Do you ever get the feeling that no matter how good these cars are, if they have a iconic name like NSX or Supra, people will hate them? The names seem to take on a larger significance than the cars themselves and no matter the product people seem to complain. The NSX went upmarket and is fast as shit. People said it is too expensive. Toyota partnered with BMW to make a small, relatively inexpensive sports car, and people say it doesn't live up to the Supra name. Can we just appreciate that these cars exist at all and are actually pretty good?
No, look at how Nissan handled the R35 GT-R. That's how you do a legend revival. Sure, it had its share of hate and criticism too but in its maturity, it's unanimously regarded as a car that revolutionized the super sports car segment. When you underpromise and overdeliver, people are happy. When you take a Z4 and slap a Supra badge on it and try to justify a 55~60k pricetag with 335 hp, people are going to boo. The new NSX, I actually really like though 👍🏻
I don’t know man. I love this car because it’s rad and actually made by Honda vs. Toyota dressing up a Z4 and giving it the iconic Supra name. That’s just awful and sac religious.
The NSX is different and Honda knows that but not many people do. NSX stand for New Sports Experimental and that’s exactly what this car is. It’s compilation of all the things that engineers at Honda could think of to make a great car.
They should've used a new name. The NSX and Supra name creates a certain expectation. If I have $100k to spend on an NSX, it will not be on this. I will get an NSX-R imported instead.
I think this car is a great super car. The fact that you can put your foot down all day long not have to worry about it breaking down or costing you a bunch in maintenance is something to consider. At this price point if you want something fast , reliable, fun to drive and not break the bank this is the car . Thanks Mat for a great ride along.

@@stefanfreestylez but isn't that why it costs $150K? I would have no issue with expensive cars if the price insured reliability, but currently there is an inverse correlation because people don't really drive these cars or keep them more than 2 years.
After driving and seeing the 2019 NSX in Orange, I sold my ZR1 to get one. It truly is way better than I gave it credit for. I jumped on the early band wagon and hated on it,like most, not actually driving it. I’m actually building a titanium exhaust for mine as well as a few little tweaks. It really is an awesome car. Good review and driving Matt.
@@KpopNiDontStop Exactly I don't understand the hate on it The new Supra I fully understand why people hate on it but this one I don't It demolishes everything aside from things like the 720s (what the fuck and howw the fuck did they do that)
I consider the New NSX a great car, but not an NSX. It would be nice if they released a bone stock non-hybrid version of this car. less power but lighter.
One of these passed me going the opposite direction on my way to work last week...the exhaust note was incredible. The stance was menacing. It was gorgeous in a beautiful blue. It has officially been added to my dream car list.😂😂😂
@@rickc2102 The GT-R35 always sounds great when you drive it for the first time or after a long time, but people who own them say the sound gets kind of obnoxious after using it as a daily for a week. Not as soothing as a straight-six in a 911.
RCXDerp I’m guessing he just had a lapse in communication, but it’s interesting that I think there’s more in common between flat and straight sixes than either has with a V6.
I don’t know why they are hating on the new NSX Sure the original NSX was created partly by the legendary Senna but it was ahead of its time in design and technology same thing with the NSX it is like a baby P1
@@BenTroxell It's okay. It only takes a couple years, or a new model, to make people appreciate these cars. But damn, that new Supra, man.. That thing is a work of art. I actually like it more than the old one. xD
Couple of my buddies put these cars together at the Plant in Marysville, OH. That's where I'm from. Most concentrated honda to other vehicle ratio in America hands down. Almost EVERY car in the city is a honda. Not even kidding.
@le m Yeah I know right. There's multiple foreign car models that are manufactured and built in the US, making them a US built vehicle, yet people wanna say their BMW X series is a German car... Lmao. But no its not bud, ALL OF THEM are made in good ole South Carolina, USA.
I've loved this car from jump, never understood why so many so called 'enthusiasts' shit on it so much. It's fast, well-built, handles on rails, has Honda reliability, priced fairly and is stunning to look at. What's not to like? The lack of front storage is a bit annoying, seriously limiting the road trip ability of this car, but I'd still put this up there with the 911 turbo, which cost significantly more.
Great video. Almost as if Acura said " touch on all of these great features of this car". I agree 100% of every aspect of this. Honda/Acura knows how to build reliable cars at every level, no question.
It's so bizarre to me when people claim the NSX is overpriced. This is an absurd thing to say. The NSX is one of the fastest and most technologically advanced cars on the road today. It performs as good or better than many cars 2-3x it's price. It will serve as the technological benchmark for other supercar manufacturers for years to come. What's wrong with some people?
Buh buh buh I can buy a Huracan or blah blah blah... People feel entitled to be able to afford everything Honda and Toyota put out. If they can't, they become butthurt fanboys claiming its not value. But apparently anything from Europe that doesn't perform as well is still value... Can't keep these folks happy. No point keeping them happy either.
At 160K, it's a lot more palatable. Still not a better or quicker car than a 911 Turbo IMHO, but at least the Turbo S to match some of the specs is more expensive (it's considerably quicker again than the NSX, if that matters). It's also just on the edge of 570S pricing, which is a sportier, quicker car as well.
@@SteveC-Shaman Reliability man. If you have owned any of these high end cars you either pay an upfront cost and have the car work with no issues or pay along the way once that warranty runs out. The McLaren for how fast it is falls apart in no time. Look at their forums. Those cars don't take on a lot of miles and yet have rattles, squeaks, stress fractures on the windshield to leaking coolant. Those are not issues I want to see within 10k miles. I can build a car to perform. Reliability is key if I pay that kind of money. Besides the 570S, 911 Turbo (great option), and R8 V10 Plus, there aren't a lot of other cars that come close to the NSX within that price range. We've seen the NSX take on the Huracan and put the 2wd version to shame. That's a 199k car. The AWD version starts at 270k. The 488 has been taken on and the NSX gives it a run. It's given the Aventador a run as well. For a first release this car is exceptional all while doing its job without failing. www.mclarenlife.com/forums/mclaren-570s/51089-troubles.html www.mclarenlife.com/forums/mclaren-570s/86073-570-s-wonky-electronic-problems-anyone-else.html www.mclarenlife.com/forums/mclaren-570s/92533-2016-2017-570s-problems.html Plenty of problems with these cars unfortunately. Not something I want to see when I shell out that kind of money.
If I could safely swing the price I would totally get this thing. I absolutely love how it looks and sounds. I know the car catches a lot of flak but it's genuinely a good ride. I've never driven this new one but I have driven an old NSX and that thing was kind of unimpressive. I love the old NSX but people who cry that it's not like the old car trust me you don't want it to be like the old car. That's like saying that you want the new Mustangs to be like the one from the Mid 90's. Old is nice but it's rarely better compared to a new version.
Funny you should say that about the first NSX. I have an '98 NSX that I've tweaked a bit and it's an absolute marvelous drive especially if you push it a bit. Have been driving a NSX since 2002, am on my second one now (crashed the first one at the SPA track) and have absolutely no desire to give it up. Would love to add the new NSX to the stable but with one kid already here and another on the way I won't be able to afford it for the near future unfortunateley.
What an awesome car. It's a shame it doesn't get the buzz it deserves. I saw the 2019 at the SF auto show and it looks stunning in person. Especially with the new exterior changes and wheels. It's not over-styled like other new cars these days and will definitely age well.
@zeroyon223 hey man. No I am not, unfortunately...( I've been really caught up in work, a lot of which is doing translations and voice-overs for Garage 54, if you've ever heard of them.
Acura/Honda sell plenty of them. It's meant to be a low production car just like the original. You don't see them often on road because most people don't daily drive a $160-250k super sports car.
@Chet Carson Over engineered garbage?... The NSX is one of the most reliable and daily drivable supercars in the world. Not to mention its an electric hybrid which is the direction the car industry is moving. German and Italian cars are the DEFINITION of over engineered lmao.
I am 48 and have been a honda fan since I was able to drive. I still own and track Hondas and would love to have one of these if my wallet would allow. Take the badges off and put a prancing animal and people would go nuts for it. Its a brilliant car from honda and a great part 2 of the NSX story
I know it doesnt always translate in video form, but Matt is really driving these cars pretty quickly. It constantly amazes me how fast he can drive these cars while calmly making thoughtful commentary. I would be shitting myself if I was going around canyon roads that fast.
One of the best super cars out there. The price is right for what it is and its reallibity from a Honda product should give anyone who buys it a peace of mind.
The price is much better than the original 200K sticker. 200K put it in Turbo S / 570S / Huracan / R8 V10+ territory where it gets slaughtered in performance, trim, and other benchmarks.
For 200k id rather have a porsche 911 gt car or turbo. Theyre most likely more reliable than this and def faster. And judging by market will hold value better.
@le m i dont trust your comment you know why? if you make 400k+ a year you dont own multiple supercars. At that point you buy amg, m and porsche. Supercars are for when you make real money. Nobody is buying multiple supercars with those kinds of earnings....ik someone thats made 300x that figure you mentioned and doesnt own a single supercar btw lol.
I looked at a 2019 NSX in the showroom, same orange color as this one. Sticker price $164,000. Salesman advised me it goes 0-60 in 2.7 seconds and has 540 horsepower. He showed me all its features. Black leather interior. An awesome car! Just wish I had the money to buy one. Oh yeah, the salesman said that if I finance it through Acura they knock off $20,000 right off the top. With a $5000 down payment, payments for six years would be $2800/month.
@@tyler9703 ya because it’s getting beat by the Audi R8, huracan etc.... They need to make the interior more premium and increase the power output. It doesn’t make enough power to attract more consumers. The NSX should be making 700hp minimum.
I love driving the new NSX but it is so different than my Long Beach Blue 2005 NSX. Stick vs auto, rear drive vs all wheel drive, hydraulic steering vs electric, fake sounds vs real sound. I think the new NSX will be a good buy once it depreciates to the $120k mark assuming it is still under warranty. I would not one to own one out of warranty, too complex, I feel the same way about my Mclaren 570s
I had a 2000 and a 2005. Still my favorite cars I’ve ever owned. Not the fastest , but the most balanced and by far the most reliable. Love the new one ,Going to wait a few more years to pull the trigger on a slightly used one.
Just bought one. Can't beat it for its look, performance, reliability, and exclusivity. With only 2900 made worldwide i think it will hold its value. The fact that Ferrari has legitimize the philosophy of the NSX with the SF90 also shows that it was ahead of its time.
I miss my 91 with supercharger at times, I did get 32/40 mpg, so what a difference. I had 335 rwhp. This orange is beautiful no doubt! I just wish they didn’t call it an NSX. I think that would have made a world of difference. Yes, I’m getting over it, but the initial hate killed this fantastic car is all I’m saying for us 10 year plus owners of the original unit. Great review. Your getting better with age!!!
seriously! i hate how it is somehow cool to hate on every new iteration of an old car and say how the old one was so much better. I get how the old one might recall some nostalgia of how some older cars used to be, but we are in a new world, things must move forward!
I've never driven an old NSX with power steering but the early ones with manual steering are kindof awful. "Heavy for the sake of being heavy" is what I would call it. If you are "on trend" you are going to shit on my position but go drive ANY Ferrari and then tell me heavy steering is mandatory for a great driving experience. It was bad enough in the old NSX that it completely took away any sense of confidence. Go check out Tiff's old school review of the NSX, EVO, and WRX in a cheap used performance car vid, he says the same thing.
While he was bitching about the new Supra on DWA podcast, he said that Honda fucked up with the NSX but at least they did not outsource its parts from another company. I don’t know what that guy wants because this NSX is fantastic!
@@gladdy02 and that is exactly the problem. You stated it perfectly making the point of the older generation of NSX fans. Just saying. I see your point and I also deeply agree with theirs
Matt, you are the preferred personality of One Takes! Others may try, but they’re not you and fall well short to deliver compelling insights and genuine charisma. Quality over quantity. Thanks!
Absolutely love this car!!! I have a '13 Viper GTS and a '17 Corvette Z06/07 and I am honestly trying to decide which one of them I would be willing to trade in on this car. I also own a MY2000 AP1 S2000 (since 2007) and I have owned many Honda motorcycles...........Honda rocks............just not in Formula 1.............yet.......(yes back in the day they did). Anyway, I'm lovin' the Thermal Orange, and the addition of the features for 2019. Still, GM has the C8 coming out sooner or later so I'll make the decision then. But, when it comes to supercar performance and reliability, you aren't going to beat this car. Period.....

I don't care what anybody says about this car that's negative. This car is extremely good-looking ,extremely fast, and extremely good to drive. They have only evolved with the times to make it a car of today not the car of 1991. I would love to have this car, it's one of my dream cars. It is so well set up and put together and reliable! I'm not usually a fan of the color orange on a car but this one is sexy as hell!
Anyone else having severe flashbacks from driving LA Canyons mod in in Assetto Corsa? Wondering how he makes it past the left hand turn the second corner after the tunnel, I always fly off there.
They said the same things about the nsx and everyone's loves it. now the hate has moved on to the Supra and the same will happen except the Supra is actually obtainable to the average Joe so it will be amazing to see all the builds
The first NSX generations still look ahead of their time and ahead of this model. 80’s and 90’s were truly the Holy Grail of timeless japanese car designs
le m regardless of this and that the cars first gens itself looked like your typical classic Lambos and Ferraris the type of car you’d wanna ride in grand theft auto. These modern models have a round confusing complex designs. However this NSX looks muuuch better than the complete modern mess Supra.
Go watch Vadim Dale do a review on the 2019 NSX, its freakin hilarious. And he's giving away money so that's always nice. You need to hook up with Vadim bro, you and him would be a classic duo.
@Ryan K already a subscriber to his channel. I laughed when I read your comment on him because he is really good and funny. He'll rule the car reviews in years to come.
It’s a very cool car. I appreciate any car company willing to create a special car for the minority of enthusiasts. I’m talking NSX, Supra, 86FRS/BRZers. Good on them.
Lots of people say this but what many don't understand is that it has to make business sense. Most cars that are released in both versions (auto and manual) sell way more automatics. The whole auto vs manual argument wouldve been valid 10-20 years ago when autos were just crap. But they have since really advanced.
I love how underrated this car is to the general public. That is great news for me because this is my dream car. I would have liked to hear more about the interior. Going into detail regarding the UI of that navigation screen, quality of the materials used for the interior, the digital odometer, steering wheel, blind spots/views of the road from the driver's seat, etc etc... To some, this is important considering the price tag of this car. Keep up the great content.
Interesting video and perspective, I think most people who watch these vids long for nice driving roads like your on. Keep up the interesting content and stay safe, Yeshua (Jesus Christ) is the way!
It's Honda of America, all the Japanese did was sign off and supply the budget. Also a chick designed the body and they didn't make a big social justice issue about it, and shove feminism down our throats. She did a damn good job. Plenty of great reasons to like this car.😀 The front looks a ton better with out that tacky chrome piece. Come on America stop putting chrome on super cars that shit went out with pop up head lights😩
I swear the new nsx is something else. People can hate on it all they want but its a technological advancement that Honda achieved. Deserves praise in its own right. Wish Toyota did the same with the new Supra. Its disappointing that its a BMW with toyota badge on it. Lets hope that the new Supra can perform and prove us old guys that grew up with the legend a reason to buy.
I'm glad you hit on the "door sill" part. It is silly (no pun intended?) but a perfect example of how impractical purpose built sports cars are, most are not that comfortable and I enconter many owners that get them as a meaningless status symbol. However, the NSX looks like a very well designed and built car that I would actually consider if they didn't cost as much as a house, though I have not seen one of the new ones in person. Sometimes I wish I didn't 'grow up' and still wanted to own a purpose built high power sports car. I did own a poor-man's-porsche, an MG, so maybe a Miata would do. After I got into fast cars+bikes, I realized fast doesn't do it for me but cornering (driving quick) does. The most fun I have had with SCCA and track days are in making a slow car fast. I think your video on the VFR powered N600 is a good example of that.
Honestly it's fairly priced for the tech put into the car...but the interior is what Biggs the fuck out of me...its a flagship supercar...make the interior special.
Ya but lambos are overpriced generally too (if youve been ina few youd know exsctly what im sayin)....and look how well they sell. I think its because of the brand. People just want the name. Id be guilty of it too right now if i was spending 200k on a sports car. Gt3, huracan, r8 those are all cars id pick before id pick this thing. Even though seeing these in person makes my jaw drop. Theyre sexy as hell. But the whole brand thing messes with everyones head trust.
This is how everyone should build cars in the future. A small gasoline engine, that gets around the short comings of being small, by the use of electric motors for short burst of acceleration. With the engine, you don't need a heavy battery like a Tesla, and the engine sounds good to the driver and also to the pedestrians that don't get run down by a silent vehicle. Also good for silent driving, like through quiet neighborhoods, and great for MPG averages with 0 emissions while creeping through stop and go traffic. It's astonishing to see one of these cars outrun, on a race course, another supercar that has 200 more horsepower, just because of the sophisticated traction control system on the NSX.
GTR is superior. GTR has better laptimes at MOST tracks. Better acceleration times with less hp. Better 0-60. 1/4. GTR has better mpg on the freeway. GTR has better coefficient drag. GTR has 4 seats and a huge trunk. GTR is only 50 pounds heavier. GTR is priced cheaper. I forgot which one has better braking distances. But I know reviews say they don't like the NNSX feel of the brakes.
The thing is can you counter any of those points? And try to justify the tech in this car?.... I will say in the real world i think the nsx beats the GTR everytime in a drag race or a 30-70 quick blast. Its running 10.8s fairly often whilst standard GTRs struggle to dip in the 10s
Idk why everyone hates this car. It's amazing in a lot of ways, and has one of the fastest 0-60 times of any production car (in the top 30 for sure). And it's a Honda so it won't break down all the time like a Ferrari. What's not to like? If I could afford it I so would buy one. I think people glorify the original NSX. It was a great car for sure, but this one is better in literally every measurable way.
Blue is the opposite of orange. Those colors pop best side by side. They are not colorblind. Same reason lamborghini uses purple next to yellow. They are opposites and pop
@Chet Carson I think it resembles a Ferrari and an Audo r8. And maintenance cost isnt a big problem. People who can afford this car can most likely stomache the repair costs
I think it is a fantastic machine, it definitely has the supercar styling and Acura's quality and tech. Great driving in those beautiful mountain roads Matt. It seems like you have just the right amount of interior engine noise but outside it is no where close to being loud or obnoxious. I wish I could afford one!
You could buy a GT3 for 160? I'd be curious to see if a dealership has one spec'd at its base price. Second, the GT3's 0-60 doesn't come close to the NSX. Good car, different purpose. The NSX isn't the hardest sharpest model around. First car, first attempt on this chassis. Give it time to evolve.
@@BrandonKent136 Good job gatekeeping. You're not a car guy if you're selective about other people's car choice. GTFOH with that shit attitude. The 0-60 time I pulled is straight from Porsches website. Are you telling me they don't know what the 0-60 of the GT3 is? www.porsche.com/usa/models/911/911-gt3-models/911-gt3/#c7fbu3dfz I and many other will get what ever the fuck we like and enjoy it.

??? Ive never heard another car that you hear a click when you hit the paddles. You can feel it but you cant hear it specially not through a damn mic lol
I have always really liked the new NSX when it came out a couple of years ago. Some of the new upgrades are welcomed for 2019 model year. I never understood all the hate and crying about this NSX. I mean you get Acura/Honda reliability, all you need to get done on it is simple oil changes, and you have a supercar that is built well, reliable and standard maintenance cost is no more than a Acura TLX. Is a $160k alot? Most definitely but inline with other cars of similar performance. Can I afford one? I WISH! The performance on this car is incredible. I hope they sell more of them this year.
yep, $70k less and it's still faster despite being 8 years older. the NSX is super meh for the price... and for $15k more you could have the GTR Nismo, which just destroys everything remotely close.
@@DylanTK nismo n-attack yes but thats like 200k extra.....regualr nismo mmmm not really. For example recent test with new m5 (non comp) did same straightline performance matching it dead on and only lost to nismo gtr around (i forget which circuit exactly) a track by 2seconds i think a 1.31 vs a 1.29 time something like that. Its old now. And while they have improved the r35 heavily since its release, there are supercars that can beat it these days pretty easily.
Im not arguing but lets not forget what an unbelievable car the GTR was back in 2007! It totally changed the game! Theyre clearly in a predicament now as to where they take the model! No way they can compete with the supercars anymore whilst still being affordable like the first one was
More one takes with you and not Zach please... I have tried to watch the ones that he does, to me he sounds condescending. Maybe in person it works better but though a camera it's unwatchable.
I'll defend Zach and his ride alongs. Matt solo is always good, though. They both have relevant commentary about the driving dynamics and other aspects of the car.
They both have a lot of relevant information about the cars they showcase. The problem is that Zach needs to do something about his presentation or stop doing the one takes...
Congrats on such a beautiful car. Michelle Christensen was the person responsible for the exterior look of the car. My opinion why some people hate this car is because a woman design it and in the automobile industry you know that's rare. Its a beautiful car and there is no way around it.
I own the NSX and I totally agree with you. The corvette is an incredible bargain. It’s only 10% less car IMO for 1/3 of the price. And in some ways it’s better even (storage room, sound ...)
over engineered and over priced. big flop and mistake. this car is designed by a woman, which explains why it looks so hideous. god that front end is ugly.
daniel zychniewicz sounds like you prefer the company of men, but I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that the NSX attracts more women than the Italian or German counterparts.
God I love this car. This feels like a tuner's wet dream. Not now but in 5 years, we're going to mod the hell out of this. I wouldn't be surprised if the most extreme modded NSXs started to reach current LMP1 territory around circuits. There is just so much powertrain stuff to mess with and I'm sure Honda would love to support modders! I'm glad Honda is sticking true to committing to building these cars (it's their halo car and a launching point for Honda performance) I really hope modders start to take it seriously. Also weight reduction would be nice

Good review and driving Matt.
Deez Nuts I’ve owned both and driven both. They are both cool in their own ways. If I could I would have both.
All the video's I see of it smoking people in drag and roll races showed me how amazing it is.
@@KpopNiDontStop
Exactly
I don't understand the hate on it
The new Supra I fully understand why people hate on it but this one I don't
It demolishes everything aside from things like the 720s (what the fuck and howw the fuck did they do that)
I consider the New NSX a great car, but not an NSX.
It would be nice if they released a bone stock non-hybrid version of this car. less power but lighter.
@@LHTPerformance Are they planning on releasing a Type R variant?
One of these passed me going the opposite direction on my way to work last week...the exhaust note was incredible. The stance was menacing. It was gorgeous in a beautiful blue. It has officially been added to my dream car list.😂😂😂
Unjustified hate. It's an amazing car. People cry simply because it's not a 1990's NSX. People can get over it.
Not to mention the loudest people are the ones that will likely never be able to afford one
@@ehjhey7 very true. People truly are something, aren't they?
Just like the hate for the new Supra
@@dominicancheif117 for sure! I think it looks great. People for some reason want it to look like a 25 year old model.
@gilbert martinez yeah my Only gripe is the ridiculous price.
I do like the V6 howl. Proper Honda sound.
It's a good-sounding V6, that's for sure. Not like the angry trombone Nissan seems to think sounds good.
@@rickc2102
The GT-R35 always sounds great when you drive it for the first time or after a long time, but people who own them say the sound gets kind of obnoxious after using it as a daily for a week. Not as soothing as a straight-six in a 911.
@@JAnx01 bruh what are you smoking where is this straight six 911 you speak of?
I think the sound is about the only thing I particularly dislike about the car. Dull sound with whine.
RCXDerp I’m guessing he just had a lapse in communication, but it’s interesting that I think there’s more in common between flat and straight sixes than either has with a V6.
I don’t know why they are hating on the new NSX
Sure the original NSX was created partly by the legendary Senna but it was ahead of its time in design and technology same thing with the NSX it is like a baby P1
Remakes of anything that is beloved is a surefire way to gather some unjustified hate.
MooCowManHG Like the new Supra.
@@BenTroxell It's okay. It only takes a couple years, or a new model, to make people appreciate these cars.

Couple of my buddies put these cars together at the Plant in Marysville, OH. That's where I'm from. Most concentrated honda to other vehicle ratio in America hands down. Almost EVERY car in the city is a honda. Not even kidding.
@le m Yeah I know right. There's multiple foreign car models that are manufactured and built in the US, making them a US built vehicle, yet people wanna say their BMW X series is a German car... Lmao. But no its not bud, ALL OF THEM are made in good ole South Carolina, USA.
I like OH already 😄
le m it’s still engineered in Japan and a lot parts still come from there too
F5C I wouldn’t say an x5 is an American vehicle
f181234 no not true. I pick up parts for MEI that’s hold parts for nsx in Marysville,Ohio . All parts are made in Ohio and Indiana
I've loved this car from jump, never understood why so many so called 'enthusiasts' shit on it so much. It's fast, well-built, handles on rails, has Honda reliability, priced fairly and is stunning to look at. What's not to like? The lack of front storage is a bit annoying, seriously limiting the road trip ability of this car, but I'd still put this up there with the 911 turbo, which cost significantly more.
Heck, insufficient frunk space is a hallmark of NSX.
His dad thing was a fucking lie
Better than Ferrari and Lamborghini in my opinion as far as reliability and cost
pfff anything is more reliable than italian
@@WanderingSword youd be shocked how a f430 is reliable
the newer huracans are alright but Id much rather have this
yes, but mclaren is better to drive when it starts up.
are you actually talking about reliability on a supercar?
Looks and sounds sensational..one of the most underrated cars out there. I want one in that spec!
Great video. Almost as if Acura said " touch on all of these great features of this car". I agree 100% of every aspect of this. Honda/Acura knows how to build reliable cars at every level, no question.
It's so bizarre to me when people claim the NSX is overpriced. This is an absurd thing to say. The NSX is one of the fastest and most technologically advanced cars on the road today. It performs as good or better than many cars 2-3x it's price.
It will serve as the technological benchmark for other supercar manufacturers for years to come.
What's wrong with some people?
That thing is blazing fast in the mountains, those flyby shots. Jeez
I'm such a huge fan of this car. I don't understand the hate this car gets. I'd easily rather have this car than many other cars in its price segment.
Surely you have the capacity to understand the hate AND like the car?
Buh buh buh I can buy a Huracan or blah blah blah... People feel entitled to be able to afford everything Honda and Toyota put out. If they can't, they become butthurt fanboys claiming its not value. But apparently anything from Europe that doesn't perform as well is still value... Can't keep these folks happy. No point keeping them happy either.
At 160K, it's a lot more palatable. Still not a better or quicker car than a 911 Turbo IMHO, but at least the Turbo S to match some of the specs is more expensive (it's considerably quicker again than the NSX, if that matters). It's also just on the edge of 570S pricing, which is a sportier, quicker car as well.
@@SteveC-Shaman Reliability man. If you have owned any of these high end cars you either pay an upfront cost and have the car work with no issues or pay along the way once that warranty runs out.
The McLaren for how fast it is falls apart in no time. Look at their forums. Those cars don't take on a lot of miles and yet have rattles, squeaks, stress fractures on the windshield to leaking coolant. Those are not issues I want to see within 10k miles.
I can build a car to perform. Reliability is key if I pay that kind of money. Besides the 570S, 911 Turbo (great option), and R8 V10 Plus, there aren't a lot of other cars that come close to the NSX within that price range.
We've seen the NSX take on the Huracan and put the 2wd version to shame. That's a 199k car. The AWD version starts at 270k. The 488 has been taken on and the NSX gives it a run. It's given the Aventador a run as well.
For a first release this car is exceptional all while doing its job without failing.

Plenty of problems with these cars unfortunately. Not something I want to see when I shell out that kind of money.
the hate is from poor people
If I could safely swing the price I would totally get this thing. I absolutely love how it looks and sounds. I know the car catches a lot of flak but it's genuinely a good ride. I've never driven this new one but I have driven an old NSX and that thing was kind of unimpressive. I love the old NSX but people who cry that it's not like the old car trust me you don't want it to be like the old car. That's like saying that you want the new Mustangs to be like the one from the Mid 90's. Old is nice but it's rarely better compared to a new version.
Funny you should say that about the first NSX. I have an '98 NSX that I've tweaked a bit and it's an absolute marvelous drive especially if you push it a bit. Have been driving a NSX since 2002, am on my second one now (crashed the first one at the SPA track) and have absolutely no desire to give it up.
Would love to add the new NSX to the stable but with one kid already here and another on the way I won't be able to afford it for the near future unfortunateley.
What an awesome car. It's a shame it doesn't get the buzz it deserves. I saw the 2019 at the SF auto show and it looks stunning in person. Especially with the new exterior changes and wheels. It's not over-styled like other new cars these days and will definitely age well.
I really wish that Acura could sell more of these.
@zeroyon223 hey man. No I am not, unfortunately...( I've been really caught up in work, a lot of which is doing translations and voice-overs for Garage 54, if you've ever heard of them.
Acura/Honda sell plenty of them. It's meant to be a low production car just like the original. You don't see them often on road because most people don't daily drive a $160-250k super sports car.
I know what you mean, but I'm glad its under the radar. Hope they do enough sales to justify the release of TYPE-R.
If people stop hating they would. Acura is been precaution and I don't like that. It's an awesome car for my opinion.
@Chet Carson Over engineered garbage?... The NSX is one of the most reliable and daily drivable supercars in the world. Not to mention its an electric hybrid which is the direction the car industry is moving. German and Italian cars are the DEFINITION of over engineered lmao.
I am 48 and have been a honda fan since I was able to drive. I still own and track Hondas and would love to have one of these if my wallet would allow. Take the badges off and put a prancing animal and people would go nuts for it. Its a brilliant car from honda and a great part 2 of the NSX story
41 and 1st car was a honda and still own two. This is a must have one day!
This NSX looks hella good in track orange
I know it doesnt always translate in video form, but Matt is really driving these cars pretty quickly. It constantly amazes me how fast he can drive these cars while calmly making thoughtful commentary. I would be shitting myself if I was going around canyon roads that fast.
One of the best super cars out there. The price is right for what it is and its reallibity from a Honda product should give anyone who buys it a peace of mind.
The price is much better than the original 200K sticker. 200K put it in Turbo S / 570S / Huracan / R8 V10+ territory where it gets slaughtered in performance, trim, and other benchmarks.
Acura also has a $20k dealer incentive so every car is $20k off. Get yours today.
That's why not selling bcz it Honda and paying $160k for Honda. Smfh
For 200k id rather have a porsche 911 gt car or turbo. Theyre most likely more reliable than this and def faster. And judging by market will hold value better.
@le m i dont trust your comment you know why? if you make 400k+ a year you dont own multiple supercars. At that point you buy amg, m and porsche. Supercars are for when you make real money. Nobody is buying multiple supercars with those kinds of earnings....ik someone thats made 300x that figure you mentioned and doesnt own a single supercar btw lol.
The car really grows on me, more & more I'm into it. Hope to see a Type-R version.
With all the new updates and changes I bet they'll sell at least 50 of them this year.....

I looked at a 2019 NSX in the showroom, same orange color as this one. Sticker price $164,000. Salesman advised me it goes 0-60 in 2.7 seconds and has 540 horsepower. He showed me all its features. Black leather interior. An awesome car! Just wish I had the money to buy one. Oh yeah, the salesman said that if I finance it through Acura they knock off $20,000 right off the top. With a $5000 down payment, payments for six years would be $2800/month.
I hope the Type R or NSX-R version comes out soon!!
Not enough units sold to justify it
@@tyler9703 ya because it’s getting beat by the Audi R8, huracan etc.... They need to make the interior more premium and increase the power output. It doesn’t make enough power to attract more consumers. The NSX should be making 700hp minimum.
Thank you for this review. Most of the people who had issues with this car have no idea what a well-sorted car sport it really is.
I love driving the new NSX but it is so different than my Long Beach Blue 2005 NSX. Stick vs auto, rear drive vs all wheel drive, hydraulic steering vs electric, fake sounds vs real sound. I think the new NSX will be a good buy once it depreciates to the $120k mark assuming it is still under warranty. I would not one to own one out of warranty, too complex, I feel the same way about my Mclaren 570s
What a troll. Fake sound? Sounds like a fake car owner who doesn't know anything about cars.
I had a 2000 and a 2005. Still my favorite cars I’ve ever owned. Not the fastest , but the most balanced and by far the most reliable. Love the new one ,Going to wait a few more years to pull the trigger on a slightly used one.
I think the NSX sounds much better than a GTR!!
Want one, no NEED one! What a phat car! Love the design, color, engine. Probably most reliable supercar made!

Just bought one. Can't beat it for its look, performance, reliability, and exclusivity. With only 2900 made worldwide i think it will hold its value. The fact that Ferrari has legitimize the philosophy of the NSX with the SF90 also shows that it was ahead of its time.
Solution to the wide door sills : don’t wear pants
I miss my 91 with supercharger at times, I did get 32/40 mpg, so what a difference. I had 335 rwhp. This orange is beautiful no doubt!
I just wish they didn’t call it an NSX. I think that would have made a world of difference. Yes, I’m getting over it, but the initial hate killed this fantastic car is all I’m saying for us 10 year plus owners of the original unit. Great review. Your getting better with age!!!
Somewhere in the distance you can hear Jason Camisa and a horde of his fanboys crying its not the old NSX.
seriously! i hate how it is somehow cool to hate on every new iteration of an old car and say how the old one was so much better. I get how the old one might recall some nostalgia of how some older cars used to be, but we are in a new world, things must move forward!
fuck them it's better😎
I've never driven an old NSX with power steering but the early ones with manual steering are kindof awful. "Heavy for the sake of being heavy" is what I would call it. If you are "on trend" you are going to shit on my position but go drive ANY Ferrari and then tell me heavy steering is mandatory for a great driving experience. It was bad enough in the old NSX that it completely took away any sense of confidence. Go check out Tiff's old school review of the NSX, EVO, and WRX in a cheap used performance car vid, he says the same thing.
While he was bitching about the new Supra on DWA podcast, he said that Honda fucked up with the NSX but at least they did not outsource its parts from another company. I don’t know what that guy wants because this NSX is fantastic!
@@gladdy02 and that is exactly the problem. You stated it perfectly making the point of the older generation of NSX fans. Just saying. I see your point and I also deeply agree with theirs
Matt, you are the preferred personality of One Takes! Others may try, but they’re not you and fall well short to deliver compelling insights and genuine charisma. Quality over quantity. Thanks!
Absolutely love this car!!! I have a '13 Viper GTS and a '17 Corvette Z06/07 and I am honestly trying to decide which one of them I would be willing to trade in on this car. I also own a MY2000 AP1 S2000 (since 2007) and I have owned many Honda motorcycles...........Honda rocks............just not in Formula 1.............yet.......(yes back in the day they did). Anyway, I'm lovin' the Thermal Orange, and the addition of the features for 2019. Still, GM has the C8 coming out sooner or later so I'll make the decision then. But, when it comes to supercar performance and reliability, you aren't going to beat this car. Period.....
Viper is special, keep that.

Love the car. Would like it more if there was a third pedal.
I agree but sadly it wouldn't be worth their time because no one would but it with a manual. Barely anyone is even buying the automatic
Lots of people say this but what many don't understand is that it has to make business sense. Most cars that are released in both versions (auto and manual) sell way more automatics. The whole auto vs manual argument wouldve been valid 10-20 years ago when autos were just crap. But they have since really advanced.

It's Honda of America, all the Japanese did was sign off and supply the budget. Also a chick designed the body and they didn't make a big social justice issue about it, and shove feminism down our throats. She did a damn good job. Plenty of great reasons to like this car.😀

I swear the new nsx is something else. People can hate on it all they want but its a technological advancement that Honda achieved. Deserves praise in its own right. Wish Toyota did the same with the new Supra. Its disappointing that its a BMW with toyota badge on it. Lets hope that the new Supra can perform and prove us old guys that grew up with the legend a reason to buy.

I can't believe that dink from Motor Trend didn't like the sound of this car. PSSH. Whatever... I love the sound of this thing.
2K8Si V6s sound the worst, I’d take the 458 over this solely on sound.. I’d take a Supra Over this over sound ok I hate most V6s lol
I'm glad you hit on the "door sill" part. It is silly (no pun intended?) but a perfect example of how impractical purpose built sports cars are, most are not that comfortable and I enconter many owners that get them as a meaningless status symbol.
However, the NSX looks like a very well designed and built car that I would actually consider if they didn't cost as much as a house, though I have not seen one of the new ones in person.
Sometimes I wish I didn't 'grow up' and still wanted to own a purpose built high power sports car. I did own a poor-man's-porsche, an MG, so maybe a Miata would do. After I got into fast cars+bikes, I realized fast doesn't do it for me but cornering (driving quick) does. The most fun I have had with SCCA and track days are in making a slow car fast. I think your video on the VFR powered N600 is a good example of that.
Great car, just way overpriced is why it's not selling.
Honestly it's fairly priced for the tech put into the car...but the interior is what Biggs the fuck out of me...its a flagship supercar...make the interior special.
Ya but lambos are overpriced generally too (if youve been ina few youd know exsctly what im sayin)....and look how well they sell. I think its because of the brand. People just want the name. Id be guilty of it too right now if i was spending 200k on a sports car. Gt3, huracan, r8 those are all cars id pick before id pick this thing. Even though seeing these in person makes my jaw drop. Theyre sexy as hell. But the whole brand thing messes with everyones head trust.
Overpriced? Did you watch the video ffs?
This is how everyone should build cars in the future. A small gasoline engine, that gets around the short comings of being small, by the use of electric motors for short burst of acceleration. With the engine, you don't need a heavy battery like a Tesla, and the engine sounds good to the driver and also to the pedestrians that don't get run down by a silent vehicle. Also good for silent driving, like through quiet neighborhoods, and great for MPG averages with 0 emissions while creeping through stop and go traffic. It's astonishing to see one of these cars outrun, on a race course, another supercar that has 200 more horsepower, just because of the sophisticated traction control system on the NSX.
GTR is superior. GTR has better laptimes at MOST tracks. Better acceleration times with less hp. Better 0-60. 1/4. GTR has better mpg on the freeway. GTR has better coefficient drag. GTR has 4 seats and a huge trunk. GTR is only 50 pounds heavier. GTR is priced cheaper. I forgot which one has better braking distances. But I know reviews say they don't like the NNSX feel of the brakes.
are you finished? did you unload on your keyboard after that?
The thing is can you counter any of those points? And try to justify the tech in this car?....
I will say in the real world i think the nsx beats the GTR everytime in a drag race or a 30-70 quick blast. Its running 10.8s fairly often whilst standard GTRs struggle to dip in the 10s
GTR is ugly though
r35 gtr is the ugliest sports car ever made
Idk why everyone hates this car. It's amazing in a lot of ways, and has one of the fastest 0-60 times of any production car (in the top 30 for sure). And it's a Honda so it won't break down all the time like a Ferrari. What's not to like? If I could afford it I so would buy one.
I think people glorify the original NSX. It was a great car for sure, but this one is better in literally every measurable way.
Yeah exactly. It's got the performance, and the looks, and the craftsmanship. Dunno why people hate on it.

@Chet Carson and it looks good. It's a sexy car just wrong nameplate.
@Chet Carson I think it resembles a Ferrari and an Audo r8. And maintenance cost isnt a big problem. People who can afford this car can most likely stomache the repair costs
I think it is a fantastic machine, it definitely has the supercar styling and Acura's quality and tech. Great driving in those beautiful mountain roads Matt. It seems like you have just the right amount of interior engine noise but outside it is no where close to being loud or obnoxious. I wish I could afford one!
Why not get a gt3 instead...
You could buy a GT3 for 160? I'd be curious to see if a dealership has one spec'd at its base price. Second, the GT3's 0-60 doesn't come close to the NSX. Good car, different purpose. The NSX isn't the hardest sharpest model around. First car, first attempt on this chassis. Give it time to evolve.
@@d1sturb3d119 well really, this one here is the second attempt, and first evolution. It sounds like they've been listening.
d1sturb3d119 yes you can. And the gt3s 0-60 time is quicker with PDK. You're not a car guy if you choose a nsx over a gt3.
** ** lol no
@@BrandonKent136 Good job gatekeeping. You're not a car guy if you're selective about other people's car choice. GTFOH with that shit attitude.
The 0-60 time I pulled is straight from Porsches website. Are you telling me they don't know what the 0-60 of the GT3 is?

I and many other will get what ever the fuck we like and enjoy it. Losers like yourself will spend their time commenting on whos a real car guy and who's not.
"My city/highway was only 15.8..."
said Matt as he unleashed hell around the canyons......😃
All that hybrid tech. Makes it heavy ,expensive and still has under 600hp. Why is it hybrid. What is gained
Yeah, look it up.
It's incredibly fast because of those things. What has it gained? Sounds like you have no idea how automobiles work.
“ doesn’t sound like much “ This thing sounds amazing 😱. I think my man has become numb to exhaust sound do to test driving hundreds of cars.
The clicking paddle shifters are a big no no.
What paddle shifter doesn't have a click to it?
??? Ive never heard another car that you hear a click when you hit the paddles. You can feel it but you cant hear it specially not through a damn mic lol
I have always really liked the new NSX when it came out a couple of years ago. Some of the new upgrades are welcomed for 2019 model year. I never understood all the hate and crying about this NSX. I mean you get Acura/Honda reliability, all you need to get done on it is simple oil changes, and you have a supercar that is built well, reliable and standard maintenance cost is no more than a Acura TLX. Is a $160k alot? Most definitely but inline with other cars of similar performance. Can I afford one? I WISH! The performance on this car is incredible. I hope they sell more of them this year.
Gotta say, I was NOT a fan of the initial new NSX but this one with its subtle cosmetic changes really makes it look 9000 better
I think a GTR is faster and costs less
yep, $70k less and it's still faster despite being 8 years older. the NSX is super meh for the price...
and for $15k more you could have the GTR Nismo, which just destroys everything remotely close.
@@DylanTK nismo n-attack yes but thats like 200k extra.....regualr nismo mmmm not really. For example recent test with new m5 (non comp) did same straightline performance matching it dead on and only lost to nismo gtr around (i forget which circuit exactly) a track by 2seconds i think a 1.31 vs a 1.29 time something like that. Its old now. And while they have improved the r35 heavily since its release, there are supercars that can beat it these days pretty easily.
Im not arguing but lets not forget what an unbelievable car the GTR was back in 2007! It totally changed the game! Theyre clearly in a predicament now as to where they take the model! No way they can compete with the supercars anymore whilst still being affordable like the first one was
Wow NSX in Orange with smoked colored wheels looks absolutely amazing.
More one takes with you and not Zach please...
I have tried to watch the ones that he does, to me he sounds condescending. Maybe in person it works better but though a camera it's unwatchable.
How many does Matt do? I haven't watched this channel since that new guy started. Does Matt do videos again?
I'll defend Zach and his ride alongs. Matt solo is always good, though. They both have relevant commentary about the driving dynamics and other aspects of the car.
@@maxnix346 - It's less about their commentary and more about their delivery...and Zach's _backpfeifengesicht_ lol
They both have a lot of relevant information about the cars they showcase. The problem is that Zach needs to do something about his presentation or stop doing the one takes...
Congrats on such a beautiful car. Michelle Christensen was the person responsible for the exterior look of the car. My opinion why some people hate this car is because a woman design it and in the automobile industry you know that's rare. Its a beautiful car and there is no way around it.
Can’t get a faster better looking car for under $160,000 msrp? Have you heard of corvette????
No one in cross shoppping a Corvette with this. Hahahah, nasty. It's competition is a turbo s, r8, 570.
Really? Sure it’s fast but it’s old school American shit at the end of the day.
I own the NSX and I totally agree with you. The corvette is an incredible bargain. It’s only 10% less car IMO for 1/3 of the price. And in some ways it’s better even (storage room, sound ...)
Porsche gt3rs i think certainly the regular gt3
@@AverageCarGuy The mid-engined one might chomp into NSX sales but that is far away
I'll never understand why people hated these. Honda couldnt make another old NSX AND have it meet safety standards. This thing is great.
this car is garbage
TVCH LORD yeah but you can’t buy one.
@@msengineeringdavid3702 i wouldnt buy one even if i could
Try driving one.
over engineered and over priced. big flop and mistake. this car is designed by a woman, which explains why it looks so hideous. god that front end is ugly.
daniel zychniewicz sounds like you prefer the company of men, but I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that the NSX attracts more women than the Italian or German counterparts.
I'm not a big "car guy" but i effin love this car. Dream car. Great video. Cheers from Ontario
It looks like a Hyundai.
They aren't selling them either
Not exactly a bad thing in 2019 since Hyundai has been hiring ex-engineers from BMW and the like.
@blacknester like a Scion
At least my Hyundai comes in a manual.
God I love this car. This feels like a tuner's wet dream. Not now but in 5 years, we're going to mod the hell out of this. I wouldn't be surprised if the most extreme modded NSXs started to reach current LMP1 territory around circuits. There is just so much powertrain stuff to mess with and I'm sure Honda would love to support modders!
I'm glad Honda is sticking true to committing to building these cars (it's their halo car and a launching point for Honda performance) I really hope modders start to take it seriously. Also weight reduction would be nice
The interior engine sounds are like my Ridgeline and I LOVE IT. V6 induction noises are great :D
