To have this car in my garage, and drive it whenever I want, is a dream come true. This is my 2nd NSX, my first one was a white 1993. The 2004 is amazing. I have the yellow/yellow. The paint on this car is flawless. Just an amazing car in so many ways. Love the fact that not many people "get" what this car is all about. It's not about power, it;s about balance. You have to own one to understand. I have owned many cars, but nothing compares to the NSX, and I will have it for years to come.

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*.

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.

until you have the opportunity to drive this car every day, it is hard to give the car enough credit. everyone talks about the lack of horsepower for an exotic but if you know how to drive the car it is plenty!!! the build quality is superb and the handling is unbelievable. what a joy to get in every day!

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.

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.
Excellence at a price

I came out of a 2000 C5 convertible, it was a great car, I wanted something different, this is clearly different. People ask me to compare the two, I tell them that the Vette was brute force, and the NSX is pure finesse. The torque advantage of the Vette is obvious, but the 0-60 times are not that different between the two. The NSX is so much more "tossable" and you don't feel close to the "limit" on the street. It's a blast, and people don't know what it is, even after 12+ years

I leased a 2004 NSX this spring. This car is flawless. I've had several Legends in the past and the NSX carries on that tradition. I now have 3000 miles on the car and it only gets better. It is definitely faster than when I first received it. It is the easiest manual transmission I've ever driven--ratios are perfect, gates easy to hit, throw is short and silky, unfortunately, my wife loves it. The brakes are strong. The acceleration is very good, but my son says the Z-06 he has driven is much faster. The handling is superb though, and the steering is very precise. The fit and finish is better than my wife's Lexus and the paint is unbelievable.

We rented a Ferrari for three days and hated it. One test drive in this car, my wife and I found out all our dislikes with Ferrari could be eliminated with an NSX!! Now we have all the power and great ride with amazing mileage but she looks so hot in her red NSX!! Ah what a problem to have - sorry Ferrari.

Great Looks, Great Performance, Fantastic Reliability, I've had this car over 3 years and other than normal maintenance, not a cent of repairs. No squeaks or rattles. This car gets looks from everyone. Bumper to bumper traffic, mountain roads or high speed runs. Just a blast to drive.

Having recently purchased an NSX, i have to say that this car is very specific. what i mean is that its not for everyone. It has the look of a ferrari or lambro, and a similar price,however it doesnt have the performance of them. Its close though. This car isnt one you should get if your looking for pure performance. You should get this if your looking for Exotic with Performance. THis car is more exotic than Ferrari's and Lamborginis, its great with the new interiors and 13 seconds is more than enough for me

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.

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.

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.
Exotic thrill ride

If you enjoy drving a Indy type race car on the street, which grabs more attention then a naked lady riding a horse. Then Acura has just the car for you, the NSX will cause severe neck injury to fellow motorist and pedestrians, while giving you the ultimate diriving experience for under 100K.

i have driven many many super car in my lifetime, and this is by far the easiest to drive. At first i thought 300 bhp wasnt going to be enough, but was i wrong. this car is all about balance.. HONDA really did a good job. Cars i have driven: 2001 corvette, 1998 viper, 2003 M3, 1999 911 turbo.

STUNNING, AND LESS THAN 200 PER YEAR ARE MFD, MAKING MY RIDE SPECIAL. MAJOR PROBLEMS ARE FACTORY TIRES ARE TOO SOFT, LIFETIME OF RUBBER IS APX 6000 MILES IN DAY TO DAY DRIVING.ACURA SHOULD USE GOODYEAR F1'S.RIDE WOULD BE BETTER AND RUBBER LAST TWICE AS LONG. THE LAST TIME I BURNT A CLUTCH OUT ON A SPORTSCAR- WAS IN 82, ON A 74 TRIUMPH TR6. CLUTCH ON THE NSX WEAR INCREDIBLY FAST & ACURA CHARGES 3G+ TO REPLACE. REASON 1 PURCHASES EXOTIC FROM HONDA/ACURA WOULD BE RELIABILITY. HOPEFULLY THE NEXT NSX WILL BE DESIGNED WITH THAT IN MIND. HOWEVER, I LOVE MY NSX!

In all it is a fun car and it turns heads. I don't like the fact I need to but a new set of tires every 7000 miles and also that the horsepower is not up to speed with the rest of the exotics in the class. Maintenance wise it is an incredible purchase and a very rugged vehicle.

What can I say? This is the exotic all cars that have come after it have had to set as a benchmark in terms of reliability and performance, and many cars costing twice as much still fail to meet the goal 15 years after the car was introduced.

Obviously people who want this car want to go fast. Why blow 90K on a V6 3.2L? For better performance, save 40K and get a Corvette Z06. It's faster, made in America, and has a HUGE engine advantage over the NSX. Or if you are Corvette alergic, get a Dodge Viper. Way better and still saves you 20K.
Americans expect more for $90,000

Yes, I'm impressed that it has a top speed of 175 mph for only having 290 hp. Yes, I like the way it looks and handles and all the exotic materials like the all aluminum body and titanium connecting rods. The interior leaves little to be desired. I mean even the Acura RSX has a more modern looking interior then the NSX. I especially like the white gauges in the RSX. Come on Acura, or actually the Honda Motor Company, if you want to sell more NSX's you have got to get with the program. High "Horsepower" equals to high sales in America. Ok you got the looks, don't be stingy with the power.

My Blue Beauty has been my dream car all of my life. It was well worth the money I spent. It hums down the highway at exciti9ng speeds. If you have the money buy one. Haggle with the dealer, they will always knock down the price. Not everyday does someone want to buy an NSX.
This NSX is awesome compared to Z06

I've driven a ZO6 for a few days before buying the NSX. Here's a comparison: The Z06's steering is too light No feel. Shifting is truck-like. Body rigidity is worse than my 11 year old Honda. Ergonomics are pathetic. Controls vintage 1970. Build quality poor. Wavy panels, uneven gaps. Acceleration and braking are much better than the NSX. Handling is about equal. The Z06 feels half sports car and half truck. The shift feel is horribly coarse. This car feels like an old rattly crapbox with a big engine stuffed into it. There is none of the hi-tech feel one gets from most modern cars. Sure it costs less than a new NSX but I don't see the attraction at all. You get what you pay for.
I love it!

For those who rate sports cars by it's ability to "flex" its muscles (i.e., Raw Horsepower), then you'll be surprised that this "merely 290HP" NSX can outrun most stock sports cars that has more much more HP on the drag strip as well as on the track. The engine has the 2nd best soundtrack of any sports car (I rank Ferraris on the top of my list). Words aren't enough to describe the feeling this car gives to the driver or even the passenger. You MUST drive this car for yourself to realize it's worth every penny.

Advantage of driving a corvette: It goes fast Advantage of driving an NSX: Luxury Style Handling It turns heads feels solid at ANY speed a real gearbox STREETABLE TORQUE! (ever heard of TOO MUCH TORQUE? The Corvette was rediculous - had to start it like a grandma or risk standing still in a burnout) havent had a single reliability issue with it in 23,000 miles.

I had a 1991 NSX.I drove a new NSX and other then some cosmetics, it is the same car. ACURA dropped the ball! There needs to be a serious motor under the hood and all the nice things included for a price that should be about $30,000. lower then where the present model is priced. ACURA has always been know for it's great cars at reasonable prices. The NSX over the years has become way too expensive for what it has to offer. Bring on the new car at $60,000. like when it first came out 11 years ago and ACURA will sell them like Corvettes.
