Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
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.
What’s new
There are no changes in store for the 2003 Acura NSX.
Edmunds 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.

My 2nd NSX
Easygo711, 12/22/2004
2002 Acura NSX 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)
The thrill and performance of a Ferrari
and the reliability of a Honda. This
car can be a daily driver and it won't
break the bank. This is my 2nd. NSX.
My previous one was a green 1996. I
sold it with 62,000 miles and the car
was tight with no problems. I bought
my 2002 with 11,000 miles. I wanted a
red one and wanted the 3.2 and 6
speed. My buddy has a Porsche and he …
said it costs him more than his ex-
wife. I drove Vipers, Corvettes and
Porsches. I feel the NSX out did them
all. In overall driveability, quality
and fun factor. My wife loves to drive
it. And you don't see one on every
corner. IT'S A TRUE EXOTIC.

2 year follow up
Easygo711, 12/27/2006
2002 Acura NSX 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)
It's been 2 years and 17,000 miles since my last review of my 2002 NSX. This car has 28,000 miles on it and is amazing. I have not spent a cent on the car except for normal maintenance and an upgrade to a Comptec exhaust system. I didn't notice a change in performance, just a better exhaust sound. I just had an oil change and the tech said I still had 60% left on the brakes. There are no … squeaks or rattles and everything works perfectly. I will need to replace the tires soon. The short throw shifter and 6 speed are a pleasure to drive. A tip of the hat to Acura and this car. It's no wonder that used NSXes hold their value.

Couldnt be happier

2002 Acura NSX 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)
The more I researched this car, the
more I thought I'd like it, but I
hadn't even begun to understand how
much I'd have liked it. Driving this
car is as fun as driving it for the
first time every time I get in it.
Truly spectacular. Worth the extra 30
thousand dollars over the Corvette --
this thing has *soul*.

A fine instrument
Kiwi, 05/08/2002
2002 Acura NSX 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)
I'll take hand-crafted aluminum over
American plastic any day. As far as
performance, too many muscle-heads are
fixated on size. If you want cubes, get
yourself a Caddy with an 8-liter V8.
The NSX is a scalpel and the Corvette
is an axe. To join the legions of macho
men that have the world looking at your
tail lights, buy the Vette. If you want
every twist and turn in … the road to be
brought to life under your steering
wheel and don't have the money for a
Ferrarri, the NSX is for you.
