I have had my nsx for ten years now. I hope to never have to sell it. 170k miles and counting...and driving it for me, never gets old. ~98'NSX-T.
I'd love to hear more about why the one guy hated the 355? it's my dream car, I know the horror stories behind it and I know it'd be wise to save up and try for 360/430 but I still have always loved the 355, almost as long as the nsx.
dlynes My uncle owns the berlinetta model of the 355..There aren't any extreme horror stories with it, except the obvious if your check engine light comes on. Also the sticky dash is a tad annoying.
that car should be good for over 300k, after all it is a Honda made car from back when Honda made good reliable stuff.
I'm late on a reply but how much is cost of ownership
I'm on my 3rd one in 11 years....I've never sold one for less then I bought it for....timeless design that still turns heads 23 years later...I get just as much pleasure seeing it in my garage as I do driving it, it's a real work of art.
My 1994 NSX is truly the best car I have ever owned. Still looks fantastic and has never , ever complained.
Love that you guys made this video. I'm on a 1-2 year plan to buy a NSX. Can't wait to finally go out and get one.
Just bought a 1991 Acura NSX. Black on black. $36k and about 100k on the clock.
Nice man, enjoy it
good job, keep it until your last day on earth.
Amazing car and a reasonable amount of money
Jake Romero BaT man. Life changing.
selling my 91 nsx with 100k miles if anyone is interested. located in southern california
Legendary car and RIP Senna we all love you
I bought a low mile 93 NSX after I watched this video. best purchase i ever made.
Congrats! I bought a 93 a year ago and it was the best purchase as well. Join Prime, best resources for everything you need.
Thanks Brandon! I am on Prime, in fact i have been a member since 2005 haha. finally got one after all those years.
Enjoy your car!
stook2003 wow, you joined Prime for 10 years without the car, lol, I guess yo learn everything there is to learn when you finally pulled the trigger, I love the BUILD section, so many creative ways to mod the car.
Plan on buying an nsx as my second car
Great Video!! I'm on my second '04 NSX and I love this car and have no intentions of ever getting rid of it!
The NSX is like the Miata of supercars; it's more about the actual driving experience instead of the speed.
I agree. It may not be as fast as the 355 they were talking about, but a whole lot better to drive. And I like your name
Well Mazdaspeed kind of means you're talking about the Miata, but s2000 drivers would be jealous of the nsx, not the Miata... So both.
Except it cost as much for 70k mile example as it did when it was new
Love the NSX. Live in Phoenix. A few people in my area own the NSX. If you can't tell by my pic, I had an S2k, LOVE the NSX. Love the S2K. Whenever I see one of those guys near me driving their NSX I think I'm seeing a Lambo coming towards me or behind me before I realize, oh, it's an NSX! Amazing how the styling stuck so well over the years.
I'm now driving a STI. Still love the S2K. Still love, probably even more, the NSX. Loving the STI. But that's besides the point. Point is, it's amazing how great a car they made, how great they look, for how old they are. May be one of the greats in car history.
The new NSX pays no homage to the old one which is extremely unfortunate as far as design elements go.
+enkrypt3d only the tail lights
+enkrypt3d its sad and unfortunate
+enkrypt3d For real, I think it's in a too high of a price-range too
well at least it's causing my NSX to increase in price so I'm not complaining! :P
+enkrypt3d
What you expect when woman design a car?
Nice colour I guess.
I absolutely LOVE this car !!!
Am on my second one now (unfortunately), but after the first I simply NEEDED to get another one. Absolutely fantastic to drive and with a few mods still very fast.
Drives easy, has an amazing quality, and is pretty practical as well and still turns heads. I slowly am evolving my own NSX, making it a little better bit by bit. Drive on the streets as well as the track and the car is simply phenomenal.
Congrats! I've been lots of people who have Corvettes and other exotics but once they drive an NSX, they had to have one. I always hear, " this is my dream car" I never hear someone say " Porsche is my dream car" lol. I have a 93 and love every min of it. My wife drives it to work daily.
I can't stand people who buy cars to make money! I buy cars to keep them.2002 NSX it has over 160,000 miles on it and it's a blast to drive, it's just a stock car and I love it...
That was brilliant, mate. Thank you, in the name of all of us real car guys that can appreciate the passion, engineering and hard work put into what's undoubtedly one of the most desirable sports cars of all times!
I owned 2 Acura NSXs, both 2000 models. The first one was new in 2000 and stopped my order for my 1999 Ferrari 355 to get it. After I sold the first one, I missed it so much, I bought another 2000 in 2004 and heavily modified it. It was one of the best cars I ever owned. I only sold it after a State Police road block in NY State got me banned from NY state for a year for traveling in excess of 120 mph on public roads... and that was on the ON RAMP!
wow, that must have been fun doing 120 on the ramp, I bet you were smiling all the up until you sold the NSX. LOL
so do you have a gtr now?
Had a GTR but it was way too fragile. Transmission and drive shaft only lasted a year. Now I drive a Bentley GTC.
Gordon Miller what do you do for a living
Make money. :)
Its amazing how apt this video is. I'm buying an NSX now 8 years later, '92 in Fair condition with 170k for 37,000 and it's one of the cheapest on the market right now.
I swear!!! Every time it watch one of your videos I am itching for you to get to the point. I don't care who owned what or who drove what. I click on a video clip because of what the title says. Not bullshit. The title of every video you do should be. " we sit talk about what we have and what we drive, then some history about the subject, then more bullshit, then act like a mechanic like y'all know something but if everyone listens y'all just repeat what others say, then the actual subject of movie." QUIT wasting people's times.
Agreed I came to see a car not people talking.
George Kelly although i agree with your comment i think you are missing the point, this is what "AFTER" drive is about, "drive" is all about driving cars and after drive is what happens after driving the cars, the chat show part of it all
ok but the chat should be about the car not what they have in their garages or what their life story is. no one cares. all the viewers care about is the car an news related to it nothing else.
yes i wanted to know about the car and little from the pst of it, then maybe some top speed, and best features.
Uh-definitely disagree.
Spot on assessment here. 6 years later the 91s are 55k and the 02+ are over 100k
man these guys were totally right the price rocketed
Yup. I remember seeing 91/92s about a decade ago selling for $35,000 to $45,000 here in Canada. Now I don't see any for less than $59,000.
I still see a few for the 30-40 range
200k plus miles
I bought a 98 with 38k miles from my neighbor for 57k last year. Definitely a fun car.
It is my dream car and realized ownership about 8 years ago. Cars in the fleet come and go but this one will always stick around. It gets hated on for its lack of power, but you have to drive it to appreciate it. 40-85 mph is a blast and add some twisty roads and you can't stop smiling! The cockpit is second to none and the sounds it makes are glorious. Another plus is the ownership community, best out there. Glad to hear that the price is about to take off, makes me look like a genius.
People always say that "The BMW 3 series is as good as it's ganna get" but, I think this car is better then the 3 series.
What has the NSX to do with the BMW 3 Series ?
REALSlutHunter
The NSX is often labeled as a legendary car and the BMW 3 Series is labeled as a bench mark. both of those labels imply that these car's are really really good.
Zohirul Islam Jewel The thing about the NSX is that it will always cost more than a comparable 3 series. I am planning on getting an E46 M3 which has way more power than an NSX, but a middling example of an NSX costs juuuust out of the reach of most people.
MH5tube Do you think the M3 handles as well? Check the skidpad data.
Jason Fernandez Yeah. It definitely does. It strikes a nice balance between straight-line power and smooth handling.
I will own a first gen NSX someday. Definitely one of the best driving cars ever made.
Absolutly I would buy one, if I had the money for one :(
60k is a lot for a used one but worth it if you really want it
MaSeKoNeGaming- Variety Gamer You can find them for a LOT less than 60k. Well that depends on which body style you're looking for.
Marcel West-Bailey if you are lucky but i saw a few ones sell for 60k and they have a low mileage
Love my 1992 NSX since new. Was looking forward to the Gen 2 NSX. After I drove that boring, sterile, no-sound lump, I bought a Corvette Grand Sport with a MANUAL TRANSMISSION. Glorious car. Buy the Corvette.
Still own the Gen 1 NSX, and it looks great next to my Corvette.
This guy is a terrible interviewer. Seems so uncomfortable.
The drift king loves the NSX and I wish I could afford to buy one.
Mike your show is getting so much better and I absolutely love it now.
1st gen NSX is a good car, but even the ones produced back at 90s cost about 40k... The ones produced after 2000s (aka "facelifted" ones) cost about 70k, and only have around 300 hp. I mean, my first car, a 03 TL-S, has 265 hp, and I bought it for only 9k back in 2011.
To buy one now is, to be honest, not very smart. But of course, if you are rich, you don't have to be smart buying stuff.
Ray Lee it sounds like you know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Ray Lee It's incredible they still cost that much . I love the car a lot but that's really too much, even if i was rich :/
I like this crew, the flow of the topic.. and I can just feel, these guys are from the 90's F1/track ethousiasts from the 90s
damn why did i not hear at u. 2-3 years ago prices were like 25k-35k now starts at 50k
GaNgStAlBeRt I looked years and years back. Prices were bear 15. Now it's going alot up. The thing is people are pricing it alot higher. The car is a legend but because people want it more now, they are selling it for higher. I will get one one day hopefully.
Chuck Farley very true unfortunately. Still would love to have one, one day
The 355 being one of my favorite cars of all time my fist thought was similar, but after hearing him talk the rest of the episode he seemed to know his stuff about things in general. He did say he owned 3 of them, so I guess he is more of a source on it than others.
shouldve saved 6 more months and got that instead of s2000 ffs
I'm sure the S2000 isn't bad either!
Patrick Melo Modesto s2000's not that bad. I like the steering and ease of the car. Honda makes very stiff chassis.
Patrick Melo Modesto S2000's a better daily. If you bought it to be your main car, you made the wiser choice.
Matt Robinson yeah it is
A refreshingly informed interview from guys who actually seem to know about exotic sports cars. Most people, who have never even seen much less driven an NSX , comment and critique them but are really clueless. The NSX is probably the best executed pure sports car designed since the 300SL Benz.
Less talk more drive would make this video much more popular I got really bored watching this...
02+ 3.2L NSX is one of my dream cars. I have several Miata race cars, a C6 Z06 daily driver and would still love to drive an NSX. Drive a '91 when they first hit our shores and fell in love. Fantastic drivers car.
No!
You need to buy a Twin Turbo 300ZX right now!
z lovers unite
Its a better car and cheaper
the 300zx
Yessssssssssssss
Kip Kip cheaper ya, better......are you high?
2015 Acura NSX is so amazing, they are getting better with each generation!
Knowing honda now, i will look nothing like the concept. It will be a completely dumbed down version. Just look at the CR-Z and Civics. They will probably use a giant toaster and put wheels on it and call it the new nsx.
I just saw this a while ago at a local gas station, its pretty rare here in my city to see an acura nsx. and i felt like crying, teary eyed. :') one of the happiest days of my car enthusiasm moments
No offense but the dudes on the couch mean nothing to me as a casual viewer. I stumble upon this video and they have zero credibility. Also, like others have said...there has got to be a better way to execute such a video without the sheer length of it. The attention span of most viewers is very short. Might want to check the average time watched per video statistics... Also, seriously watching the 3 of you yap on a couch is like being in Top Gear celebrity interview hell. Except at least we can skip that part and see what we came for.
And we stumble across your comment and you have zero credibility. Go watch something else if you don't like it.
James Polacek Go reply something else if you dont like free speech and passively aggressively tell other people what to do. North Korea State media likes your comment. Use your reading comprehension skills to offer up other replies. Try thing ---> Opening statement ( basis for paragraph) and supporting sentences.. Then concluded something like wow, im doing it !!! wooo loook at me .. GO make me a sandwich james..
Joshua Nava Sounds a lot like a double standard to me, Joshua. I was simply trying to point out to you how your comment would look to others, but thank you for your worldly advice.
James Polacek hes a viewer with an opinion and a comment. Just as credible as you are as a viewer.
ive been watching the drive net for 4 days straight now. you guys are doing amazing. keep it up!
He is a bad interviewer. God.
lol
I've owned one since 2004 and will keep it for many more years!
Damn straight, and that engine just revved and revved. It was a symphony of technical genius and pure art.
I bought a '91 a year and a half ago for $40K sold it recently for 50K, What fabulous car! handling is sublime, surprisingly good acceleration for an engine designed more than 25,mid engine, all aluminum body and suspension, it was a joy to drive. Parts were somewhat reasonable and very available from your Honda/Acura dealer (at least when compared to parts for other supercars). It was docile on city streets, but could be down-right scary if you were careless. AND there are still some nice unmodified cars around.
It's cool that you guys uploaded a video on your love for the nsx, but seriou
sly, now there's going to be more competition for one because of you guys!
I love to see the NSX getting coverage. I'm on my second and have yet to drive a more enjoyable car. It definitely is not up to the power standards of today, but it's a blast to drive. To me the exclusivity of it (you see very few on the road) makes the experience twice as good. The NSXCA club is also a great bunch of people. I love all cars so to each his own but to me, It's my favorite car of all time...
You, sir, are a true car enthusiast and a good man. You have my respect!
Was at a cars and coffee yesterday with my Celica GT-Four. It's a nice car. But the NSX is an amazing car. It was right there in that notch before everything became muted and safe. We will never see its like again, not the way things are.
Buddys dad bought an NSX a few years ago.
He loves it and I don't think he would ever sell it.... Those cars are niiiiiiiiice.
A '91 NSX w/ over 200k miles is 22 y/o and runs great. That's a Honda for you. SICK. I need one of these in my life (White/Tan). Still looking.
I'm a tech at a Lexus dealership and there was a day where one of our LF-A owners showed up in his car and his buddy showed up in his NSX that was a dealer installed comptech super charged version. Every tech walked past the LF-A which is very rare for us to have stop by and went strait for the NSX.
I literally bought the nsx when I first watched this video and I made the best investment since !!!!
Next is my 6 speed Murciélago!!!!!!
As to the inflammatory comment about cars not being an investment, I won't dispute that, but there are several cars that I have owned over the years that did go up in value. My 1996 Porsche C4S went up in value, as did my 2000 Acura NSX. Both cars continue to climb in value. It is not an "investment", but some will go up in value.
Love the guys from MCC. Their excitement and humor about that golf cart was so cool to watch. Actually preferred it to some of the rest of the video. We need more short featurette's like the closing segment. Just quick ownership perks/cons on what they, or anyone for that matter is driving on a particular day. Keep up the good work, /Drive.
i own a 94 with targa installed,aftermarket,had 37,000 miles-paid 50.Worth it
i plan on dying wit this car
I had a dream i bought an nsx, when i logged into my youtube this was the video on my feed. God wants me to buy one!
i purchased a 91 NSX 5 years ago. Agree with the feel and power-to-weight ratio statements that were made = it is more than enough for a very fun driving experience and it is plenty fast unless you are just interested in 1/4 mile times in a straight line. I added a Pride quad-tip exhaust, which easily bolted on, and had later-year 16'/17" wheels. Love this car. one item to watch on '91s is 'snap ring range' = visit NSXprime forum to learn more and get help w/ any/all questions.
I get why people don't agree with me. The GTR is a laptop of a car, but the engineers stayed true to its driving heritage. You can feel the gears slapping into place, you can feel the tires clawing at the tarmac. It's quite a visceral car for such an extreme digital machine. Mountains of feedback, in my POV. As for the Garia kart - Best ride in metropolitan cities. It's a blast and that torque from the e-motor brings it up to its limited 25mph faster than combustion cabs.
I love these guys. I love the format. What a great watch. Thanks!
From the Senna tuned chassis to the titanium engine bits, this car was truly Honda's greatest moment in road cars.
Yes, will buy. This will be my retirement car. No Corvette for me.
Plenty of aftermarket parts from many reliable vendors. I've had mine for 13 years and servicing isn't a problem.
A kid at college had an NSX in '93 and I drooled over it and finally got myself a '91 Integra in 2006. Love my Integra but one day...
I have been searching for an NSX for about 4 1/2 years for a pretty much stock one. And next weekend I will be picking it up. The only mods are some 18"19" staggered 13lb enkie racing wheels, a downforce headers back exhaust, a downforce ram air intake, some tasteful carbon fiber upgrades and a re upholstered interior. ITS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. 77k miles 1991. no I won;t tell you how much I paid =)
Agreed. I just bought one, and I think it will continue to go up in value if I can resist driving it into oblivion.
***** Eh some guy's like looking at em better ;)
Acura was a true luxury car company when the NSX came out so this whole video makes sense.
For those looking to buy one, & your issue is to get as close as possible to a track car or the feel of one, stay with 1991-1993.. hands down the best of out of all them. No POWER STEERING and HARDTOP! Also the snap ring is only a problem if the car has less than 60,000 miles. Meaning the car hasn't live on the road as much so therefore the problem could still persist. Snap ring is not an issue on all of them within range, just some. So even in SR range, the car can be free of the any SR issue.
NSX's finally are becoming legendary! About time! I say, get a 3.2, yes, is Targa, but a full second faster to 60 almost, makes a Huge difference, specially with weight savings and extra Bolt - ons!
Clutch is fine if you know how to drive it. The early clutches were dual plate which gave them an unusual feel that took a bit of getting used to. But most of the NSX clutch issues were caused by the operator.
Been my dream car from high school .
probly my favourite car of all time
I love the NSX, but any review coming from anyone who says that the 355 is a bad car has just zero credibility. These guys talk about a "track born" car, and then they go for the 355 GTS instead of the Berlinetta and they say they would go for one of the first NSX because it was stiffer and and lighter. Very very coherent then... Everyone who has properly owned one, and by that I mean someone who has lived with the car for years and not two months and crashed it, says that they are great cars. A frind of mine has one of the very last 355 F1 Berlinetta and he just wont ever ever sell it. Then again he is a proper enthusiast and maintains his car mechanics (engine and suspension) properly fit and that's how it has to be with any Ferrari and any real enthusiast who knows his stuff knows that. These guys words then for me are complete and utter crap they just dont have the integrity to talk about cars.
Gonçalo Moura They have a co-op club that has 50+ high end cars, and have owned three 355s. You may not agree with them, but they have the personal experience to have an opinion as valid as yours.
1990 Twin Turbo ZX was 35k new, won sports car of the year 6 years in a row. 300 hp, 4 wheel steering. Waited till 2006 to get a Infiniti G35 with the same exact performance (non turbo) that I had 16 years earlier. The Z at that time was the first 300hp Japanese car imported and was faster than the Vette, 911, and very close to the Testarossa with 350hp that bottomed out trying to ditch me on the twisties! FYI - it had about the stats as the NSX which did look better - I'll give you that.
great now i want a nsx, but honestly the nsx was my dream car in high school.
It depends on what you define as slow, for the money you pay its pretty fast and the handling is awesome
yeah. it's definitely pricey for sure. Great fun though. I'm really impressed with the build quality.
Tires are important, but the real problem usually comes from torque steer. Since the CV axles aren't usually the same length it cause the FWD vehicle to steer one way or the other. I've driven the 2014 Impala with the 310hp v6 in a FWD. Great car with plenty of power, but if you turn the traction control completely off and floor it it will steer hard to the right. Weight shift comes into play too because of the rearward weight shift that lightens the load on the road tires.
they are right about the ergonomics IF you are less than 6 feet tall.
the NSX fits me perfectly and i am 5' 10" (on a good day).
NSX-R definitely my dream car... If the new gen release the "R" ver, that's the new my dream car
I was looking at NSXs on Autotrader yesterday. How fitting.
It was straight line slow but, around the curves, its was a very impressive performer. The last gen SH model will be a classic Honda one day soon.
My buddy Roy lives by limerock and drives that Comptech supercharged NSX-R Such a great car.
Always liked the NSX the one on the tv screen is awesome love it in that blue!
It's a great time to get an S8, too, for all the same reasons.
I've had a few sports cars in my day and have typically turned them over every 3years or so--until I purchased my '92 NSX 7 years ago. I have no plans to buy another sports car at this point--it's just too perfect.
I pulled up to a gas station with my NSX and the guy at the pump bowed down and said it made his day. Smile to my face :) I pulled it out of the drive way and my neighbor came over and said it made his day just looking at it, I drive a long the freeway and people take picture of it, my wife dives it to work and it was the talk of the day, when you have one, you'll know what I mean. If you're the passenger, just look around and see how many people turn their head and look at it, pure happiness and it happens everyday.
You let a woman drive your NSX??? O.o Shame shame
dKNIGHTj2112 lol
That's a cool story bro, I remember one day I was driving to school and I saw an NSX right by me and I was the only person attracted to that car and was paying attention to it, while the rest of the people didn't pay attention and instead were attracted to the Nissan GT-R in my school's parking lot that belongs to one of the school's teachers, it's just sad that not that many people from where I am from either know or care or been unforgotten about the NSX, you are lucky you get a lot of attention like that from people, I hope I get the same attention when I own an NSX someday.
I will get one one day too.
I'd buy an NSX! I'd stop by and give you guys a ride up there in New York. Good show guys. I'll keep watching.
Timeless car along with the supra, rx7 and the skyline just timeless.
This is actually a very good material for foreign car maniacs to study Engish.:)
love the way Mike Spinelli speak.
I just saw a red one yesterday in NYC. It's still a great looking car, love the red with black roof.
Hands down the NSX is super reliable! I've had 3... two over 100k miles and both drove like they were barely breaking in. I believe they're barely breaking in to be honest. My 72k mile drove like a brand new car, a little too stiff if that makes somewhat sense, while my 100k one drove amazing and revved up stronger each year. And I'm not specifically talking about suspension, I'm talking about overall performance.. Honda did a great job in 91-92 because these were the introduction cars imo..
Always love it when we get to see the classic car club manhattan guys. Get them in more they rock.
If you want a similar view and experience then you should really get the 3rd gen preludes from 88-91. cockpit view is superb, and handling is outright awesome with 4ws. Feels funny at first but you will love it. The only problem is dwindling aftermarket parts or lack of. Put some nice struts and springs and a new set of sticky rubber and you are set for some fun!!!
I have a 07 GPW S2000 with 17k miles weekend toy that I bought new. Garage queen, perfectly maintained, OEM+ parts, and other mods but have all factory parts as well. NSX is my dream car, while the S2000 is my reasonable dream car... and I love my S2000, keeping it forever. I've always played with the idea of selling my S2000 for a NSX since S2000 values are still fairly high and I can get good chunk of money for mine. After seeing this video, the question is should I really go through with it?
Genuinely think the NSX is one of the prettiest cars ever, it's such a simple, elegant design.
yes it was in 1997 and that same year they increased the horse power from 270 to 290. they also added ABS and power steering along with it.
Right! I've wanted one since Gran Turismo 1 and seeing one Downtown. I have so many sites with bookmarks. An thanks to this.. I'll never get one for a reasonable price.
I bought a 1st gen coupe with less than 20k miles on it recently and absolutely love it to death. Where is your office? If within 1 or 2 states away, I'd love to stop by. Enjoyed this video, thanks.
I should’ve bought an NSX 11 years ago when I was 15 instead of being a high school student and going to band practice.
its a must have car as a collector and casual driver.
