The Del Sol looks more masculine, handles better, has tons of after market options, has an engine that responds better to boost and is stronger overall, and has that Hondur reliability. It's also a lot more practical. Quit buying into the meme, you look pathetic.
Torque steer and understeer are totally optimal driving characteristics right?
Look, I love the Del Sol, but it's a tier or two below the miata in every aspect.
Justin Smith
>The Del Sol looks more masculine
ah..ahahaha.....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Keep telling yourself that. Your boyfriend will believe it too.
Austin Howard
Agreed. I don't buy the miata hype. Everyone spots about RWD when in reality they themselves don't benefit from it, and it's a disadvantage in snow and rain. It also doesn't make enough power stock to drift, so what purpose does it serve aside from being meme status?
Brody Russell
As opposed to rwd that is useless in slippery conditions? Thanks for being so ass blasted you couldn't come up with a retort
Anthony Young
Honestly, I've owned 2 FWDs, 1 RWD, 1 AWD, and 1 4WD. The (LSD-equipped) RWD has been the easiest for me to handle on wet roads because you can 'vector' the car with the throttle.
Jace Howard
rwd is just more fun
for example rwd car can handle well hard curve at 150kmh under throttle, but without throttle it will probably understreet out of road
and I got lsd equipped fwd hatch which can ride on 3 wheels
the biggest problem why I didnt obtain rwd yet is poverty and not so many options here in euroland
Jackson Foster
pretty sure those are only for Mexicans... could be wrong but...
>The Del Sol looks more masculine, God no, it looks like a retarded Toyota Soarer >handles better If it handles anything like the same gen civic, it understeers like a barge >has tons of after market options Miata has arguably the best aftermarket on the planet after the VW beetle >has an engine that responds better to boost and is stronger overall, and has that Hondur reliability Fair point Honda make great little 4 bangers >It's also a lot more practical Less cargo space and a roof you either stow in the trunk, removing the cargo space, or leave behind, so you get soaked if it rains >Quit buying into the meme, you look pathetic. Honda is a meme, Miata is a genuinely excellent, cheap, RWD platform. The Del Sol is just a less practical civic and owned exclusively by snapback wearing vaping stancefags
Luke Brooks
Best options in Euroland is to pick up an E36/46 323 and change out the intake runners to make it the same as a 325.
Kevin Gonzalez
stop sucking the Miatas dick fanboy
its obvious you never experienced either car
Evan Jackson
While I've never driven a Del Sol, I have been in one several times as a friend of mine owns one (along with multiple EKs and EGs) and it's barely adequate handling wise
Haven't been in a Miata since I was about 14 though
Leo Cruz
oh? another benchracing shitposting thread on Veeky Forums? how odd!
Lucas Perez
So much assmad. Sorry you drive inferior shitboxes
Ryan Ward
Miatas are floppy wet noodles overhyped by fanboys
its a shit car
Del Sols are worse than Civics but Id still say its better than the Miata overall
those Civics dont understeer like a barge either
Charles Rogers
>Baseless claims and just yelling "HURR MEME FAG" When are we going to blanket ban Honda shills? Every other post on this board is MUH FF IS JUST AS GOOD UR ALL JUST HATIN FUCKIN GAY KEKS
Jaxon Ortiz
>Miatas are floppy wet noodles overhyped by fanboys
Overhyped sure, but they handle pretty well. Nothing like a wet noodle. If you want a wet noodle car get yourself a Renault Megane convertable. You can actually feel the chassis trying to split in half >those Civics dont understeer like a barge either They're pretty bad stock, Hondas in general have huge understeer issues. Ever driven a Legend? It's like trying to steer the USS Enterprise
Xavier Wright
>assmad >Makes this thread >Taking your superiority complex seriously
Brandon Ramirez
A Del Sol is literally a EG Hatchback (already a floppy flexy flier no better than the Miata) with the roof cut off.
It's a Veeky Forums meme car like the Prelude. It's not very good at anything. Anything it can do a regular Civic can do even better.
These two get it. I'm coming from a FWD car with a better suspension and chassis than my current car. The FWD car is faster, but the RWD car is way more fun. That's all it is.
Jaxon Gomez
>Nothing like a wet noodle.
dude
yes they are, unless you beef up the chassis its awful
the worst Ive ever been in personally was a Foxbody tho
>Ever driven a Legend
thats an old luxury car
having driven Si Hondas I can tell you that they are better than Miatas
Alexander Morgan
>yes they are, unless you beef up the chassis its awful
Not really, they're pretty solid, although again it has been a long time >having driven Si Hondas I can tell you that they are better than Miatas That's seriously debatble, I've driven both EG Sis and EK Type Rs and they both took some serious effort to avoid flying into trees
Jonathan Clark
>That's seriously debatble, I've driven both EG Sis and EK Type Rs and they both took some serious effort to avoid flying into trees
I think the problem is you cant drive the Miata is a forgiving car so you think its good
especially if you think the Type R cant handle
only other conclusion I came to is the Miata was in awful condition suspension wise
all I know is that it was terrible compared to an EF or EG
Chase Lee
I've owned both cars.
The Del Sol has a nicer interior, and is faster. It feels more solid overall. The Targa top is a pain in the ass, and loses its charm fast. It does not handle nearly as well.
Isaac Clark
>someone who hasn't driven a rwd before
Jordan Foster
>the Miata is a forgiving car so you think its good And the del Sol isn't? >especially if you think the Type R cant handle Oh it handles great, but it understeers to fuck. It takes huge amounts of steering to do anything, even the EK with the JDM steering rack (which is a vast improvement btw) takes a mountain of steering >all I know is that it was terrible compared to an EF or EG Sounds more like you can't into RWD than anything else
Chase Sullivan
Whats with everyone hating on the prelude lately?
It was one of the best handling cars in its class and stock for stock the fastest 90s honda you can get besides the NSX. Its a nice looking car too.
Wyatt Martin
Prices are going up thanks to Hondafags hoarding them. Same problem with most 90s cars now unfortunately
Michael Parker
>It takes huge amounts of steering to do anything
you cant even handle a Civic and try to talk shit about me kek
a floppy Miata is shit
I have to disregard all your future posts as fanboy rambling because honestly thats all it seems to be
Jace Morgan
Says the hondafag, this entire thread is fanboys defending their awful choices in cars.
I'm glad I bought a Genesis now, no one can hate or love them
Samuel Russell
You think so? In my area at least you can decent deals on them compared to other sporty honda models. They're cheaper than clean integras and Si's

What is an integra for 2000
Mason Turner
The genesis is the king of mediocrity
Jaxson Wood
ITR is slightly faster on the track, prelude still beats in a straight line
Good luck finding an integra type r
Ryan Morgan
There are 4 on my local craigslist
Hunter Phillips
Post your craigslist
Your either not american or full of crap
Dylan Evans
No, Im American, I just don't live in a shit hole
Brody Parker
It's a great car...
If you plan on leaving whatever you get bone stock and you're comparing it to other stock cars. It's a swoopier better styled Accord Coupe with a H22 from the factory.
Anything it can do the Civic can do better with a few simple mods™
Do you really think a economy car that weighs 2100lbs wet is dramatically and noticeably stiffer than a 2300lb car built originally as a convertible made in the same time period.
Let me ruin that fantasy for you they're both shit without a cage compared to anything built in the last 15 years and you're probably gonna get hurt if you get into a crash with anything bigger than a small car in either.
Colton Wilson
>Wet conditions Who gives a fuck?
You sound like the fucktards who insist that automatics are better because they sometimes get stuck in traffic.
Your inability to cope with less-than-ideal conditions isn't the car's fault.
Also, a Del Slo isn't even as good as a regular Civic.
Christopher Stewart
You're right, it's better
Blake Moore
ill post more when i get home, but i have all the cross members shopped and the drive shaft axle shafts. gonna rebuild the engine this weekend (2.5T) and making the transmission mounts. I just have to figure out how im going to fit the rad in there and still fit A/C lines. nigga i need dat AC even the a targa top.
Jonathan Howard
This looks awesome
Matthew Garcia
Compared to a Del Sol, a Civic hatch or coupe of similar vintage is -Lighter -Stiffer -More practical -Better supported by aftermarket -Less likely to invite presumptions that you're a butt pirate
Del Sol is objectively worse than ordinary civics in every measurable way. If Honda had tried a little harder, it could have been a legit sports car- but they didn't.
That's a nice shade of "I wish my Civic was an STI" blue
Adrian Anderson
if am im gonna buy E46, itll be 330i manuel. There are few on ads, but rusted, or awd, or autotragic. Every faggot has diesel, in used car market, there are like 80:20 diesels vs petrols. And the worst part is, here in Slovakia, we have first registration power tax, and for 170kw e46 it is 1397euro, which is like quarter of the price of that car, and i didnt count other import fees.
Kayden Murphy
so importing old powerful car is kinda pricey
Jose Foster
It's called the Del Slow for a reason OP
Dylan Reyes
the del sol is worse in every aspect compared to a miata.
I wanted one as a kid when i thought they were MR, but found out the weren't. Bought a Mr2 instead.
Liam Diaz
Let me just end this thead with the one car to rule them all
S2000

>As opposed to rwd that is useless in slippery conditions? I could have full slicks on the back of my soarer and still demolish a del sol in the wet.
Lincoln Sanders
Lotus Elise
Andrew Fisher
No
Luke Scott
Too bad
Juan Myers
>If Honda had tried a little harder, it could have been a legit sports car- but they didn't. which says it all, it was meant as a style over substance girls car. there was really no need to develop a decent chassis. just make it look cute and faggots like op will lap it up.
Carson Foster
>Arguing about Miata and Del Sol
Glorious Eclipse Master race.
Safe FWD, Practical hatchback, Large after market, Can take a turbo charged EVO motor without much modification.
Luis Parker
Ideal layout, huge aftermarket, still in production. If you want a cheap FR car the Miata comes to mind.
Also CRX numbers are limited and support is smaller. It does look better, though.
A F20C-swapped Miata will do better than a F20C-swapped CRX.
>can't handle the wet >RWD bad my Civic is a racecar I need AWD for snow
