Review
This my second NSX. I had purchased the first one in 1991 and and in 2003 purchased the anniversary corvette. After a year of the corvette, had to sell it and purchase another NSX. The NSX is agile, quick, responsive and beautiful. The car is pure, not fancy regarding features ...lacks navigation, heated seats, bluetooth, etc. But if you are looking for a great sportscar that virtually has not changed for 15 years, its because Honda created perfection from day one.
Favorite Features
handling, style, service like a regular auto, not an exotic.
Suggested Improvements
NONE since the last year is 2005 for this model

The automobile is SUPERB. It is STILL what others are trying to evolve to. The handling and performance is incredible for Acura. Fun to drive and looks great, backed by Honda's reliability. An everyday exotic, which is still an "exclusive" exotic as well. KD 1

Review
This is my second NSX. I owned a '91 automatic and now own a Spa Yellow '98 6spd targa. I love this car for its beautiful, timeless style, reliablity, and of course it's exclusivity. I lived in NM 2+ years and have only seen 2 other NSXs. The view out the front window is the best in the business--- GT Prototype-like. The car is subtly fast-- 0-60 in 5.0 and 30-80 in a snap. The NSX has remarkable handling without too much drama. The car thinks along with you-- I guess that's what they mean when they say you become one with the car. This car looks as good standing still as it does flying by. The six speed transmission is Mazda Miata-like is quickness and short shifting distance.
Favorite Features
Style and driving view. Exclusivity, Honda solid reliability, and power to spare and oh yes those glances.
Suggested Improvements
Left foot rest. More seating position option--including a front of seat rise position to ease knee stress or an knee extension. CD changer built into existing stereo-- cassettes are out. That's about it.

Review
No other car I have owned has attracted so much attention (it's almost a problem actually). The ride is exceptional and it corners like a bat outta hell. The interior is simple and free of the usual slew of buttons and oversized LCD screens. I much prefer this to the modern trend of bloating the car out with useless features (it's a sports car not a cadillac). Add a supercharger and you will toast Ferrari's and Porsches that cost twice as much.
Favorite Features
Looks, Looks, Looks. Exclusiveness. Living in silicone Valley I see M3's and Porsches all day long. I go months without seeing another NSX (usually the duration between club meetings).
Suggested Improvements
My only wish is that this car had a bit more power stock. Although with a little time an money you can make a completely street legal rocket out of this car.

Review
The trill & performance of a Ferrari, with the reliability and low cost maintenance of an Acura. This is my 2nd. NSX and this has the best bang for the buck in the sports car market. I met a 1994 NSX owner whose car had over 200,000 miles on it. His only costs were for normal maintenance. I drove his 1994 and it was still tight and rattle free. People are always stopping me to ask questions or compliment on the car.
Favorite Features
Looks and the way it drives. I took the car on a 600 mile drive and it was very comfortable and enjoyable.
Suggested Improvements
This is the last year, so any improvements are a mute point. Note, the trunk only holds one set of golf clubs.

Review
Big time head turner & get many thumbs up, Great PERFORMANCE, oustanding stylish look to it. Does not get blown away from any cars, as a matter of fact, it steals & attention from any car out there. Just way too hot. When I pull up anywere, people have their jaws dropped onto the ground while staring at it. This car steals the show from M3 & any Porshce out there. You need a $250K Ferrari or $450k Carrera GT to compete with the NSX, not any upgraded volkswagen on steriods like the M3 & Porshce. Can a Vette beat the NSX? OF course, but keep in mind, vette is only 1/2 the price of NSX. It really isn't a matter of affording any of the car, it is truely a matter of choice & taste!
Favorite Features
Everything!! Even a $29k Evo can beat a 911, & it costs 1/2 the price of 911, but I would still rather get a 911 over any Evo. Just like a Supra can beat a Ferrari, but again, I would rather take a Ferrari any day. So, I could have bought 2 vettes, a M3, 911, but didn't find them hot enough. NSX!
Suggested Improvements
Nothing! Little M3s & 911s get blown away whenever I pull up in my NSX. People, lets face it, we are not always in an indy 500, so what's the point? This car is hot, reliable & breaks necks whereever I go. Sky is the limit w/ power, u can give a Civic 400 hrspwr AND? HENCE, The NSX is a true WINNER!

Review
Unless you are going to go to a racetrack and take on the new vette or vipers, you will not be disappointed by the horsepower. The car is still 5.0 sec to 60 and handles incredibly well. The NSX is very much improved from the 2002 model year forward. There are very few automotive reviews on the post-2002 NSX which is a shame because the driving experience is much imporved over the older car.
Favorite Features
The clutch and the gear shift are easily the best in the world. Brakes are amazing. Interior leather is also a big improvement over the older cars.
Suggested Improvements
Who would not agree that the car could still use maybe 75 more horsepower.

Review
This car is really like no other. Sure other cars can boast higher horsepower and probably have a longer history or lineage, but in terms of something very unique which not many people know about, it has a character all in its own. There are no real words to describe it. It does no justice, but for the select few who get a chance to step in and drive one of these hand built exotics, it trully is an experience one should partake in.
Favorite Features
The list is practically endless in terms of comfort, reliability, exotic looks, customer service support, parts, etc. It drives like a dream and handles like one too. The reliability, is unbelievable. Its not uncommon for this car to reach 350,000 miles on its original engine w/ no major r
Suggested Improvements
Horsepower, let's face it. Everyone always wants to have more and more because its addictive. My friend owns a Viper and he complains about not enough horsepower and lack of reliability among other things. But this car has so many aftermarket upgrades. Whats not too like about that.
