1995 Honda Del Sol Review: Interior

The instrument panel and dashboard are refreshingly gadget-free. The speedometer and standard tachometer are framed by the steering wheel. An arched hood over the instrument panel holds rocker switches for the cruise control, auxiliary lights, rear defroster and hazard lights. The simple stalk-mounted lights and wipers are stock Honda pieces, as is the straightforward climate-control system.

Other aspects of the interior are less ergonomically pleasing. The ashtray is tucked on the side of the center console where you are more likely to burn your hip than stub out your cigarette. Reaching the center storage compartment to swap cassettes requires an awkward up-and-behind motion of the driver's arm. The cupholder rack is part of the storage compartment lid (a dubious idea in itself) and it requires a two-part maneuver to release it. (It's almost easier to take off the roof panel.)
