The NSX is a fun car to drive. The v-tech engine sits right behind your head, screaming in your ears, especially with aftermarket headers like the ones made by Comptech. The car feels stiff and "glued" to the road with quick but heavy feeling steering that requires alot of effort. Very difficult to drive with one hand on the wheel like most street drivers drive. In my opinion the NSX is tuned more for the track than the street unless you are a good driver with a at least a couple of driving school experiences behind your belt. It does not tolerate fools! When driven by a novice driver, the car will punish you! Snap-oversteer is abrupt and catches you by surprise! There are hardly any signs of traction limits, one moment you are cornering like you are on rails, the next you are sitting on the curb and looking at where you just came from with $5000 worth of damage to stamped aluminum suspension parts! If you are a good driver and know what the car can and can not do it is alot of fun to drive.
I would say it is the most reliable car out of all supercars out there. My friend bought a '92 in '94 with 25k miles. The car now has 75k miles on it without any problems what so ever, not even one! The mods for NSX are very expensive and not really worth the effort unless you are making a track car out of it. I would reccommend a good set of headers though, it gives you a "visceral" thrill somewhat of a Ferrari!
