1991 Acura NSX review from North America
"Handles like a shark in Water"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The 1991 and some of the 1992 NSX's have a transmission problem which stems from the snap ring. Mine fell into this category and cost me $2,000 to fix. The problem causes the car's shifter to wiggle around and pop out of gear (very annoying). For more info see www.nsxprime.com.
The car also has faulty window regulators which causes the power window to cease from working. Also very expense ($500/regulator). Other than assembly problems, the car has run like a gem.
General comments?
The reason why I bought the car was because of its Honda reputation. The NSX does lack some acceleration put it handles like no other and gets excellent gas mileage. I am planning on buying a newer model sometime in the future.
