TheStraightPipes The NSX seems like the “no stress” supercar. I like it!
Waiting on the LC F to decide the best Japanese supercar...
I’d buy a turbo S
Yes. You had me at ‘comfy seats’. Done!
Definitely an awesome car for the price. I think it's worth it, because it looks like you can adjust it to your driving enthusiasm for that day. Other super cars seem like they're mad at you if you drive them normally.
Also - Sorry for the audio crackles. Our audio system screwed up on a few videos. We've purchased new equipment after filming this video. Sorry. We're trying our best
In editing, match the audio crackles to exhaust crackles of the 'chase/camera car' and call it an "award-winning special effect". Or by crackle, do you mean that high pitch sounds like you are revving it but forgot to put it in gear, or your neighbor is cutting plywood with a circular saw, like around 2:13 ?
Yurriiiiii
Really messed up on that track lmao
I thought my cp's speakers are broken haha
U guys are great!
Acura has their NSX, Nissan has their GTR...Come on Lexus, bring us another LFA (LC-F will do just fine too). Great reviews guys!
An LC-F has already been confirmed
Yes sir. Watch my future Lexus vehicles video for info on it ;)
NSX and GTR are no where near LFA. I think Lexus probably will never make a such pure super car like LFA again in the future.
LCF won't be a super car though. It will probably be classified as an exotic GT.
@@runningcoyote3897 I agree.
I’m happy you guys never once said “it doesn’t look or act like the old NSX” like every other reviewer. The NSX is a victim of its own previous success because what it was meant to be was a technological experience that you could get at a price cheaper then Ferrari’s and such, yet people want it to be as it was in the 90s. Great job guys
Tj Tucker people just for some reason don’t except new cars
Nicholas Sheena well enthusiasts in general are nightmares for car companies. The negative ones usually think they know EVERYTHING and criticize EVERYTHING but will only buy a vehicle when it’s old and used
Tj Tucker well said👍🏻, new cars offer some great tech and safety features, like it or not people it is what is it
Same with the new supra and really just sticking a name that was beloved by many on to something else, even if they're great cars they're always going to get hate just for the name
Paul Doodnath yup. Toyota actually made the new Supra more capable performance wise and price wise too. I’ve driven a stock A80 and the new Supra. The new one is far better.
When I was working at Acura, I was so lucky that I sold one to a local customer in July 2017. At that time we got a test drive demo for the customer before he made the purchase. I had a chance to test drive the NSX too. One of the best feeling in my life was when I took the NSX to highway QEW, in the passing lane, all the cars in front of me just moved away for me! And when you passed by, they all looked at you and looked so surprised and cheered for you! I understand the NSX might not be the best supercar in reputation, but believe me, you feel the throat is endless like it will never stop acceleration. Now I am working for BMW but I always miss Acura.
A 2017 Nsx pulled into my school while I was outside. It was pretty cool to see one in person.
This is such a sweet story
That’s beautiful I do that for really nice cars too!!! Thank You!
Super car performance and looks with Honda reliability? Definitely a buy for me.
yeah im sure you bought one or two of them
@@dukefree350 HAHHAHA ikr?
I know right I thought it was a Honda at first!
@@NoName-nf5xl it is
how many lawns will you have to mow with your cousin Pablo before you can afford it?
You forgot, this is the ONLY hybrid supercar that is less than a $1 Million.
I8:wuahahahha me want to cry
@@nick-zc9xv i mean they called it a supercar in the i8 review, check it out
Ferrari will join next year
@@ItaiBarkan The i8 is not a supercar lmao
Itai Barkan 1412 the i8 is a joke
My God this was the best unbiased review of the NSX. And that red makes me want to buy it instead of a new house in the suburbs
Most reviewers have bashed the NSX... for not being some "Hypercar"... BUT the original NSX, was an evolution in the modern "Supercar", so I think this new one, follows that theme/ethos/formula just fine.
I think that is because Matt and Chris have nothing to prove to anyone, and they can speak their minds. I like how Matt puts it in his street drive of the NSX, It has the same performance of a Ferrari 488 or a McLaren 570S, but cost half as much. That was the original benchmark for pricing on the NSX, match the performance of the current generation of Ferrari, but do it reliably and about half the price. I think Honda / Acura nailed it in that aspect. I honestly don't have an issue with the 150k base price, or well optioned out the way my wife's car is, cost us $175k (they charge about $6K just for the green).
joosunkmybattleship i recently purchased a house in the suburbs and will sell to purchase a NSX. Sorry wife and kids! ;) Lol! Jk
Damn, where do you live where a house is that cheap?
james panos Fisher Island, FL
My neighbour has a red 2018 Acura NSX.
...and I have a Civic.
Well the infotainment is about the same. So there's that.
@@ThatLaloBoy that's true
And in traffic you’re arriving at the same time. The civics these days are not that bad a place to be. I have the 2018 accord and wanting to buy a sports car but have to spend a lot more to surpass the interior and tech.I would buy the type r if could get at msrp.
greg black Honda’s interiors are quite nice now. The civic and the accord both have really nice interiors for their price.
I love my Civic SI! Currently working on a 91 Acura NSX, salvaged. I can't believe how many people wreck these old NSX. Need to keep these beautiful work of arts on the road.
2.7 seconds, jesus, glad I found that out here and not off a stoplight. As soon as you said Curva Red...I died, lol.
Valencia red is better.
@@scwahtski1882, the car they have is in Valencia Red.
Front License Plate might be the worst law for car lovers. It just ruins the look of the car. Like a big zit on a good looking face. So glad that we don’t have that law in Michigan.
So glad i dont have to deal with in PA
We don't have that nonsense in KY either :)
North Carolina also -_-b
Not in Arizona :D
That's a rare case though. The overwhelming majority of cars with front license plate holders look like an afterthought. I've seen plenty of cars where if you removed the plate holder, you'd be stuck with two holes in the bumper.
Stunning drone shots guys! Aside from the audio this episode's quality is off the charts
You guys are easily the most fun reviewers to watch. Thanks for the content and banter
All I wanna know is how many takes you did to nail the simultaneous door closing intro
1
! most impressive
Tedward they’ve been practicing for years now
@@TheStraightPipes yal are awesome!
The most underrated of the current crop of supercars easily
Rusty cause they suck
lmao truth hurts
what reasons for why it sucks ?
$200k, no speed (any other car), no comfort (Benz), no technology (Benz), no handling (Porsche/BMW), no exhaust (Jag/AMG), also boring styling.
They hate it even though they have never driven it
I like how you guys highlight the good and bad from a real person's perspective.
Thanks for the US conversion! Was getting tired of having to Google the USD price every time
You wanna know how much it cost if i were to use USD to my currency Indonesian Rupiah it cost 4.4 billion at least there is closest one that is Australia which cost just under 4.1billion before tax that is there is luxury tax road tax too much tax everywhere and people don't where it goes and corruption run rampant
Another awesome video!
Did not realise you are Polish Jakub, though your name kind of gives ;)
Cheers from the Motherland!
@Zack Smith LOL what does that have to do with anything.
Haha thanks
Kurwa red dla Polski!
Beetle was czech, not polski
Kurwa mać. Fajne auto :)
Pozdrowienia z Tokio
It’s beautiful and made by Honda so it’ll be much more reliable then the other super cars! 💯
Some guy in our neighborhood has an older NSX and that thing just runs like a champ. My Mazda 3 has had to go to the shop more times than that NSX. Extremely happy that Honda keeps the reliability of it's expensive cars.
@@ThatLaloBoy What year Mazda 3 is it?
Love watching you guys! The NSX is a car that is on the top of my to-get list; I'm mostly interested in the 1st gen but every time I watch reviews on the 2nd gen it makes me want one so bad
Love the back and forth debate at the end of the video... You guys make a lot of sense !!! Another awesome video, especially because there is none of the satellite radio nonsense ;). I don't care about satellite radio... I want this NSX because of you guys now.
LM C I want sat radio
Just found your channel a couple days ago and I love it!
I think I know the best word to describe this car: refined.
Other supercars may be refined in some ways, but that is not their dominant characteristics. Most of them are EDGY. But the NSX....is subtle and refined
Bravo
Love your guys channel really creative and a nice change in pace to some of the regular reviews.. ive started my own car review channel and i watch you guys all the time for new ideas! keep Doing you Straight Pipes!! ps im from Ontario but live in Australia now!
I like the looks of it, I appreciate that it's an Acura and would require comparatively, little to maintain, but something about a gt3 has always called my name.. Something more raw about the gt3... that's what I want when driving a car of that nature.. If I want comfort I'll drive my truck! Great video as always boys!
Fkin love it. This is the car equiv of the sexy librarian.
Loving your review guys! I actually took some notes on your review before I had the chance to drive a 2019 Acura NSX over the weekend. I got the experience on video and the launch control was crazy! Would love your thoughts on my impressions: ua-cam.com/video/xhu1luvS5Fk/v-deo.html
These guys are literally echoing each other every point
It's so satisfying seeing my name on a box....even tho it wont fit. Keep up the good work, love the content. :)
You guys officially made it! Great review as always. Now can you please review CX-5 am not going to stop asking till I get it.
You guys are good I'm happy I found your channel. I've been looking at this car. You talked me into it. Now I just need to find a great deal.
Great video again. Definitely nicer than the I8. Also, I noticed Yuri's shirt has options too -- the black collar and stripes on the sleeves. I hope you continue to get more subscribers!
I Love the exhaust note, sounds like a naturally aspirated small displacement engine, they did a lot of work to get it to sound so smooth.
Love the 80s intro tune. You're speaking to my soul
I always love watching your videos !!!! Such a great review, I want one!!!!
LOL I still have my Dinka Jester. Should start making Gta stuff.
Same, lol.
I was one of those who picked the Obey 9F over the Jester.
Purujit Pradhan I only picked the Jester because it was cheaper lmao
I love the new nsx, it's such an underrated supercar, it's kinda become one of my dream cars. I really want to own an nsx one day
Super car performance with Honda reliability, sounds like a good deal.
I love the in car shot of Yuri with his shoulders around his ears from the stress
Sucks that Ontario forces license plates on front of cars. As a car guy it hurts me and the lines of the car. Great video as always.
I actually like front license plates and prefer when cars have them. Cars are designed to have them meaning that cars look kind of wierd without them, especially European ones which clearly are meant to have front plates because of EU law
You can get a bracket that mounts underneath the front bumper and folds away...
@@Mrmccord225 or just stick in the windshield...so they can't say u don't have it....lol
@@sva60_cyyz59 Yet Italian cars are made like they weren't supposed to have one i.e. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo.
Look at germany.
Its called *Kuchenblech* aka cake tray
Thanks for this review . I love this car in spite of anything
I can confirm that off camera Jakub tenses up and says “so fast” when he floors this car.... this is proper dream car stuff right here...
I'm actually in love with the looks of the car. 😍
Love it... Looks amazing in that color.. I'm all for the subtle supercars.. That car is BOSS!!
Yes! The Dinka Jester! My first sports car purchase in GTA, I was poor back then and had an apartment on Spanish Avenue! 😁
Honda is the only supercar I'd trust. Not that I can afford it so the point is moot
Love your review. No one else does what y’all do!! So glad I met Jackub in Cuba. Support most everything y’all do Massive fan
Thanks a lot!! Great meeting you too, good times!
I’m so in love with this car💎 I’ve watched this video like 10 times now😂🔥🔥
The difference between Yuri and Jakub's face when they're on the track is too good
You guys really made me change my view on this whip!
I can't comment on the performance, as I've never driven one, but I honestly think this is the most beautiful machine ever built. Every line, nook and cranny is perfect from every angle. Normally, I can't stand chrome, but this even pulls that off. So many newer cars try too hard to look unique and futuristic, but often end up looking too busy and awkward. NSX has an incredibly high tech and aggressive style, but so masterfully designed and tasteful. It's the epitomy of sexy car design and I hope it's entire design team got a significant raise. This car is so underrated. I could stare at it all day. Pretty much obsessed.
Finally polish accent in a video and we don’t have NSX in Poland (in official distribution ofc)
Way to nail those intro music selections. Last bunch of vids the car and music IMO seem to go very well together. Kuds
Thanks! Music is hard
As always... great review guys!
Absolutely love the new NSX. I think the price is maybe $20k over what it should be but its amazing. Another great video guys!
Brilliant review guys, I love all the Jakubfaces with this one. As for the NSX - I think it would have been a resounding success if it was about $30-40K cheaper
Mick Crippz you act like you have a lambo and a mansion when you drive a Honda 😂😂
Great video! Your editing is much better than some other youtubers that like to review cars...
Ok first of all you boys are bad ass... Your reviews are spot on and deserve recognition and props. Like you said it's a super car not a sports car and its truly bad ass. But it fall short of first in class as over the top. I truly believe once someone adds the body kit it will become world class. So what I'm saying is they should have add the body kit themselves. Once again keep doing what you do and yes I will keep punching the like button so you boys get paid... The Banks family
Last week, we saw one -- this same color -- on I-74 in Peoria, IL. Beautiful car.
I’d like it if y’all would do a video on a new 911 Turbo S. If not I still love y’alls videos regardless lol keep up the good work.
lmao im glad they talked about the dinka jester my favorite car in the game
I've never listened to satellite radio and will never base a car purchase on that factor, but for some reason I appreciate that part of your reviews. I have no idea why it is so entertaining.
You guys make the most enjoyable car reviews ever! For the car I love the looks, technology behind... but for that amount of money I would definitely choose a Porsche/McLaren/R8... even a used Ferrari... all day! That's what you want... a noise, pure gasoline and pleasure driving! Btw the dynamic mode knob looks like a blender button...lol
Kurva means “whore” in Bulgarian. I imagine it’s the same in Polish😂
Oh it's also a word in Bulgaria? I thaught it was only in Czech, Polish and Slovak.
And yes it also means “whore“ in all four languages (including Bulgarian) 😅
Kurva is kurva in all slavic languages
Same in albanian too
This is an awesome review can’t wait for more videos like this
Brown Loafers with white socks in an NSX @4:45... as cool as it gets. Love it!
How have I never heard of you guys before about 2 days ago? Loving your videos.. keep it up! In regards to the NSX, I finally saw one on the road about a week ago. It looks a lot better in person than in pictures. I do think the price is too high, but overall I really like it. I was on the fence until I saw it in person.
Share us with your friends!
Which one of you wrote this?
So glad you went with this thumbnail!!!
Antonio Esparza thanks for your vote
what is this groovy 80s music intro!?Love it!!
Such a sweet piece of machinery! I have only spotted two of them in town. Price is steep for most people, but if you are lucky enough, you own a nice car!
Had one in flat black pass me today, they look cool coming up in the rear view mirror!
You guys covered my fav car of all time! This is my dream car! and Yes I would buy this over anything!
You can always customize the exhaust and tune it. Car is so underrated. I need one so I can modify it and change people's minds. I need this for my UA-cam channel
Kelvin Mejia Do you think someone is just gonna give you a near $200,000 car?
Air_ lol
Damn kevskipops has a lid in like every video he out here supportin yall
I would buy it, it's been long awaited for me though. The looks are awesome and more futuristic than most. Love it.
I like what you guys said about the NSX being too far ahead of its time. Yes other companies will go this route to produce fast cars and Honda just got a jump on the process. Bummer it isn't selling well as I know Honda has given us a wonderful super car. I am interested in the both the original and the new NSX. But I would rather have the new NSX more.
Man if i live in Canada i would wanna work with these both legends :D
So happy to see you guys review my weekend car. Sound is easily fixed with Science of Speed downpipes, charge pipes and filters.
Also, a shame they gave you the street car with the continentals. I hate those tires and can’t wait to get cups or MPSS
Can you get all of that from science of speed? My nsx is coming in this week can’t wait
@@1in7.8b perfect. I read somewhere the electric motors can be tuned also. Did you do that to yours ?
@@1in7.8b thank you!!!
Amazing car. I got to take it for a spin on a track in Vegas and loved it.
I for one LOVE this car!
I know honda is really proud of the hybrid part but I think a lot of people would have been happy if this had also been offered in stripped down just twin turbo v6 rwd version at the right price.
nice review, full of fun and seemingly true comments ^^
As always, nice unbiased review with really awesome video.
I like this car but I still can't see that it is NSX.
Another enjoyable review guys. First time I've seen that color. Beautiful indeed. If you can afford the car, you can always change the exhaust for more sound and power. Bottom line, if I could afford it, I'd buy it.
I forget how small these supercars are, like for the longest I thought the Aventador and Veyron were huge cause of their wide body and full piece designs until I saw ppl next to them and then when I saw it in person. Like @00:08
You guys are awesome. Canadians are just so fun.
Good video! As always. Thanks!
OMG, he said the K word! 😱
Cheers from Lithuania.
Yuri: "finally an acura supercar"
Me: HHEOEHDOATDBFK
Thanks for covering this controversial car. It can use upgrades in the future, like sculpting the back better. I hate that angle too. That is the only thing I dislike about the car. Could be flatter or sharper, that way it MATCHES the front.
The one and only time I saw it at night, I didn't know what it was. The lights and low stance caught my eye immediately. Unforgettable!
C(k)urva red made my day. Thank you for nice review.
MKBHD approved!!
It's my favorite people, back with another video!!!
Y’all just earned it, subscribed
great video like always
Keep up the good work my bros in the North.
Movie quote relating to NSX: "That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten." What movie is this?
Pulp Fiction
Now pretty please with sugar on top, clean the fuckin' car.
Poor Marvin
Tarantino can do no wrong
9 minutes 58 seconds later...
Another great video guys! Is there any possibility you guys might start shooting in 4K?
I'd love to watch that visor test on my 4K TV in native resolution!
Ethan Maes we shoot in 4K but finish in 1080
That straight pipes shirt, Yuri is wearing, is nice. Finally he's wearing a nice shirt.
Why is this a bad deal at 182k For a base model but $172k for a base aston martin v8 vantage is a great deal??
Honestly
Leonard R because of what you get with each car the Aston Martin is a V8 and has that v8 sound even though it has 70 less horse power along with that your buying an Aston Martin they are known for their luxurious sports/super cars so your getting nicer stuff in a cheaper car as they said in the review the infotainment is like straight out of the civic type R also why it’s a bad deal is that it kinda punches above its weight class as they said it competes with the 911 gt3 or RS depending on how you spec it and the mclaren 570 while the NSX is just a supercar from Honda but at the end they did say why it was pretty great for the price it’s fast the seats are nice for a supercar cheaper repairs because it’s built with Honda’s parts so they are reliable so in the end your the difference between the two are the flair of the brand like Aston Martin while the nsx is just an Acura but you won’t be paying a year of college tuition to replace 4 wheels
(I apologize for my lack of punctuation it’s the last day of summer and I’m not ready to get into that habit again)
@@will_rcq4264 well yes. But Aston Martin's require a lot of maintenance and it is a huge hit to your wallet when it inevitably breaks. This is supercar looks with Honda reliability.
And this thing is more reliable. I don't understand these journalist. The thing goes 0-60 under 3 seconds.
@Jerry Moody true but I wish it had AWD
