Reviewed by: pporter Year: 1997 Model: Acura NSX Price Paid: $51000 at Premier auto

Summary: This is my second NSX, my previous on was a 1995 model. my next sportscar will probably be another NSX. There is not another civilian sports car made that can compare to this one. Are there faster cars from 0-60? Sure! Are there equivalent 0-60 for less? You bet! But there is not one out there, NO NOT ONE, that can perform at ALL levels like this car for the price. Porsche? Fun to drive, but beats the crap out of you every time you run it. The NSX rides very comfortably while still providing amazing performance. How about a Ferrari? Maybe, but take a 2nd mortgage out when it needs a repair. Can a Corvette beat it? Maybe, but they are a dime a dozen. The NSX has the "wow" factor every time I take it out for a spin. Can a Mustang beat it? Doubt it, but if a souped up one can, does anyone really care? It is still just a Mustang. Most people that can afford to buy an NSX, can afford to buy most any other car, but they choose the NSX. It is the total package sports car exotic.

Strengths: "Wow" looks, amazing powerband, handles like it is on rails. Acura reliability. Best bang for the buck in looks, ride, and performance.

Weaknesses: Everyone wants to touch it.
