Bought vehicle used with 112000 miles on it. Car was like new in every respect. Everything works perfectly. Driving is really fun and comfortable.This car gets lots of attention. Corvettes are too common.As a bonus it is very reliable and gets good gas milage. Dale

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.

NSX = Fun For Driving Enthusiasts

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!

92 NSX, truly remarkable exotic

Steve's NSX, 12/30/2006

Design & production of the NSX is truly remarkable. Probably one of the most thought out designs of any exotic sports car ever built. The NSX was hand-built, making it a rare & special high performance car. An all aluminum/magnesium body coupled with 270 hp produces a potent pound/hp ratio. The NSX had the 1st VTEC engine in a mass produced car. Handling is excellent. Interior & exterior design is like nothing else. I don't plan on changing any features, performance nor visual.

One of the All-time Greats

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.

One of the finest exotic cars even built

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 It willbe superceded by a 2nd version, as it has had an long life span.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!

Amazing Bang for the Buck

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.

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.

This car is as perfect a sports car get. Handling is superior to all other sports cars in the 30-60k range. Only downfall is the small trunk space

All I have to say is that the NSX is a Japanese Ferrari (except with better handling). If you're okay with not having the "prestige" of owning a European sports car, then this is the car. As far as I'm concerned, it beats the pants off comparable Porsches, Ferraris, Lotus (junk), etc. Highly recommended!

1992 NSX

I have owned this car for one year this month. I have driven the car in all weather conditions except for snow, which I plan to do this winter. The car is great in any condition of driving and gets attention everywhere. It could use a little more power especially when shifting to the next gear up. There are plenty of aftermarket items available to remedy this small setback. My car has 68,000 miles on it and still looks brand new with the exception of a few rock chips and slight wear on the drivers seat and it is needing rear tires. I got about 7,000 miles out of them.

I experience no negatives. A joy to drive. The quality and reliability is top notch. It is a thrill and joy to drive every time. The fit and finish is perfect. At 75,000 it looks and drives like its first day, remarkable. This car is a thrill every time I get in and drive. The look and fit and body ergonomics are always in your awareness. Nothing drives like this and I have owned many cars. The shifting is the best I have ever used, including my amazing S2000 shifting. The sounds of the engine are mechanical music. I never turn on the radio as I hook into the whole nature of the car and not having the sound right there seems amiss. When in the mountains I am almost breathless trying to approach its handling of the turns. Matched with the engine sounds and accelerations in and out of the turns is wonderful. I really cannot imagine a better pure mechanical sports car performance. I really wouldn’t even want more power as I feel I get to use everything that the car offers.

I have owned this car for 25 glorious years and I love it. I’m 80 so getting in or out is not easy but worth it for the ride. I have 170000 miles on it and no major problems yet. Still drives like a dream.

I have owned my NSX for over a year, I was looking for a Z but when I saw the Black Beauty I had to have it, works flawlessly on short or long trips, you have to drive defensively because the car is so low (and trucks so tall) but when I'm in the mood for a rocking good time with plenty of [non-permissible content removed] I go for a drive . I have the 1991 with auto transmission and I would love to add the 2015 (manual) when are they going retail?

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.

Greatest car I've ever owned

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.

To my eye it’s stunningly beautiful. A true exotic look. It’s every bit an exotic performance wise, having bested top2 Ferraris models and the best offered from Porsche and Corvette! What else could you possibly want???
