Nice review but with a few errors.
The original NSX has a rev limiter set at 8000 rpm, not 7500. Only the NSX Automatic which had 252 Hp had it set at 7500 rpm and that's not the NSX you would want.
During it's 15 year lifespan, the NSX was evolving constantly, although most of the changes are underneath.
I happen to own a very good '98 NSX to which I've added a lot of modifications to keep the up to date performance wise and it still is a absolutely fun and amazing car to drive.
I have been in the new NSX (one of the pre-production models) on the Spa track in Belgium and the new NSX feels amazing.
Honda did want to just build another supercar like a R8 or Huracan or 570S, but do something new and they did. Simply put, with the new NSX, Honda has built a kind of Porsche 918 for a fraction of the price and then still has something new to add.
It is basically the example of what future supercar will be like.

Good job Mat. It's good to see a positive review for this car. I got kind of tired hearing so many fussy and completely anal car reviewers knocking it for not being perfect. This is a brand new car, coming from a team that had the nuts to rethink and redesign the the drive train midstream, enduring the criticism for not getting it out when it was first anticipated to be released. They can always refine the car later, but they should be congratulated for building a brand new platform they cared enough to get right, no matter what.

The new NSX is just too heavy for a supercar. On the other hand the old NSX is purely a driving machine. They are totally two different cars with no relationship in my mind. I think the Honda engineers should have a look on how the new MX5 is made with similar concepts from the old ones. Sometimes revolution is just not as good as evolution.

Great machines, the new NSX is a car that precedes a new wave of technological enginnering cars, however the old NSX will still be pattern as few other great marvells like the 959, now they may not be as mind-blowing as their new generations. But. I'm still choosing the old NSX.
Cool videos and great cars!

ill probably get shot for this. but i actually do belive DCTs are the way forward. not as fun to drive as a manual but the performance they give is unbelievable. take the golf R vs the STI for example. the DCT in the golf R makes all the difference. still prefer subaru though (not biased i promise) lol

Some people like original chicken, other like bbq chicken, I like spicy chicken, just look at it like that. People can hate the new nsx because it's simply outta their price range. No one is going to sell you a car classified as a super car for less then 100k, only on your wet dreams.

ok first of all, thanks for the audio fix. I've been following Matt since years and think his reviews are the best (even better than CH. I'm a big fan of Matt) but this one just felt like he's a JDM fanboy or he has been paid in surplus by Honda to be extra generous to the car.

You forgot to mention that it's infotainment system is not as good as the idrive on a BMW and that it lacks the virtual cockpit of the Audi, also you forgot to mention how much could we save if we compared prices through carwow -

This idiot does not have any idea what hes talking about, thats not plastic thats aluminium, and there are cup holders in the glove compartment that you can stick into the side of the console, if they are this important.
