Nsx for brz?

Hi all, i currently own an nsx, but have been very interested in a brz. Ive heard and read good things about the frs/brz. However, i havent had any opportunity to drive one yet. For those of you who are owners what do you guys think? Yes, i know the nsx is a classic, but its still an old car :happy0180:

if you are comfortable with the cost of ownership of the nsx, keep it. if you are looking for a new car and all the perks of new cars, switch. but honestly, keep the nsx.

Completely different cars and driving experiences. Do you want something different than what the NSX offers?

I'm also curious in Dave's question. What's attracting you to the BRZ? Is there something the NSX is missing? If I had an NSX, I probably wouldn't let it go for a BRZ.

I love the nsx, love how it drives. But it just feel old sometimes. For some reason it feel bigger then what it is. Drove my friend s2k and was amaze by how small and agile it feel. However, i dont really like soft top convertible. After checking out the brz that parked nect to me, im really liking it. I would love to test drive one, but i can never find one near me.

Clearly, someone doesn't appreciate NSX. Someone else can DEFINITELY benefit from this.

One day, the twins will have legendary status. And people will be saying "keep the BRZ/FRS"...

No, he most DEFINITELY likes his NSX, he just wants a different automotive experience.

If we always buy the same car based on our previous one we owned, were living pretty boring lives as car guys.

Its always good to search for new experiences, change makes life feel longer and richer (to a sense).

Its like the guy with the Hemi Cuda' down the block, he sold it and bought a 911. Everyone thinks hes nuts, buts hes loving the 911 and he loved his Hemi Cuda' as well.


If possible, i'd keep both cars. But if your looking for a change, then the twins are the way to go. Not very similar cars at all.
