GENERAL INFORMATION HONDA CR-X DEL SOL

First of all, it must be said that the Honda Civic CR-X Del Sol has been designed in relation to the Honda Civic, it is also considered as the third generation of Honda CR-X (Civic Renaissance Model) because of their similarities. Moreover, its name “Del Sol” comes from a Spanish translation “of the sun” paying tribute to its roof opening. Because the Del Sol is a targa, a car with a part of the roof that can go into the trunk and back without being fully convertible. It had an automatic or manual roof, but the automatic one being sensitive to breakdowns it was not the favored choice. It is a compact sports car based on a Roadster.
