  Absolute Dream - 2005 Acura NSX
  By Shawn So. Cal - November 3 - 5:18 pm

  Ive had this car for almost 1 year. The drive is superb, tight, quick, and responsive. The style and attention to detail of the body hasnt 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

  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.

  King Dudleys WHITE NSX - 2005 Acura NSX
  By King Dudley - November 16 - 9:31 am

  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 Hondas reliability. An everyday exotic, which is still an "exclusive" exotic as well. KD 1

  My second NSX - 2005 Acura NSX
  By High Desert NM - November 5 - 11:30 am

  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 its 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 thats 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.

  An exotic without the price tag. - 2005 Acura NSX
  By kushbudz - September 16 - 9:13 pm

  No other car I have owned has attracted so much attention (its 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 (its a sports car not a cadillac). Add a supercharger and you will toast Ferraris and Porsches that cost twice as much.

  Great Car - 2005 Acura NSX
  By O.C. Dave - September 16 - 7:19 pm

  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.

  The real exotic car. - 2005 Acura NSX
  By Too Exotic - February 24 - 7:11 pm

  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 isnt a matter of affording any of the car, it is truely a matter of choice & taste!

  Still A Great Drive - 2005 Acura NSX
  By Matt - February 23 - 9:17 pm

  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.
