I owned this exact 1993 Honda Civic Del Sol Si in Samba Green with DEL FROG personalized license plates when I was 19 and a sophomore in college at the University of Wisconsin in Green Bay except it had the spoiler and body colored moldings. It was the vehicle I learned to drive a 5 speed with as I didn’t have a choice but to learn and learn quick. Ended up selling it it on the same exact date I bought it 8 years later in 2003 after I bought a 2003 Land Rover Discovery Series II. Man I miss that little car and all the good times I shared with it pre-marriage and children. I was just telling my husband today that at 44 years old and with two kids who never want to accompany us anywhere I should buy one again. Fun fact, we once fit 6 people in that little Del Sol on our way home from going out to a club in Appleton as our college friends vehicle wouldn’t start - including a 6’7” basketball player for UWGB! My friend sat on his lap, a person sat behind the seats, I drove and two guys sat in the trunk as we drove the 40 minutes back to the Frozen Tundra at midnight in January. Enjoy every minute!

I remember when I had one of those Honda Del Sol , Mine was not a SI but it got fantastic mileage. But I clearly remember one thing about this car no matter how you washed it it always leaked where is the sunroof removable top and the window came together it always leaked there so I had to be very careful and to always carry a towel because it always ran down the inside of the window after washing it. But other than that it was a fantastic Honda product! Thank you for sharing your love of Honda products! So glad you found this little gem.

How many engines did Honda Provide for the Del-Sol? In europe you only got the D16z5 with 125hp and the B16A2 with 160hp. Also the Samba Green was exclusive for the VTI Models with 160hp. And the Transtop was available in europe aswell as an option. You unlatched the front clips, then a bar lifted the back. The trunk was rising up and pullled the top into it. Quite rare to find one these days.
