Review
Best irrational decision I ever made. Does very well as a car (fast, handles great, quiet when it should be and sounds incredible above 5000 rpm. But it's not really a car--it's a big trophy. It gets stares and attention wherever I go, particularly from 20-somethings.
The other day I parked it at the Porsche dealer, where it was surrounded by cars costing 5 times as much. A couple arrived and made a beeline to the NSX, ogling it and ignoring all the expensive toys nearby. The only problem with it is that it's too nice to drive in traffic or park in parking lots.

I have owned this car for 2 years and never cease to have fun while driving it. It always pleases and never disappoints. Although it was 18 years old when purchased, after only a few maintenance items (suspension, brakes and dealer recommended engine maintenance) and a little TLC, the car runs and drives like new. It is now 20 years old and starts and drives like it came off the showroom floor. The engine has 119,000 miles and never skips a beat, even at the 8000 RPM red line. Incredible!

This car has the highest fun factor of any I have owned in 40 years of driving. It's beautiful looks turns heads wherever I go and it is a LOT of fun at the track or on the street. It is amazing that a car nearly 20 years old can compete in every meaningful way with some of the very best of today. The handling is superb, ergonomics excellent, and the sound of that engine revving to 8000+ rpm right behind your head intoxicating! While I may buy additional cars, I can't see myself ever selling my NSX.

I sell highline cars for a living and
have driven almost EVERY car out there
(except for the Lamborghini Murcialago,
spelling might be off). This NSX is the
best all around car you can buy. Unlike
JohnJohn's post of all the girls that
look at him, most of my admirers have
been men. They have been in the 4yrs-
48yr. range.

After owning Porsches, Corvettes,
Jaguars, BMWs, etc. NOTHING can
compare to the NSX.

Best, fun, exotic, low maintenance
vehicle I've ever driven. Some people
complain about the $2,000 to replace
the clutch (that's if you do it at an
Acura dealership), but if you own a
used Ferrari, that $2,000 won't even
get you 2 oil changes every 1,500
miles.

The funny thing about owning an NSX is
that you feel like you're 'in' on a
wonderful secret that not too many
people know about. The NSX truly is a
wonderful car. It's been over 8 years
now - since I bought my '91 - and I
STILL get excited whenever I even THINK
of going for a drive. That said - both
power window regulators were replaced
[to include the stronger plastic 'clip'
that holds the windows in place] and the
little a/c auto-temperature fan [the
little fan behind that small grill on
the dashboard] was replaced twice. I
also replaced the clutch - once - and
the clutch master cylinder.

Since I bought my 91 Acura NSX (it had
36k on it) I have begun to enjoy
driving again. So many of the new cars
just float over the road, kind of
unconnected. The NSX kind of fits
around you and you become part of the
car. The car has great acceleration,
cornering and handling in general. I
always get asked what kind of car it
is. It is a real eye catcher. The
sight lines are excellent. The vision
at night is great due to the excellent
headlights.
All in all, a very fun car. Also, so
far I have had little or no expenses
from the car.

A premier exotic. It's origin has kept
it from the respect it deserves.
Reviewers agree it is one of the best
exotics ever made. It willbe
superceded by a 2nd version, as it has
had an long life span. This car will
become a collector's item and will be a
rare find in the future. Even with
only summer driving, occasional road
trips or track events, the car is well
worth having in your stable. It can be
used as a daily driver, but some, only
enjoy it's excellence on special
occasions. It will perform flawlessly.
This is one exotic that won't need
$1000 oil changes! If you are lucky
enough to drive or own an NSX, you will
never be disappointed!
