if the kid works at a body shop...tell him to take off the ricer shit and trade you a stock car.
and 5th gen hatchbacks are one of the most versatile honda's ever made...and they will ALWAYS outhandle a del sol...hands down.
you can add a center console, del sol seats if thats what you want, etc, etc.
i had a del sol, my mom drives a 6th gen hatch, my dad has had like 6 crx's over the past few years, now has 2 crx's, a coupe, i've had a 1st gen crx, and i've driven several integra's. the 5th gen has the most potential based upon several things.
its light, short wheel base, can utilize ITR/CTR brakes, can utilize everything from DC chassis
