Supercars are supposed to miss the forest for the trees. These ragged-edge cars focus so intently on high-speed overall performance and high-cost trimmings that they're often tough to truly utilize on a daily basis, relegating them to saturday and sunday warriors at best. But not the 2020 Acura NSX.
This Japanese scalpel is more as compared to ready to rumble on the backroad, but it includes a softness that gives the auto more than enough pliancy to generate for a quality grocery-getter, albeit one what a bit over outfitted for the task.
Upon approach, the slim door handles start up to greet me personally, which is a fun parlor trick. Thankfully, opportunities open in the usual direction, as the NSX has absolutely no difficulty turning heads with out bringing atypical knobs and butterfly doors into the equation.
With interesting angles in most direction, from hovering buttresses out back for the aggressive front fender, the NSX is much like most other supercars because it's damn near impossible to merge anywhere. Even over and above the show-off design, my tester's $6, 000 Valencia Reddish colored Pearl paint career isn't about to let that happen.
Visibility is quite good in many directions, with loads of forward sight (thanks in part to way-thin A-pillars) and superb blind-spot coverage through the mirrors that develop from the body like antennae. The view out back is fine, considering there's an engine a few inches wide behind me.
Be mindful of the sun's placement, though: Too many primary rays from ol' Sol and the the front windshield begins to resemble a cheese grater thanks to serious reflections of the massive loudspeaker grille below. It really is annoying, especially in enthusiastic driving or slow-speed neighborhoods where children and squirrels could be in the street.
Overall, typically the NSX's interior quality feels worth typically the $150, 000+ expense of admission. Soft leather covers most of the dashboard, doors, center tunnel in addition to steering wheel, and what isn't made from the smooth products is bedecked throughout carbon fiber (a $2, 500 option) and even satin aluminum.
The little bit of piano black trim on the tranny controls, which should be quite familiar to most the latest Honda or Acura owners, is the simply part of the interior that feels a little low-rent, and only then it's because of its propensity to build up finger grime.
The cup holders are small and only attach to a slot within the center console, you could tuck them to the diminutive glove inner compartment when not in use. Different storage comes through wallet-sized slots in the door panels, a key- (and mask-) sort of slot in the center console and a tiny hinged cubby from the rear firewall that houses the USB port. It's tight, like many supercars, but there's nevertheless a decent amount of place for my 6-foot frame to get cozy.
