NewCar101.com Car Review:: 2005 Acura
NSXAcura's two-seat sports car remains a thrill to drive,
despite the age of its basic design, which dates back to 1991.
Updates have helped to keep it contemporary so this newest NSX
still delivers exotic car performance with little of the fuss
traditionally associated with this vehicle class. The NSX is
spectacular at track events, which are the only venues where a
driver can legally tap its full acceleration and handling
capabilities. Yet, the car also can be driven in gridlocked
traffic with the air conditioning on without protest. Buyers who
opt for the sequentially shifted automatic transmission end up
with a smaller and less powerful engine than buyers who choose
the six-speed manual, but acceleration is abundant with either
drivetrain. Conclusion: The NSX is a wonderful sports car. Some
buyers in this class want more than a V-6, however, and low
sales volumes continually stir rumors over the car's future.
Think twice, however, before allowing its untemperamental nature
to lure you into making this car your daily driver. Parking lot
dings and nicks in the aluminum body work will be expensive to
repair.
