Dude if you want a nice 2 seater get an mr-2 or a miata. They're a whole lot sportier, look better, and are both RWD. Del Sol's are just heavy slow civic's with a (imo) dumb looking shell (hence the del slow comment.. lol) ...BUT, if you must have a Del Sol, that one seems to be a good buy overall, and yes you can get a steering wheel WITH airbag for really cheap, check craigslist.org and ebay. Good luck on whatever you choose to do!
P.S. shame on you for abandoning your Ferio! lol, how much you selling your car for btw?

Initially, the base S model carried a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, while the sportier Si held a 125-horsepower, 1.6-liter four with variable-valve timing. A 160-horsepower engine powered the VTEC model, added in 1994. The 1.5-liter engine disappeared after 1995, replaced by a 106-horsepower 1.6-liter four for the base S model. S and Si models had a standard 5-speed manual transmission, with 4-speed automatic optional. Only manual shift was available in the high-performance VTEC edition. But it weighs 2301.
