Great cars. My only real dislikes were the lack of cabin storage space (silly, but honestly... not having enough space for your wallet, sunglasses and garage door opener gets old after a while), and the attention the car got.
wallet goes in your pocket, sunglasses on your face/head, garage opener on the visor...I don't see the issue..seems no different than the S

So you want to go from a 8 year old played out car to a 18 year old played out car that costs 2X more?
u never had a chance to touch the most incredible handling car.
the first time i sit into it. my friend test the one that i bought because i couldn't drive manual tranny well. although i sit on the passenger seat, i suddenly decided to purchase it. u will understand what NSX is u if u have a chance to drive it. not S2000 can compare to.
I love mine with the FI, but even stock its fantastic. for heavy track use, upgrade the brakes, other than that I love it.... www.nsxprime.com The car is not twitchey at all and rarely comes on even at the track ( note to self, drive faster ).... The only downside imo, is on the street when a lightly tuned WRX or evo can hang with you or in some cases smoke you. That being said, there is no car other than a GTR that I would buy for 60-70k. The porsches are fun, but just no quality IMO, Vette is awsome, just not my style.... not much else I would look at other than stuff 50-80k more in price
An NSX is definitely the next car I am adding to my collection. I am not particularly fond of the rear end, but it is otherwise a beautiful car. It should take a beating and beg for more, unlike many other cars it compares to.
Drive one. See if you like it. If you are serious about buying it then do a PPI.
I luv my NSX. But if I was going to spend $60k in today market, I would probably spend a bit more and get a 996 GT3 or get a Z06(Scot is selling one for $61k ). Now if you have always dreamt of owning NSX(like most of us Honda fanbois) then it should be a no brainer.
It seems that for a budget supercar the NSX fits the bill nicely . Years ago in Car and Driver there was an article about the NSX titled "The Best Sports Car in the World that nobody bought" and just a few months ago there was a sports car book with the article "Exotics you can buy for the price of a new Camry" . The NSX was the only one that had a low cost of ownership!
I wonder as an S owner would the NSX be close to the same Experience?
Second how does the NSX do in the rain? Skittish or not? Confidence or not? What tires to run?
Third how does the Targa top do ? To much wind or just right?
