Quite interesting and opposing views with some quite in depth tech info on the most recent The Smoking Tire podcast between Farah and Jason Camissa. Time the discussion starts 1:52:45. Some valid points brought up about the 'failings' of the NSX from Camissa.

This is equally as interesting as the NSX.

Want to get a cup of tea sometime out on motorbikes?

The new NSX is a beautiful car.
Looks even better in real life.
Saw one coming towards me and I thought it was a BMW, until I saw the badge.
Awesome car, would love to drive one.
Alas, I can't afford to own one.

Fantastic car.

Most reviews I've read mention that the interior is disappointing but it looks fine to me.
It looks fine to me too... sorry, is that the interior for the new Civic?

From the outside at least it looks brill. I like it very much.

The new NSX is on my list of cars I'd love to own (that I could conceivably afford), need to wait a few years till I'm given permission to go two-seater smile

Bought my 2017 NSX in white last week

I had the first series (three of them over an 8 year period ) in the late 1990's and regretted selling the last (T Bar). I did 80k in the last NSX and it was incredibly reliable with only the power steering unit failing

The wing mirrors on the new NSX are a problem- they dont fold in automatically, I had to go through a set of pinch barriers and had to hop out of the car to fold them in and wave apologetically to the guy behind before creeping through ( and I mean creeping through) the barriers

I have had R8, i8 and a Porsche. - this is the fastest car I have ever driven and is truly breathtaking in terms of road handing and speed

Minor disappointment is the display for the Sat Nav which is really not good, although if i plug in my iPhone I get google maps which addresses much of my criticism

Buying a Porsche/Mclaren and to a certain extent an R8 is a safe bet as deprecation is good. The NSX we dont know yet but I like to be different and the NSX for me is a safe choice because it will be bullet proof on reliability and that matters to me a great deal

I still have my i8 which I bought for slightly over list some 4.5 years ago and seen it fall from £115k to £38K ( that what I was offered in a PEX with 48,500 miles) very reliable but the truth is that it is a £80k car new, not £110-£120k. The price of a delivery mileage one on autotrader will confirm

Still loving every minute of it. I am fortunate enough to have a Porsche and an Aston as well, but its the NSX I tend to go too when I want to just go out for a drive.

Really intrigued by these at the moment, those that have one - anything further to report? Good or bad?

Have still only seen 1 so far on the road.

Does anyone know what the 2019 updates will bring?

Is very hard to know what the residuals on these will be...anyone with a crystal ball?

Thanks in advance smile

Well this is a resurrection !

Apologies for pointing out that there are only two service points in the UK and both London ... yes it was mentioned above.

But how are you getting on with your cars ?

Despite living 200 miles away from London I still like the NSX, have run out of hankering for a Porsche, like the V10 R8 but it feels uninspired, and didn't like the i8 !
