Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Reliable as a Honda Civic, midengine design provides superb balance and handling.

Cons

Too much money, too little horsepower, dated design, a much better version will likely become available in a couple of years.

What’s new

There are no changes in store for the 2003 Acura NSX.

Edmunds says

A 12-year-old exotic that offers competitive performance. Overpriced for what you get, though. Buy a used one and get virtually the same car without the depreciation.

2002 Acura NSX 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

The more I researched this car, the more I thought I'd like it, but I hadn't even begun to understand how much I'd have liked it. Driving this car is as fun as driving it for the first time every time I get in it. Truly spectacular. Worth the extra 30 thousand dollars over the Corvette -- this thing has *soul*.

My 2nd NSX

2002 Acura NSX 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

The thrill and performance of a Ferrari and the reliability of a Honda. This car can be a daily driver and it won't break the bank. This is my 2nd. NSX. My previous one was a green 1996. I sold it with 62,000 miles and the car was tight with no problems. I bought my 2002 with 11,000 miles. I wanted a red one and wanted the 3.2 and 6 speed. My buddy has a Porsche and he …

2002 Acura NSX 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

It's been 2 years and 17,000 miles since my last review of my 2002 NSX. This car has 28,000 miles on it and is amazing. I have not spent a cent on the car except for normal maintenance and an upgrade to a Comptec exhaust system. I didn't notice a change in performance, just a better exhaust sound. I just had an oil change and the tech said I still had 60% left on the brakes. There are no …

2002 Acura NSX 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

I'll take hand-crafted aluminum over American plastic any day. As far as performance, too many muscle-heads are fixated on size. If you want cubes, get yourself a Caddy with an 8-liter V8. The NSX is a scalpel and the Corvette is an axe. To join the legions of macho men that have the world looking at your tail lights, buy the Vette. If you want every twist and turn in …
