Why is this 2017 Acura NSX the BEST used supercar to BUY?

[@polarbear111000]

You hit the nail on the head: performance, style, reliability. Mine is build #1816 pictured left. I've had it for 1 1/2 years now through two Canadian winters as a daily driver with Pirelli Sottozero 3 tires in the winter. Its Bulletproof beautiful and reliable. What more do you want? Nothing can touch it....

I live in Newport Beach and I see Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s, McLaren’s and Bentley’s driving around on a daily basis. They’re very common around here. The NSX has such a presence.

[@martinfrederickatkins4321]

I'd think this nsx to be a modern day "xj-220". Both twin turbo v6 and are insane fast supercars that kick ass, despite being sales disasters, and being too different than people's expectations: this car not being the lightweight simple nsx of the 90s that people expected, and the xj220 not being the v12 monster customers paid for and expected. Both have similar performance and are cool cars that just plain kick ass. Still tho, i think calling it hsx rather (h for hybrid) than nsx would have been more appropriate and improve sales.

[@tommintchev6917]

Watching this in 2024. Bought a 2017 last summer. I love it so much 😍! Every exterior view is beautiful. Unlike the C8, which has an unsightly rear end. Just curious, what did you teach in HS? 🤔

I like Japanese sports cars, comparing them to American & German - they always offer up unique gizmos or tweaks that other sports cars don't always think of or have. the Audi reminds me a lot of the NSX or either way. it's fun to see you enjoying a test drive. - tony

[@mrgold3591]

I did some hot laps with the NSX at the Las Vegas Speedway with Dream Racing. It feels like it is riding on rails on the corners and it screams on the straight away at 130 mph. Being an extreme amature, I only pushed the NSX to 50% of its full capabilities. One of the few supercars you can use as a daily driver and drive it to and back the track as a weekend racer (Porsche and Corvette can also do the same).

[@davepaturno4290]

I drove the Ferrari 488 GTB and McLaren 570S at Exotics Racing in Vegas (5 laps each). That was an amazing experience.

He has done the same cars multiple times over. That's the downfall of his channel. He can only do so many cars...

[@O_Gio91]

Jace’s Own World yes that’s true, although he legit did this EXACT same car a few weeks ago...really the only thing I don’t like about the channel. For example, he’s ALREADY reviewed his own brand new GT350R about 3-4 times now, and probably over 15 videos of newer Mustang GTs going over the same things from one review to another. Granted, some of these reviews are comparing vehicles, although there’s no need to continue to go in depth of the same Mustang.There’s plenty of other cars out there to review and they don’t necessarily need to be the latest and greatest models every time. Love Joe and his enthusiastic reviews but a very redundant channel unfortunately.

[@leecotter1952]

@@user-dibribhsvj36d True, you get what you pay for! Look at the history, especially for those of us who have lived through it. Every corvette since the 80's was touted as having been vastly improved and was built in a special factory, yet recalls and class actions suits galore, just like you will see on the C8. No class actions suits on the NSX since it's beginning in 1990 and no Lemon law returns as far as I know. The Japanese companies do R&D for many years to the point that people complain about how long a model takes to develop. Chevy has "New and Innovative design" every couple of years because of a lack of R&D. Oh, and Chevy customer service good luck on that ! Love the looks of the corvette, if it's sitting in the garage under good lighting then It's a way better bargain than an NSX . If you just bought a new C8 (probably at 10K to 20K ADM), nothing personal I'm sure you love it, just make sure you have good lighting in the garage.

[@hakeemsd70m]

@@user-dibribhsvj36d You can't even buy 2 C8 Corvettes for the price of an NSX, not with the way dealerships are marking up prices. Average prices for C8 Corvettes in the Ohio Valley range from $80-$100K, and I've seen several used models that crested $100K.

I've never seen nor enjoyed more a review on this vehicle as the one you've just done Joe. I had to chuckle though while the camera was panning along the driver's side door and seeing an actual key lock!?🤭 What was Acura thinking?😧 As to the Frunk area, whoa! THAT area is packed! I think it kinda gives us idea of what to expect when GM comes out with their C8 ZR1/ZORA, or whatever the designation will be, in that it too will have electric motors, if not be all electric. I'll share your PBandJ sandwich, but I'm going to need some ice cold milk to go with it.🤣 If this had a C8 interior, WHOA! It would be pressing all the buttons for me! But as it is wouldn't necessarily be deal breaker, but even used, the price of it does.😢 Plus, with it having the electric motors and all the other Techno Wizardry, for that asking price, it would have to come with an Extended Warranty! I can equate the NSX to the I8 in that the NSX is another supercar that if you don't have an extended warranty, the buying it might very well be the cheapest part of ownership. Save the Wave🙋🏼‍♂️
