Super car. Unique and beautifully executed.

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.

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

People will always love their brand of car. But this Acura NSX surprised me. I wanted a mid engine, reliable car. Difficult to find at any price. My husband checks it out but I drive it!I have never had a problem although I admit this is no longer my everyday car. I hope it becomes a classic. It continues to amaze me that this is a 1995! The technology is still awesome.

The Exotic Without the Headache

Not only was this car the fulfillment of a young man's dream, but it exceeded every expectation; driving, appearance, satisfaction, value (yeah, value in an exotic). It's fast, and has looks and technology that 15 years later still excels. Every owner I've ever met has been classy and that says a lot about the type that drives this car. I've had Ferraris and a Porsche, and the NS is the most satisfying.

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???
