I found it a good review, which nicely explains why the car is still good (or perhaps even gooder) drive today.

Yep a good read.

Although I hear one more NSX article which mentions Ayrton Senna, I may explode. Give it a f@#king rest guys!

IKWYM.

If you try to drive it without 1980s loafers and white socks, it won't start. That in AN PHACT.

Didn't you know that all NSXs were previously owned by Ayrton Senna too ?

Soichiro Honda CREATED Ayrton Senna Da Silva using lightning & Tesla coils and stuff. Another PHACT.

I'd love to own one, shame they're so expensive now.

Nick, was wondering in yours if you felt the need to replace all the suspension bushes / do a suspension refresh etc? Imagine with a 25 year old car it's the sort of thing which needs a look at? Just popped into my head when I saw they do an official Honda 'refresh' programme in Japan for the NSX!

Not really; Mine's only done ~75,000 miles as it's only barely a 15YO. I generally find Hondas start to go baggy after about 80,000, though less the case with the higher-quality cars (Acuras, usually). So it's just about run-in now.

The Honda refresh programme in Japan would be interesting for the older cars.

Though we have a captive ex-Honda guy called Kaz who knows the cars backwards and is the goto for that sort of thing.
