Having owned a few American Muscle cars, a couple of Skylines and now the Chimaera, all which I have enjoyed for different reasons, I think it is time for a change again.

Toying with an NSX 3.0 Manual import. What should I be looking out for as I know nothing about these cars other than I have always quite fancied one. Thanks guys....

fantastic GT car with amazing build quality and sublime handling. Not the fastest cars in the world but still nice and quick, and through the bends they're beautiful.

That's high on my list of 'got to own one if I can ever afford it'. smile

From everything I've read I doubt you'll be disappointed, and you'll certainly inspire a lot of jealousy. smile

Expect people of a certain age to start talking about 1000hp supras and skylines eating it. Although since you've owned a skyline its probably happened already wink

Certainly not fussed about out and out power this time, kinda been there and done that with the Skylines. I have actually really enjoyed the linear power delivery of the N/A TVR versus the Skyline which is another reason I quite fancy the NSX.

Any horror stories on maintainance or is a well maintained one usually pretty solid? I actually quite like the fact that they are expensive to modify as it may just stop me doing it!

Chauch,

The only major expense I am aware of is the clutch at around £1700. Apart from that, maintenance costs are very reasonable

Hey, whats with the hate towards high powered Supras and Skylines ?
They are all great in their own right.
