1995 Honda Del Sol VTEC model. very excellent original condition Honda with verifiable 47K miles. What I mean by verifiable is a complete set of service records from the original owner showing religious oil change service (at Larry Hopkins Honda in Sunnyvale) for the entire life of the car. mileage is noted along with the date serviced.

Selling only due to out of state relocation - can't take all of the cars!

This Honda has the much sought after B16A3 DOHC VTEC engine that produces 160HP...and has the highest redline of all DelSol Honda (8250 rpm). This is a premium fuel car that has averaged about 31-32 MPG on the freeway for me.

What I have done: 

*Bought the JDM visor set and installed. This means that the visors actually work to the side vs. the US DOT versions (originals included). 

*Bought the Honda Factory brake pads and did the front only because of the mileage. Surprised to find that the fronts had 75% pad left...never changed the rear...both new and used included.

*Paid Honda (Steve Hopkins of Fairfield - yes - related to Larry) to do a valve lash adjustment, replace the thermostat, cooling system service and to replace the timing belt. None of that really needed doing (belt was like new - but was recommended for a 18 year old car) - drive belts are still original and like new.

*Because of a speaker rattle, had new coaxial stock replacement speakers installed at all points - nothing special in the sense of massive amps, etc. - just to clean up the sound.

This really is a see to believe car and can say that there is absolutely nothing mechanically wrong. Listed small flaws in the paint above - but will say this is pretty close to mint for the original paint. Garaged most of the time - rubber trim is really like new - removable top does not leak whatsoever. No wrinkling at the door panels. Pretty mint original floor mats (I think they call them rainbows lol). I will include the original Monroe window sticker to prove the origin as rust-free California. I believe the buy it now price, though above KBB is perfectly reasonable for this rare top model DOHN VTEC Del Sol - It represents Honda at its finest and is a wonderful car for the price

 will take any additional photos - tried to show all

I reserve the right to end the listing early as my neighbor has expressed the desire to purchase - but I have to cover all basis

Remembering the glory days of the Honda Civic Si

Sat, Feb 28 2015

In addition to watching host John Davis slowly age over his decades on the show, MotorWeek's Retro Review series on YouTube allows us to look back on some of the favorite models of yesteryear to see their evolution toward present day. Take the 1989 Honda Civic Si for example, which is newly featured. The name is still on the market, and the current model boasts 205 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque from its 2.4-liter four-cylinder. However, the current Si is being left behind in power by other performance compacts like the latest Volkswagen GTI, Subaru WRX and Ford Focus ST. Back in 1989, the Civic Si was still something of an upstart in the hot hatch ranks and definitely had something to prove. Remember, this was a about decade before the tuner boom of the late '90s gave these Hondas massive popularity. Though, the writing was on the wall for eventual success, based on the MotorWeek review. The show called it "stylish" and was attracted to vehicle's sharp handing, even with no power steering. Like today, power was lacking compared to major competitors like he VW GTI, but Honda's 1.6-liter four-cylinder with 108 hp and 100 lb-ft still received some praise. As always, it's fascinating to see how these now beloved models stack up when looking back. The high-performance Civic might be due for another surge in popularity too, if the forthcoming Type R from Europe ever makes to the US.

Honda shows off 2015 Euro-market Jazz

Fri, Feb 27 2015

The 2015 Honda Jazz is here, wearing much the same look we caught on the Jazz "concept" at the Paris Motor Show last year. No, make that exactly the same look as the "concept," save for the fog lights on the pictured model. A move to the same global B-segment platform as the Honda HR-V makes the new Jazz lighter and stiffer than before, and pays all kinds of benefits for the subcompact. Prime among them is interior space - Honda says it's class-leading - the new hatch being 95 millimeters longer. The fuel tank is underneath the front seats, leaving the rear bench free for the installation of Honda's Magic Seat system. Three potential cargo bay arrangements are called "Utility," "Tall," and "Long," achieved by rearranging the positions of the rear seatbacks and bolsters. The Honda Connect infotainment system uses a seven-inch touchscreen, hooks up to the Internet, and transmits real-time news and Internet radio. Following a trend of buyer-installable navigation working through the factory screen, integrated Garmin Nav is an option, and other apps can be downloaded from the Honda App Center. Ride quality and interior comfort get a boost thanks to the 30-mm longer wheelbase and suspension re-engineered with better, lighter parts and new dampers, as well as geometry more inclined to the dynamic. The lighter platform bones let Honda load up on soundproofing, creating a quieter cabin. A 1.3-liter VTEC gasoline engine sits underhoood, offering 101 horsepower, with a new six-speed transmission for a semi-automatic CVT for shifting. Driver safety systems make an appearance here, too, include Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Assist, and High-beam Support. Some of those features will only be available in Europe, naturally, but we'll obviously get a lot of goodies on our Fit, too. The press release below has the particulars. ALL-NEW HONDA JAZZ REDEFINES B-SEGMENT WITH ADDED SPACE, VERSATILITY, REFINEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY - Third generation Jazz based on Honda's global B-segment platform - New 1.3 litre i-VTEC petrol engine from Earth Dreams Technology series - Extra interior space, made versatile with Magic SeatsŪ system - Bold, fresh exterior and refined cabin - New Honda Connect infotainment system - Advanced Driver Assist Systems enhance safety 24.02.2015 -- Arriving in Europe in summer 2015, the third-generation Jazz features bold yet sophisticated exterior and interior design, with unrivalled interior space and versatility.

New Honda Fit ousts Toyota Prius as Japan's top-selling car last month

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

The Toyota Camry may lose its title as the best-selling car in the US next year and the Honda Civic has already managed to outsell the Toyota Corolla to become the top-selling compact in the US, but it looks like the domination woes have just hit Toyota on its own turf. Bloomberg reports that the all-new Honda Fit carries the distinction of being the best-selling car in Japan for October - the Fit's first full month on sale - outselling the popular Toyota Prius and Toyota Aqua (our Toyota Prius C).
Unlike the Camry's 16-year reign on US car sales, Japan's race seems a little tighter with the Fit most recently topping the sales charts in May 2011. Since then, though, the two Toyota hybrids have been the top two cars in for sale in Japan. The US won't get the next-gen Fit until the third quarter of 2014, but this new hatchback should be another solid option for buyers in the increasingly popular subcompact segment.
