Mine doesn't have a/c, but taking off the top and putting down the windows is so much better anyways!
I LOVE THE CAR!Sep 02, 2008

VTEC performance in a shape well ahead of it's time. Lot's of wow-factor and fun with the hard top versatility making it one of the first coupe/cabrio sports cars. Very tunable but rear suspension needs lots of work and weight balance is too biased to the front making the rear too light when on the limit.Aug 13, 2008

I have the 1.6L SOHC VTEC (aka D-16 A3) It performs fine as a daily driver, and performs well enough to reach the "fun to drive" category. But it's not exactly race-ready out of the box. 125hp + 2300lb = Good times.May 30, 2008

A lot of people would scoff at the idea of a 2 door car, especially a small one with a 4-cyl engine, they'd probably go for a BMW Z4 or the like, but for the money, you can't beat a Honda Sol.Mar 29, 2008

Well if you are looking for a fun car for the summer, this is where it is at. Yeah I know it looks like a Chics car to some. But this little bad boy was one fun car when it came to pulling the top off and rolling to work. Killer gas milage and well it auto-x like a go-kart. Jan 06, 2008
