OTiS Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 if a honda is well taken care of and has regular maintnance done they can last for many thousand miles. xeryon and i both had 95 civic sedans, his is over 200k and mine is goin on 190k miles. im sure theres plenty of other pple that can comment to how reliable a honda is. point is as long as its been taken care of by the po any honda should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I sold a 91 Civic with 253k on the clock, if that helps you decide anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orca89 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Sol's probably the way to go if you want a little car, but don't want a civic, CRX, or integra. It's the only convertible I've seen that actually has a decent sized trunk, it handles wonderfully, and it's fairly comfortable to drive over long distances. The guy I bought my Sol from actually drove from Virginia to Harrisburg with all of his stuff in the trunk and passenger seat, including a fish tank. It's probably the only 2-seat roadster that has some modicum of practicality. As for the bad, you can only take 1 passenger... In most cases. I've had 2 girls in the passenger seat on occasion... Anyway, people seem to have trouble seeing Del Sol's, they're favorite targets of people with blind spots, Red-light runners, and blondes in Subarus... As well as siblings in SUV's. The big thing is to find one that's been reasonably well cared for. Make sure to go over everything before you buy it. Some people think they're ugly, some people think they're girls cars... They're entitled to their opinions. All it comes down to is whether or not you like it. Edited July 4, 2009 by Orca89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanebot90 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) psh my nissan has 198k miles on it and i drift erry day PS: i'll trade you my 240 for your hatch. All aside, del sols are pretty nice cars. You can't really appreciate one until you're up close to one, or even better- in it.

hiemsnox Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 i say just go drive a del sol on a nice warm day and take the targa off.... part of the reason i love my del sol is how it drives... its not something that you see everyday and i personally love how the car looks like from the front when your standing right in front of it.

Orca89 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 A roadster, also known as a spyder or spider, is a two-seat car, traditionally without either a roof, side or rear windows. The dictionary's on my side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
