What's New for the 2005 Acura NSX?
Now entering its fifteenth year of production, the aluminum-bodied Acura NSX receives no changes for 2005.
Advantages of the 2005 Acura NSX:
- Mid-engined handling balance
- Sharp steering response
- Docile enough to serve as daily driver
- Rare exotic car reliability factor
Objections to the 2005 Acura NSX: - Exorbitant price tag
- Aluminum bodywork can be expensive to repair
- NSX was originally engineered during Bush Sr.'s administration
Editor's Advice:
Unusual indeed is the automobile that can survive for well over a decade without significant change and still remain an enticing prospect. The 2005 Acura NSX is such an automobile. Though short on power compared to even the lowly Ford Mustang GT, the 290-horse (252 if the SportShift sequential automatic is specified), mid-engined NSX is also remarkably short on curb weight, making it agile, responsive, and a wonderful dance partner on a twisting two-lane road. Sure, the price is steep, but what cost icon ownership?
