I looked into buying one of these a few years ago. Check the entire boot carpet for damp as the roof can leak in a few places that your eyes or hands may not be able to feel. PGMFI relay can cause a few starting issues. I replaced mine recently hoping it was that but it wasn't. Cheap fix though. Rust is a big issue and also just make sure it doesn't use oil. Otherwise fairly common with a 90's car really. The Honda B engines are bullet proof but only if they have been looked after. Too many people forget to keep an eye on the oil levels and rape their cars when the water has got up to temp (as Vtec then works) not realising the car oil isn't actually warm. What's your price range, any links?

Well its not gonna be till next year, I.e just before summer (perfect del sol weather  )Proabably fetch £1500 for the arosa and some money from savings so circa £2,000. Was looking at integras but there out of my price range and for that price there dogs. |

There are a lot of shitty Integra's around these days for 2.5k/3k so be wary. £2k can get some decent stuff. That looks nice.. To be fair though, I just love the green they come in

Sorry, didn't notice that in my hate of seeing green and going "OoooOoo"  I nearly went to view a couple before I decided to play it safe and go for a 106 XSi at the time (I'd just lost my job basically and needed to downgrade slightly!)Terrific engines. You don't need high torque figures to make a fast engine, and Honda proved that. |

that green ones a right munter, some chavvy halfords shoppers got hold of it, and only a few of the panels are the same shade green lmao i know the rossa is pretty small, but them del sols aint very practical kris, more of a second car to enjoy on weekends than a daily  why dont you try a puma? or a MR2? |

Wrong, plenty of people use them as a daily just fine. People say the same with the Honda S2000 and the Mazda MX-5. Unless you have kids AND your partner does not have a car herself then don't do it. If not then go ahead. If you don't have something different now you may never do. |
