Nsx for brz?

[wbradley]

Not everybody can or really wants to hold onto certain prized possessions forever. Especially when there is or will be significant maintenance ongoing. Sometimes you just want to move on. I sold 4 beautiful restored/mint pinball machines from my collection to help fund my summer car.

Time to inject some excitement through change.

I'd also recommend you try the Hyundai Genesis Coupe and the Nissan 370Z.
Those two tend to be the main competition for the twins. (Along with the Miata and Mustang...)

if ur looking for a good handling car look no further man the steering is sharp and precise when u move th steering wheel the car moves at the exact same phase if ur looking for agility the brz is the way to go...now if ur in a red light and a douch revs his engine and hes got like a camaro ur fucked so its up to u

[Marcoscrdo]

I would let you drive my BRZ if i could drive the nsx that car is way too sweet

[mush]

i would keep the NSX... its an exotic IMO
try to find a way to keep the NSX and buy a frs/brz

[Jester]

My uncle had an nsx for a few years and that was the first manual car and the first sports car I ever drove. To this day, it's still a goal of mine to get one of my own. The twins are great cars and if you want a change in driving experience, it'll definitely keep you satisfied.

But in my opinion, I'd keep the nsx no question. To be honest it is just an all around awesome car that I think you will miss.

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).

This. I went from a Celica to several MR2s to a G coupe to a Suzuki SX4. That change from a V6 to SX4 was drastic yet refreshing. I've had the SX4 since 2011 and my love for it slightly faded once I got the BRZ. To the point that I thought of selling my SX4 for an FR-S. But I'm keeping it because it makes my BRZ feel like a damn supercar in comparison lol. Plus for the sake of that "different automotive experience" - if I indulge in just BRZ/FR-S, that will make me want to "move on" to a completely different car faster. It's like eating gourmet food from the same restaurant... everyday. The taste WILL get stale. So I get where the OP is coming form - life needs change to be interesting.

Anyway, to answer the OP's question. The NSX is probably the last supercar from Japan with a petrol engine and stick shift with clutch pedal. After you let it go and start to miss it (and you WILL miss it) it will be hard to get back. The BRZ, however, will be readily available for the next decade or more.

People who are saying to keep the NSX own a BRZ. That's funny because a used NSX can be had for the price of a new BRZ. Makes me wonder... why didn't they get an NSX instead?! lol I'd been looking at NSXs through the years and thought about finally getting one last year. But I wanted something with modern tech (best feature I've had prior was an aftermarket MP3/CD player) and safety features (to increase chances of staying alive). And I turned down the Elise (didn't want another 2ZZ-GE with RPMs that need to be raced to appreciate) and C6 (didn't seem that special) for a BRZ also because it's best to buy at the flog-free mileage of 0 - especially for sports cars (based on my used sports car buying experience). When the BRZ launched, the stars aligned, and it answered all my concerns.

If you've already seen this, watch it again:

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.

Where are you?

I have a BRZ, and would be willing to trade a drive.

[RAWR BRZ]

I actually cross shopped for a used NSX before buying the BRZ and honestly I would rather have a NSX BUT to find a NSX that is unmolested and in good condition... they go for north of over 50k and that is much more than a BRZ. I did find one for 20k but it was really really beat up... The rest weren't worth the price that was marketed because they were in bad condition also.

Keep the NSX,

I still want one after all these years... one day!

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:

Are we talking daily driver or weekend car?
