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 NSXstill delivers exotic car performance with little of the fusstraditionally associated with this vehicle class. The NSX isspectacular at track events, which are the only venues where adriver can legally tap its full acceleration and handlingcapabilities.
Yet, the car also can be driven in gridlockedtraffic with the air conditioning on without protest. Buyers whoopt for the sequentially shifted automatic transmission end upwith a smaller and less powerful engine than buyers who choosethe six-speed manual, but acceleration is abundant with eitherdrivetrain. Conclusion: The NSX is a wonderful sports car. Somebuyers in this class want more than a V-6, however, and lowsales volumes continually stir rumors over the car's future.Think twice, however, before allowing its untemperamental natureto lure you into making this car your daily driver. Parking lotdings and nicks in the aluminum body work will be expensive torepair.
