    never knew it has such a cool roof reclining mechanism, never was a huge del sol fan but can see it's appeal now, it's a cute little sports car

    I quite like that roof top mechanism but the beeps would drive me crazy 😝

    This is oddly satisfying. I wouldn't buy one and I feel like the roof system is bit clumsy, but that's also what's so neat on this car and makes it unique.
    Edit: It's like having roof elevator / container for your roof.

    what I learned from having a del sol. It's better on the handles to close both at the same time.

      antsolja I was looking to buy a Mazda MX5 at the time, but then I came across the Del Sol and when I found out the roof was like this I was hooked, took me a year to find one with the spec I wanted, and I do use the roof as often as possible! ...I like how people stop to watch it lol

    • @COL-1
      @COL-1 Před 8 lety +1

      I believe the electric roof was available as an option on all models so some have it and some don't, mines a VTi and a friend has an SiR both with the transtop roof. (Mines the one in this video)

    • @crxdelsolsir
      @crxdelsolsir Před 7 lety +2

      Not available as option in ALL markets.
      The SiR is an import model (Japanese designation only).
      SiR is also a designation for getting the top spec Engine (not other options). You can have a base Delsol (no other option) but fitted with the B16a and it will be designated SiR.
      Electric roof available only in Japan, Europe(UK, Germany, France possibly other European countries) and South America (not sure if all or some south american countries only).
      Electric roof never available in North America (Canada, USA, Mexico).
      Electric roof never available in Australia

      They did you could buy it with a electric roof from the factory.

    • @94crx31
      @94crx31 Před 2 lety

      It's either a roof you have to manually take off or the electric roof as shown in the video.
      I personally have the manual option which is way faster to take off since the roof doesn't really weigh that much
