NSX: The Supercar With Honda Reliability
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- The Acura NSX (also known as the Honda NSX in some markets) is one of the few supercars in the world made by a mainstream company and the only one in current production made by a company with a strong reliability reputation. If you're the kind of person that wants a "daily driver Supercar" this might just be the right mid-engine vehicle for you.

I’ve driven a couple Lamborghinis, a couple Ferraris an Audi R8 V10+ and this on a track. This was the most amazing one. Grips like a Ferrari, rips like a lambo and its as easy to drive as an accord. You can see out of it, the a/c works, it has a trunk (technically), the fuel economy is decent, the stereo is excellent and it’s as reliable as any other Honda. Truly a criminally overlooked car.
Love this post.
You should buy one then 👍🏼
I think the NSX is rightfully a supercar well cut out for grand touring, if that makes any sense. Cushy, powerful, reliable, long driving range (for a supercar, anyways), etc. If I lived in the hypothetical world where I could be on some great American road trip with a supercar, I'd choose the NSX in a second.
Show off!
What if I told you that we live inside of a mildly moist coconut?
I would buy an Acura Nsx if I had the money. A truly underrated car that probably won't be appreciated until years after it is discontinued. You truly have to see it in person to understand how gorgeous it is.
Same here. It really is a special car. And good on gas to boot.
If I had 200K to spend, I'd wait for the Tesla Roadster, and I'm not even a fanboy. But with the roadster, you can daily it and drive long distances with Autopilot. A 200K acura without any ACC or lane keep assist for those long drives is not worth it for me.
@@joemcdonough7509 To each his/her own. Hopefully you'll get that Roadster someday. Best of wishes to you & your loved ones.
@@blackchang1981 *to each his own
Great review! I own an Acura NSX and although many reviewers say they creep up to $200K and start at $160K, I bought mine for $130K new. They are often deeply discounted and when you compare this car at $130K to it's competitors, it's a great value for a unique and rare supercar. Contrary to what the reviewer said, the NSX is much more rare than the McLaren.
Completely agree that deals can be had on these if you look around. These have been just sitting on lots and just don't sell and the numbers show it. Not sure why myself because anyone serious from the press who have driven one really like them.
The NSX is the Alex on Autos of supercars: Great performer, yet understated and reliable.
its not reliable and its the worst performing sports car over $100k
Dude, get your facts straight man, you're being ridiculous. Worst performing supercar over 100k? Where'd you get that? And you don't know jack about its reliability, nothing has ever come up and you certainly don't own one, so why are you being such a a know-it-all since you obviously have no clue what you're talking about? 0
Dropped out of the "German engineering" bullshit years ago. Went Japan and France and I finally knew what it really means to own a gooood car
@@retrocompaq5212 "its not reliable and its the worst performing sports car over $100k"
It is reliable and it performs way better than the competition since it is more than the sum of its parts. Eat your heart out.
@@WeeFreeMan78 Soon drop French as well then you will know even better.
I like the way Alex always put a song on the screen that is related to the car he reviews.
Easter egg!
He's missed a few obvious ones though. He reviewed a Jeep Cherokee a couple years ago and somehow missed the 60's classic, "Cherokee Nation" by Paul Revere and The Raiders.
He's a through back and one of the BEST on youtube.
@@Lledyl68
What's a "through" back?
@@ivanlowjones thought back to the past ?
I had a chance to drive NSX in 2017, it was simply the greatest car I have ever driven. On the HWY, cars in front of me just moved away when I approached, that feeling...
Passing prowess is an absolute thing
Alex, Compared to other 'RUclipsrs', you do a fine job of....... Keeping It Really Real®. As a treat to yourself, feel free to review a car over $100,000 once a year.
I would get the NSX. Would love a McLaren, but when you spend that much on a car, you want to drive the car, not see it on a flatbed all the time.
Many years subscriber, old NSX owner, new NSX admirer and future owner. This is one of the best reviews of this criminally underrated car. Big thumbs up.
Two comments: 1) the NSX is the only supercar that you could buy bone stock and be fine. There are no necessary options. Also most years Acura , has offered a $20,000 rebate to move units. This means the NSX , in terms of price, competes with a 911 Carrera S or GTS. Second, the NSX will be faster in the real world because this car literally has no turbo lag due to the electric motors. Also those motors mean that you can do as many launch controls as you want without any wear on the car.
Beautiful piece of engineering
Great job Alex!
I remember in April 2016 when you did the first video on the Blue 2017 NSX, which was about six months before I got mine later that year. It’s now six years old and love it every minute. Excellent job of explaining all the nuances of the vehicle. Thank you for revisiting the NSX. You are one of the very few people that I “follow” as far as vehicle information.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you
Hey Travis- How many miles do you have on your car? Still no issues? Thanks
@@jameswillard1 hi I have covered 21000 miles in the uk and never a n issue love the car smiles per mile
Gret video Alex. I'm actually thinking about buying an NSX, but now you have me concerned that I might be too small to drive the car. I'm 5'5" tall, and the last car I owned was a Gen IV Supra and had no problem in terms of the seat not allowing me to drive. The closest Acura dealer to me that even sells the NSX is 78 miles away and it appears that I might actually have to drive out there in order to determine if I can actually drive this incredible machine.
22:26 Good demonstration of fun-factor. Also, 94 feet (29 meters) stopping distance for a 3900 lb (1770 kg) car is completely ridiculous. If I were spending $200k on a car, there's no question I'd get a current-gen NSX.
It is important to have good brakes and tires if the car lets you reach high speeds quickly.
When the Corvette went from front engine to rear engine it went from a grand touring car to a super car, albeit a very affordable and comfortable super car that makes very pleasant noises. Before it was the "poor man's" Aston Martin, now it's the "poor man's" Lamborghini.
i’d say more like the poor mans ferrari if anything
no car is a supercar under 800hp but the vette is a way better car than the nsx, sale numbers proves it
@@retrocompaq5212 LOL! That's 90 percent of Supercars! In terms symplicity I'll concede that the Corvette Stingray is a better option, but in terms of what the car can do and reliability, nope.
Very likely my first lotto purchase!
Mine would have to be the Lexus LFA purely for the exhaust note lol
@@Wrathrix The LFA sounds amazing, but the price was ridiculous and the lack of serviceability. It's the opposite of the NSX's 'sensible-supercar' design.
so.. never
FACTS!
Alex, you look like a giant standing next to the venerable NSX!
Didn't know you watch AoA Kirk, cool
Yeah, when you see one of these in person, or most any exotic, they look as though they'd cut you off at the ankles.
im about to say the nsx looks small when alex stand next to him. usually that car looks really big.
Well obviously something is giant.
We WANT YOU to buy a supercar Alex - you deserve the best!!! Thank you for what you do!
Everyone says the Turbo S is THE daily super car and I wouldn’t disagree. But I think the NSX has it beat, at least on reliability.
911s are also known for reliability
Yeah, I know. But I think in the real world the NSX would reach 100,000 or miles with less issues than the 911.
911s are really reliable my uncle has a 2014 turbo s with 120k miles no issues at all never
@@THEsoulquarian
Porsche 911s are some of the most reliable cars on the road (don't confuse scheduled maintenance costs with reliability, they're different things)
@@CrazyWeeMonkey Yeah and even though the NSX repair parts say Honda on them, they're not cheap!
A supercar I'd love to own in a few years
Nissan GTR? Supercar by a non-supercar company?
🤷🏽
It depends on how you define things, but the Audi R8 is another. Audi had built some performance cars over the years, but nothing you'd call a supercar before the R8.
@@markmiller3279 audi is the same company as lamborghini. r8 is just a hurrican without the badge. however, if op is talking about brand, then yes, pretty much only r8
japan never made anything close to a supercar, the gtr is the only good japan sports car because its the only one you can boost to 1000hp and still daily like theres nothing, but build quality and design is so bad that its more like a mustang or camaro
@@scoot5642 r8 v10 plus is close to be a supercar but its not, the 720s is the less super supercar you can buy, anything under that is a sports car and if you cant beat a corvette its a touring car or a pos like anything made in japan
9:56 lol I love the new trunk animation!
Underrated machine!!!
Indeed. Just like the original 25 years ago.
Underrated because of most RUclipsrs reviews they should be charged
has been a flop
Thanks for sharing again Alex...
@@chadhaire1711 guess you have nothing better to do and no clue that will make this generation a collectable in 10 years if sales don't increase... Which by the way, these special cars don't sell like your Hyundai
My fav supercar! Also here in SoCal i see 1 NSX for every 10 wrapped McClaren
Underrated supercar yet I like it
under rated? has been a flop
@@chadhaire1711 right, we should all be buying CUVs; they're popular so they must be great...
@@entertained... NSX sales in 2017 580....sales in 2020 124....a sales drop of 81%.......nobody wants them ... do you know what FLOP means? Get on the web and look up EDSEL.
@@chadhaire1711 well just because people don't buy doesn't mean a bad car look at Mazda 6 or cx9 among a whole list of others. the fact that we can mention it in the same sentence as a Lambo and other supercars and not say that it pales in comparison and can really hold its own, I think that's a success in itself.
@@russelharley4607 I have driven one..you have not...it is not worth $200K....This is NOT what NSX buyers wanted..they wanted a tuner car to compete with the Nissan GT-R......this odes not on any level.
Should NEVER been called the NSX.
Most underrated supercar. Yeah it's nearly $200k, but everything will be working after 100,000 miles while the Porsches 911 will be dealing with high repair cost.
very few supercars ever even reach 100k miles because their owners don’t drive them that much. But also Porsche 911s are actually very reliable
I would argue that if someone has nearly 200k to spend on a car they wouldn't care about maintenance costs. As much as I LOVE hybrids, I would take an equivalent Porsche 911 over this. This car isn't bad (it's actually awesome) but it's expensive for what it is imo.
LOL 100,000 miles, the average supercar maybe gets 3,000 miles a year on it, going to be a long time before it gets to 100,000 miles.
no it wont
We have no idea if this will be reliable after 100,000 miles. If we have a couple of hundred of them reach 100,000 miles, only then can we speak to reliablity and total cost of ownership.
Not sure who is the better performer Alex or the NSX - both stellar and a joy to watch.
I loved the Honda S2000, and the flip flop lights NSX from the 90s. WOuld love to have of these too
pop up headlights is illegal since the 90's
@Beelzebot I almost bought one used back in 2010. Now I regret now having bought it. Darn. But how does one know which cars will turn into classics and which won't?
@Beelzebot I lucked up and got mine for $10K. The wife was none too pleased that I bought another car, but I was not going to let it get away.
Maybe not as groundbreaking as the original, but it's still gorgeous, the hybrid sys is innovative, reliability and maintenance costs is likely better, and it's still the "daily supercar" I'd want if lotto $ came my way... Until then, I'll keep rowing the gears in my old 97 Prelude SH, which also has dynamic torque vectoring.
Never say never, Alex! I could SO see you hitting those tree-shaded twisties in, say, an Audi R8. But you’ve got to love Honda for giving us a super car that would likely spend less time in the repair/maintenance shop. Thanks, as always, for a thorough and entertaining review.
12:13 - Nice touch! Tracy Chapman "Fast Car"
Also one of the best songs ever! Great lyrics, great voice, great everything.
Love the comment that "not enough of us subscribe :)". Always well thought out reviews and I appreciate your honesty. Personally I'd go for something more emotional for $200k. To me the NSX seems to lack that emotional appeal. For 200k I'd buy a new corvette + S600 ~ or just a S600.
Lowkey Alex might be one of the richest car RUclipsrs out there, he's just very humble and discreet. That property ain't cheap, he said he owns an engineering firm there in California and his parents own a cattle ranch in Texas, he can probably afford a Chiron. LOL. Don't know if anyone can touch Matt Farah though, Manny might be the closest.
22:28. Alex’s obsession with power, thrust and acceleration at its peak 😆
I wish Toyota would keep making the LFA.
the lfa is waaaaay to expensive to make, my understanding is that lexus didn't make a dime.
japaneese dont know shit about sports cars, thats why you can buy a simple shitty mustang and be faster on a circuit or get a $60k vette and be even faster
@@retrocompaq5212 The NSX and LC500 would out corner the Corvette and Mustang all day long. The Corvette Stingray has understeer built into it, and the Mustang is still prone to oversteer. NSX torque vectors to control yaw. Yes the Corvette come with a torque vectoring electronic LSD, it still understeers. LC500 comes with all wheel drive and all wheel steering. Simply put Japanese cars would drive rings around a Corvette or Mustang in tight circuit.
@@retrocompaq5212 they don't give a shit because they have made many achievements in the past. Feel free to buy any Japanese car and you boost it up all you want.
People around the world respects Japanese car manufacturers but not American car manufacturers because of reliability.
The option packages are crazy. Go standard package and call it a day.wow
NSX reliability is actually unproven because so few are out there (how many Ridgeline owners buy sports cars?) and it doesn’t use existing Honda internals. If you want a proven reliable supercar, get the 911. The price as-tested competes against the much faster 911 Turbo while the regular 911 S/4S is substantially less expensive, just as fast, and can be had with a manual.
Funny you say that...there are 2017 NSX'S out here with over 80,000 miles on them that have not had a single issue. With a simple JB4 tune they go 10:40's at over 133mph on regular street tires. I actually own one and people who just parrot information about them without ever spending any meaningful time driving one have absolutely no idea! Better for us who actually know!
@@hermannstolzenberg5728 Oh yes an aftermarket tune to be about as fast as a stock 911 Turbo S. Congrats?
Have you ever even rode in one much less driven one?? Only Homer's talk without any personal FIRSTHAND knowledge. And just so you know there is a GT2-RS in my family and we all prefer the NSX as a usable street car. What car do you ACTUALLY OWN?? .....I actually love Porsches as well and will add a GT3 or GT3-RS to my stable but the NSX will be staying. Much better car that you would believe.
@@hermannstolzenberg5728 Must be tough to be a Honda owner. Always feeling the need to justify to strangers than your Ridgeline is a real truck, your NSX is a real sports car, and your VTEC produces torque. I have driven a number of exotics (458, Huracan, 570S, AMG GT-R, 991.2 and 992) although not the NSX. From my experience, no exotic is worth the extra money over the 911 unless you are going to the racetrack or you need to show off on social media. And automatic race cars are not the experience for me, even 911s with PDK, because they are exquisitely uninteresting to drive on the street. I'm the heathen who will go for the 718 Cayman with a manual next.
You know a car has tons of power when Alex's swearing
Nah, I've heard him say 'bat shit' a few times before.
HaHa. 😜
Love the graphics on your review. Very thoughtful unless ur just bored. 😆 Great review. You could mention that at base price you still get everything the Nsx has to offer. That would be a steal comparatively. Thanks
Yes, Alex !!! We would love the super car segment or category on you channel. Thanks 😊
Yes, IMHO, the new Corvette is definitely in the "supercar" class--and, for what you get for your money, simply unbeatable! Thanks for another great review, Alex!
I believe that’s where I’d put my money
anything under 800hp and million buck is not a supercar, the vette is just a good sports car, the nsx is a bad sports car, that why nobody buys them, thats why japaneese sports cars sales is a disaster, they cant build great sports cars, first gen nsx was close to be but the engine was so weak and brakes so bad that the car was slower than a slp firebird on a racetrack
Says the man who drives a turbo charged shit box death trap ancient Ford. You should listen to this man, he knows his shit people....
Corvette is a sports car not a supercar but its an attainable high end sports car.
its basically a porshe 918 at a fraction of the price....the car is amazing....,yes ive driven one.
08:49 “I’m 6’ tall and if you don’t like having your legs up in the air...”😂
Okay I’ll buy it
Terrific stuff as usual. Did notice a rare editing mistake in the seat section.(Gasp!)
Thats funny you posted this. Im on the fence on a 911 built to to the SAME price as the NSX w/ a few options... I just am not sure. And for the rest of us we dont get a chance to test this before buying. For one there are no NSX's new on the lots here and if there were they would laugh in your face. So order one right? Sure 6 months to deliver im told. Yikes! Meanwhile the Porsche dealers are filled up to capacity on build orders. The NEXT slot im in for is May for a Sept deliv if i go 911. Its stupid on both ends.
holy crap! Alex's subtle tie in with the Mountain Garden!?!? RUclipsrs take note! Also-- killer car!
Mr. Dykes, as an owner of acreage in the Santa Cruz mountains, as well as a successful business owner, I'm certain you can someday "cash-in" on some of those assets to treat yourself to a supercar. Then again, you already have access to so many vehicles, it's like always going out on an exciting date without the commitment. Yes, enviable!
This is a unique and brilliant car, just like the first one. It's ahead of its time. Think about all of the engineering challenges they must have faced to put all this tech together and make it seamless with world class performance. No one else has done that. Hat's off to Honda. Arguably the best auto engineering in the industry.
and the biggest flop ever....nobody wants it..
@@chadhaire1711 So what? Why are you so obsessed with a flop? Lots of cars are unsuccessful - that in no way makes them bad cars or uninteresting. Supercar buyers are superficial. They care about brands and 0-60 times
Nice to the infotainment center has much in common with my 2018 Honda Clarity 😀. That could be good or bad lol. On a different note, I recently spent some time driving the Ford GT and I was surprised it drives very smoothly In stop and go traffic similar to your perception of this. Great review. Thanks as always.
Excellent review as always
If I had the money I'd probably take one of these over the competition. I've only seen two of these on the road whereas a 570S, 911, even an i8 aren't uncommon sights where I live.
Supercar buyers almost never look for what's "sensible." They're buying their childhood dream cars or simply buying a car they happen to like something about. I think this is also why we have such a huge range of supercar looks and capabilities. It really allows the designers to do what they want.
Every time I see this amazing thing I wonder what a second crack at the CRZ would look like.
As a CRX owner, I really wanted to like the CRZ, but I think that they forgot the one of the key features that made the (2g) CRX amazing, storage in the hatch and the quick, punchy revs of the engine which made the car really nimble and feel quick, and the MPG. I would not kick a CRZ out of bed, but I could not justify spending on a new CRZ when I have two CRXes. Only thing the CRZ really had on the CRX was tech and safety.
@@tenoki Apparently the CRZ was originally meant to have two powertrain options, and what it got was the lower power one only. Apparently the originally planned higher power system couldn't meet some sort of safety test. Makes you wonder.
Honestly, I almost think it needs to be an EV. As much as I prefer the hybrid flexibility, it's just too hard to get performance capable system into that small of car. There's always the option of "Civic with a different back", back frankly I think that misses the point of the car with how big Civics are nowadays.
@@cpMetis i agree. It would have been nice to eitger be an Si or an ev. I get what they were trying to do but they should have figured out how to hybrid assist a k20 or k24 at the least if they wanted to push a "sport" hybrid. Still was a nice car if you did not have the predecessor
@@tenoki Yeah. Part of why my dream future lineup would have both - a proper CRX successor and a CRZ successor.
A sporty econobox and a zippy EV could reasonably share the same chassis fairly easy if planned for well enough.
@@cpMetis Agreed. I want Honda to release an EV CRX so I don't have to convert onr of mine.
Alex great review of the NSX, however I must correct you on one thing. There is a bottom on the backside of the trunk lift of the tailgate to open it. It is electronically actuated.
I'd buy it over the competition. It's amazing. Totally overlooked
the 911 turbo and audi r8 are pretty much better in every way
Holy moly, what the heck is this?! LOVE IT!!!
Best trunk comfort index ever!
Funny, I thought you had well over a million subscribers, like 1.5 & maybe not that surprised if you had a little over 3M. I'm shocked that you haven't broken 500 yet
Nsx, lc500 then the gtr..the Japanese monsters. You can get the lc500 for 60k now, still alot for the avg person but attainable.
We’re all hoping to fix the discretionary NSX budget issue. :) Dermatologists are an easy go-to medical specialty for hypothetical ownership situations. I’d love seeing you as an NSX owner. All of us, frankly, need one or one of its competitors. I think I’d likely buy a Mercedes GT-R coupe. I love the NSX, but that Mercedes makes me drool.
Did you just tap the spoiler on $197,000 NSX after saying it was worth 2.7 Corvettes😱
Honda has the smoothest regeneration braking.
Excellent review and balanced in terms of what it is actually like to drive.......many thanks
I wish Honda had performance in the 50-80k segment
The 377hp RLX sport hybrid was a sleeper.
2021 Acura TLX Type-S is coming out in May 2021 at a price range of $50K to $60K.
@@DESmoRASHAD yeah but thats super underpowered for a 50-60k car. Pontiac G8 GT's had the same horsepower and weight over 13 years ago and they were half the price. 360hp for a 3900 pound car is really bottom of the barrel for performance sedans at that price point... it's competing with an M3, CLA45 AMG, etc
@@sly9263 Horsepower doesn't really defined a car's performance qualities....IMO. There are new applied technology into these new generations of Acura. I will wait for the TLX Type-S to be released before criticizing it.
@@DESmoRASHAD you're right I suppose- there is more to it than that. I still feel its pretty underpowered from that viewpoint, which is still the gold standard/first thing you look at after seeing the word performance tied to a car. I would be happy to see it turn out well
I would buy it over most other names because it is unique yet with a daily driver vibe to it. I can play with the big boys for less and still keep them on their toes and at the same time change the oil myself without a garage mucking with it.
FYI, there *is* a button to open the rear lid.. it's a small button on the right side of the reverse camera
Reviews and the associated graphics are a great upgrade on car reviews...excellent
Excellent review!! Build #1816 left 😁
I love the balance of the NSX. The price is about right for the times. Also for its intended audience. This is never the high volume car ever. That is how exotics roll anyway. I would love an NSX. But I cannot discount the new Corvette. I love the refinement and engineering of the NSX. I think it will out handle the Corvette. I love V8s if the means are there. Though that V6 at least on your video is mighty good. The Super Handling All Wheel Drive is epic. $200,000 is quite a commitment, and I don't know where my heart says about that, but my mind and analytics say if I had the money, sign me up.
Apparently noone who has enough money to buy it agrees with you. Honda is ceasing sales of 2020 NSX and had sold 9 NSX by Jan 2020 which is a sad number even for a supercar. They discontinued NSX in Australia after selling none last year and 3 in 2019. I'm sure if you had the money to actually buy NSX, you'd be looking elsewhere. I would not spend 200k on a car that looks like the new NSX regardless of how well it performs for the money.
These things sound Incredible with Catless downpipes 😍
Let's not forget the Honda Prelude! Everyone wanted one and it had as much buzz as anything on the road.
nobody wants an NSX LOL
@@chadhaire1711 lol
Absolutely superb and beautiful sports car of all from old to new.
Favorite Honda NSX !!!
forgot to mention it is hand built and has a totally different custom paint job at the factory vs any other car on the market for 160k
who really cares about that? lol
If a had 200k to spend on a supercar, pretty sure the NSX would be top of my list. But thats only because my '50k budget mind' tend to look for things such as reliability and efficiency when purchasing a car. The people buying cars in that segment are more concerned about the badge. And thats this cars biggest hurdle.
True, but it also typically means massive depreciation, so wait a couple of years and it will be a bargain.
for hybrids, this is hard to compete with, this is the car to own versus the hybrid supercars coming out now (very late)
Looking at your Vehicle Size chart, I see one labeled Lamborghini. Is that an Aventador or Evo?
In this price range, more likely the Huracán.
I own a '17, in Nord Gray with the Orchid interior, and picked it up used last year for $125K. It has the Science of Speed downpipes and exhaust for extra noise, and will likely get their aftermarket rear carbon fiber spoiler lip. I love the car, but wish it had a better infotainment system. It works, and supports Carplay, but it's slow and crappy. The car needs help with it's audio system (there's no real bass), and could use ventilated seats. But those are minor complaints compared to how the car drives. Driven hard, it brings sheer joy. It's also a fantastic conversation starter. Oh, and week old hardened chinese food sauce comes right out of those seats, with no effort. (Yes, I actually do daily drive the thing.)
Other thing to notice about the rear trunk is that it's bordered by both exhaust downpipes, so it gets quite hot in there. Don't put your ice cream groceries back there.
Alex I will forgive you about the car only reviews under $100,000 only if you show up at my front door with this NSX and let me test drive it.
The most Underrated supercar of all time.
its not a supercar, its a bad sports car since it cant even touch a corvette
@@retrocompaq5212 it's faster than the C8 in the 1/4 mile.
As well as dodge
Given the Honda reliability that comes with NSX , to me it’s hands down winner in the price range , it looks like a blast to drive and the look is stunning it has that growl as well , they don’t sell more because ppl want the prestige badging , and that should not be a reason , same philosophy goes with YETI coolers and many other things in life, but in my opinion their is no better fun car for the money . H9nda update that screen and give it new burl switches inside , not much money and would bring the interior up to par . Great job Maryville , Ohio !
LOL, That trunk comfort graphic! FTW
I'm surprised they haven't updated the battery pack and electric motors to get even more power the past couple of years. They could easily get 50hp more and even more instant torque.
Given how few they sell it would be wasted money.
@@markmiller3279 I think partly why the sell so few is the spec. If they could increase performance and update the interior... it just feels so close to being amazing. If it was $120k or had better performance...
Nice review! Not that it matters, but there is a button on the outside to open the trunk.
Huge fan of both NSX generations as it's my all time favorite car. So if I had $200K, I'm biased towards this NSX over the Euro exotics out there and this car is still considered rare since it unfortunately hasn't sold well though that just means it'll be more collectible in the future. Also Alex is the only reviewer so far to say those honeycomb vents inside are functional if you set climate to Mid. I always loved the little things Honda does that are practical in all of their cars. Some reviewers don't know what it is.
Firing up the NSX is somewhat unsettling because it doesn't have a conventional starter. Rather its engine springs to life like many other hybrids, using the big sandwich motor-there's no chin-chin-chin sound first, just the sound of the V-6 lighting off. The engine's note isn't particularly loud or distinct, except that with the exhaust baffles closed, the exhaust air squeezing through the mufflers sounds almost like a cigarette-lighter-powered tire pump.

Finally a review where Alex cant help but giggle.
I would take this NSX over any McLaren
I will buy second hand when dépréciation hit! Sorry for my french corrector...
Tech, comfort and luxury looks like of 2012 model super car. super car should have best advanced tech in market period as they are most expensive vehicle from manufacture.
It's costly and a very bad financial decision, but I hope Honda will update the NSX since it's their halo car. They're successful in motorsports, so not having a halo car that is competitive is pretty unfortunate. Especially with Lexus bringing out their redesigned F Sport Performance models starting with a V8 IS (not an F).
Come on Honda, just give it a flashier interior, new infotainment, and some weird lines in the front and rear.
I think the front could definitely use a redesign. It's a muddle of too many slots right now and needs to be cleaner and bolder.
I will get the old NSX just for the simplicity of it. The new one is just too much "Car drive you".
If I need a modern car that drives you, I might as well get a Tesla, which is actually simpler than the new NSX.
I would get the Lexus LC.
Surprised the the LC500 is not mentioned while talking about i8 and Corvetes and Fords.
Its worth the price but some people aren’t ready for a $150k Acura
I am ready.
Good job Alex! Another great video.
That piece of paper on the windshield at the end reminds me of all the tickets you're gonna get if you have this car!
Sadly people are still scoffing at the NSX. Given that, it's a pretty significant reason why Acura's redesigned MDX is unavailable as a hybrid.
Its got Honda reliability... and aged infotainment system
LOTTO win, this is my first purchase.
counting the -days- years until i can own one...
