2003 Acura NSX Review
Fuel Economy
18 mpg
Summary
What Edmunds.com says
A 12-year-old exotic that offers competitive performance. Overpriced for what you get, though. Buy a used one and get virtually the same car without the depreciation.
Pros
Reliable as a Honda Civic, midengine design provides superb balance and handling.
Cons
Too much money, too little horsepower, dated design, a much better version will likely become available in a couple of years.

Review
Its a good car. Its not of the supercar standards I was expecting. Only 290hp. That is apparently the Lowest hp for dollar ratio. I think I was ripped off power wise. And its interior looks too blah. Not chep feeling exactly, but looks pulled from any acura, and if it Was a parts- bin car, it should have been cheaper.

Review
This care feels like it was custom built for me. It is the most comfortable,responsive, and powerful car I have ever owned. The ergonomics are excellent and the controls are intuitive and accessible. The 6-speed is a delight, the Bose stereo is excellent, and driving topless is the ultimate thrill. If you are between 5- 6" and 5-9" tall, there is no other better street legal race car available.

Extremely well-balanced supercar

Review
Most people give their negative opinions on the nsx without really giving full thought to the positives. It is true that the engine is outdated however the overall build of this car is unmatched. Extremely reliable and well-made. Handles like a dream and has the power where needed. Great weight balance, handling, and acceleration. Although the engine might be too "weak" for some, it still is quite capable of embarassing even current sports cars, despite its engine being 12+ yrs old.
Favorite Features
Great build quality, good enough power for most sports car enthusiasts.
Suggested Improvements
Bigger power output, although this might disturb its perfect balance.
