ACCELERATION
| T, man. | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 9 | 7.4 |
Smooth and exciting with manual transmission. Impressive with automatic, despite smaller engine.
FUEL ECONOMY
| T, man. | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 6 | 4.7 |
Excellent for a quick "exotic." Our 6-speed test cars averaged 19.1 and 22 mpg.
RIDE QUALITY
| T, man. | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 2 | 3.4 |
Firm but not punishing, although ride motions are choppy on rough pavement.
STEERING/HANDLING/BRAKING
| T, man. | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 10 | 7.6 |
Excellent grip, minimal body lean, but tail wag demands caution in fast tight turns.
QUIETNESS
| T, man. | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 4 | 3.6 |
Wind noise is low, but tires thrum on coarse pavement. Engine isn't too noisy for being right behind your ears.
CONTROLS
| T, man. | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 7 | 5.1 |
Easy to see, understand, and operate.
ROOM/COMFORT/DRIVER SEATING (FRONT)
| T, man. | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 5 | 4.7 |
Generous leg space, but head room is just adequate for 6-footers. Low build and long doors hamper entry/exit.
CARGO ROOM
| T, man. | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2.2 |
Trunk in rear holds several medium-size soft bags. No front trunk. The T's roof panel stores neatly on the engine cover.
VALUE WITHIN CLASS
| T, man. | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 2 | 2.5 |
Some may pine for more raw power, but if you've got the money, the NSX offers all the usual rewards of a true exotic with almost none of the usual drawbacks.
