Nothing like it.
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.
best car i have owned
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!

Funtastic
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.
Absolute Dream
I've had this car for almost 1 year. The drive is superb, tight, quick, and responsive. The style and attention to detail of the body hasn't been matched. Everywhere you go, people comment. One catch, it is mainly guys that comment, women have no clue what they are seeing, so if your goal is to attract women, buy a Ferrari or a Porsche. The women that do notice tend to know a lot about the history of the car and what it is. The look and feel of the drive is awesome. Recently drove an M6 with over 500hp and love the NSX even more. You feel like you are one with the road. The NSX is an extension of you and your skills. Anyone considering this car drive the others first, and you will see
i love this car
this car is a trip what a head turner gets almost 30mpg on the hwy and out performs most anything on the road
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.
BEST OF JAPAN
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.
reality of nsx
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!
great car
this is with out a doubt the most exciting car i have ever had. the power is relentless! driving this car truely lets you feel in touch with the road.
My NSX car
This is my 2nd NSX and for the price, it's the best car I've owned. Very comfortable interior and exterior. It's a head turner!
2003 NSX
This car is the best price for a car that is an exotic that you can drive every day and not have to worry about the high cost of maintenance.
best car on the planet
I will never sell this car! There is no better car in all of mankind!If you don't know, now you know!
acura HXS
the vehicle was very fun to drive and it sounds really great. you guys built this vehicle really sturdy
Horsepower is Lagging.
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.
WOW
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.
My second NSX
This is my second NSX. I owned a '91 automatic and now own a Spa Yellow '98 6spd targa. I love this car for its beautiful, timeless style, reliablity, and of course it's exclusivity. I lived in NM 2+ years and have only seen 2 other NSXs. The view out the front window is the best in the business--- GT Prototype-like. The car is subtly fast-- 0-60 in 5.0 and 30-80 in a snap. The NSX has remarkable handling without too much drama. The car thinks along with you-- I guess that's what they mean when they say you become one with the car. This car looks as good standing still as it does flying by. The six speed transmission is Mazda Miata-like is quickness and short shifting distance.
A smart mans exotic car
The car is unbelievable it handles like a gem and is a constant head turner.
I love this car!
There are some things worth sacrificing for. At a larger payment than my home, its worth it, and I feel great in it. ITs safe, handles excellllllllently, even with my speed heavy foot!
THis car is awesome
I wish i could keep this car forever. Or on the other hand that it would last for ever. It's the best car i have ever had and could ever ask for
Like no other
This car is really like no other. Sure other cars can boast higher horsepower and probably have a longer history or lineage, but in terms of something very unique which not many people know about, it has a character all in its own. There are no real words to describe it. It does no justice, but for the select few who get a chance to step in and drive one of these hand built exotics, it trully is an experience one should partake in.
Four months experience!
Most responsive car I have ever driven. Mine is a silver 2004. I also have a 1978 Corvette. No contest. I often find someone standing around it when I park in a lot. Mostly, they want to know what it is. There are no identifying marks on the outside except the Acura "A" on the trunk.
Still A Great Drive
Unless you are going to go to a racetrack and take on the new vette or vipers, you will not be disappointed by the horsepower. The car is still 5.0 sec to 60 and handles incredibly well. The NSX is very much improved from the 2002 model year forward. There are very few automotive reviews on the post-2002 NSX which is a shame because the driving experience is much imporved over the older car.
The real exotic car.
Big time head turner & get many thumbs up, Great PERFORMANCE, oustanding stylish look to it. Does not get blown away from any cars, as a matter of fact, it steals & attention from any car out there. Just way too hot. When I pull up anywere, people have their jaws dropped onto the ground while staring at it. This car steals the show from M3 & any Porshce out there. You need a $250K Ferrari or $450k Carrera GT to compete with the NSX, not any upgraded volkswagen on steriods like the M3 & Porshce. Can a Vette beat the NSX? OF course, but keep in mind, vette is only 1/2 the price of NSX. It really isn't a matter of affording any of the car, it is truely a matter of choice & taste!
Great Car
The trill & performance of a Ferrari, with the reliability and low cost maintenance of an Acura. This is my 2nd. NSX and this has the best bang for the buck in the sports car market. I met a 1994 NSX owner whose car had over 200,000 miles on it. His only costs were for normal maintenance. I drove his 1994 and it was still tight and rattle free. People are always stopping me to ask questions or compliment on the car.
An exotic without the price tag.
No other car I have owned has attracted so much attention (it's almost a problem actually). The ride is exceptional and it corners like a bat outta hell. The interior is simple and free of the usual slew of buttons and oversized LCD screens. I much prefer this to the modern trend of bloating the car out with useless features (it's a sports car not a cadillac). Add a supercharger and you will toast Ferrari's and Porsches that cost twice as much.
King Dudley's WHITE NSX
The automobile is SUPERB. It is STILL what others are trying to evolve to. The handling and performance is incredible for Acura. Fun to drive and looks great, backed by Honda's reliability. An everyday exotic, which is still an "exclusive" exotic as well. KD 1
2005 Acura NSX
This my second NSX. I had purchased the first one in 1991 and and in 2003 purchased the anniversary corvette. After a year of the corvette, had to sell it and purchase another NSX. The NSX is agile, quick, responsive and beautiful. The car is pure, not fancy regarding features ...lacks navigation, heated seats, bluetooth, etc. But if you are looking for a great sportscar that virtually has not changed for 15 years, its because Honda created perfection from day one.
Great older generation auto
Edmunds has no idea based on its appraisal feedback of the true market value of this car.
