Sports cars have always meant performance - lots of braking, acceleration and handling wrapped up in a swoopy 2-seater body....

1995 Acura NSX Review Summary & Specs

The sublime sports car

Summary & Specs

reviewed by New Car Test Drive

There are sports cars that are more powerful and faster than the Acura NSX, with some sporting a lower price tag. And some critics have said the NSX's styling doesn't have the drop-dead looks of a Ferrari, although the NSX was clearly inspired by that car and is far less expensive.

But there are no sports cars that approach the NSX in its superb blend of performance, handling, civility and driving savvy. In this respect, the car is simply impeccable.

Buying a sports car is a very personal thing. There are all sorts of perfectly good reasons why a particular car will appeal to a buyer. In those subjective areas, the NSX might not equal a Porsche, Ferrari or even a Corvette. But on the overall excellence of the driving experience, none of the others can match the NSX.
