Nsx for brz?

[jstans84]

I have an Asphalt FRS with only 10k miles. Wanna trade?

It just sounds like you're bored w/ the NSX. That's hard to overcome, no matter how awesome the car is...

That being said, even though the Twins are fun to drive--you'll miss the power/speed & that wonderful wail over your shoulder.

I can see where u are coming from. U love the NSX, but it is definitely an old car.

I love my old car, not NSX quality, but I won't give it up even though I thought about it before I got my BRZ.

If possible, I would say keep the NSX and get a FRS. I say FRS over BRZ since it is cheaper and u can use the extra money to either maintain the NSX or mod the FRS.

Since my car was pretty much super base, I opted for BRZ Limited, with it being my first truly new car. But when I got into my Civic, it was like an old friend and I miss the days I entered it into shows.

Kinda going out on a limb here...OP are you planning for a new car now or the near future? The NSX is a beast and although dated still state of the art for its time. Now sure how much you have in your piggy bank, but the revamped NSX is slated to to drop in 2 years as a 2015 model. The set-up it out of this world with a hybrid transmission.

Now if you dont have $130k laying around or dont want to wait, the twins are a great choice for a thrilling ride...whether on the track or just getting milk. If you want a ready-out-of-the-box daily driver I would go with the BRZ Limited. However if your piggy bank is not as loaded as one would dream or you are into customizing your ride, FR-S is the way to go. Either way you look at your possible new car buying experience, do you research and test out all your options. Biased or not, you cannot really go wrong with the twins.

I for one will go against the grain and say it's great for the OP to experience a newer and different car with less maintenance.

And, it's good that it will put the NSX out there so someone else can get to experience it. In fact, with the NSX I would expect many of them to have had quite a few owners in their service lives.

Most people that can pay for the ownership are not necessarily in the position to just bury it and go on to the next one and the one after. That is reserved for those with the space/desire/funds/willingness to collect. Only an idealist would advise just anybody to hang onto the car indefinitely.

I can totally understand where the op is coming from. I've said it many times: so many cars, so little time. I don't regret the day I sold my 911 and bought a Miata. I especially don't regret the day I sold the Miata and bought my FR-S; brand new with a full warranty, exciting to drive and perhaps the wisest car purchase I have ever made.

OP, you won't regret it. The FR-S is truly a marvel to drive and the best bang for the buck there is.

When deciding how to spend 30K on a car I looked at higher mileage (60-80K) 91' NSXs. I've basically grown up with Hondas from that era my entire life and it was always the jewel I could never afford.

After driving the NSX I realized that it couldn't ever fit my requirement as a daily. Although awesome, the BRZ/FRS is just a much more practical car. I think an NSX would make a great 2nd car for a Honda-head. I also feel that I could push my BRZ harder on track than I would push an NSX if I had one. Although attached, ruining an NSX would crush me, where as ruining my BRZ would mean I would just get another one or something else.

I think you should drive them back to back. Just drive to a Subaru dealership in your NSX and I'm sure you'll get a ride.

I almost picked up a NSX last year. Such a great car with so many well-engineered components.

My guess is if you drive a NSX you will really enjoy the BRZ. It's not going to wow you with power but it's a great chassis and is just a blast to drive. Relative to the NSX, it will feel a little lighter and obviously you get a more modern set up.

I wish they continued making the NSX, it's such a great car, I hope I can pick one up at some point, it truly is a special car. The BRZ is a great car you can live with and have a ton of fun, but not quite the same curb appeal.

Why not get something more expensive? Porsche Cayman S perhaps or even a Boxster S if you want a convertible. Kinda strange hearing someone asking opinions about downsizing.

I'd figure someone who's owned a NSX would want something comparable in price or catergory (i.e. Corvette, Porsche, GTR, etc.). Or better yet, just buy the FRS/BRZ out right as a second car. Then again I don't know your financial situation.

[slowbrz]

NSX is a super car. Keep it.

[Khazzy]

I agree keep the NSX, garage it or something for a nice weekend car. Go get a BRZ (or FRS if you fancy the looks more) and daily drive that. I would love to own an NSX but it would be a show car more than anything.

Wow! Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. This is such an awesome forum.
I daily my car, because i dont believe in paying for a car and let it sit. These cars are made to driven. This is just my opinion, so please dont take it the wrong way for those of you who garage your cars. The X is fun and a great daily driver, but it's also a hassel (esp. With parking). With a baby on the way and a recently purchased house, i think im at a point where i just need somthing that i dont have to worry about so much(parking, maintenace, roads etc...) about. However, i still want a small, agile, fun to drive car thats not too expensive to own. Like some of u mentioned. Why not keep the nsx and get an frs/brz. Yes, financially i can do that, but like i said i dont want a car just for it to sit and look pretty.
I will see if i can find the twin to test drive and then mKe my decision. Thanks again for all the replies. I will keep you all posted. Thanks!

I've driven a NSX a few times, and I honestly see where the OP is coming from. Not because it's a bad car in any way, but because the idea that it is (or was) one of the easiest to live with supercars is a relative term. It was the most approachable in comparison to other supercars, yes. That doesn't make it necessarily that easy to drive as a daily driver, and if I was to choose between an NSX or a FR-S/BRZ for daily driving in traffic and downtown, I'd be all over the twins. The NSX is engineered as a supercar - it's designed for high speed hijinks, not the low-speed crap that is the majority of our driving in the States. The BRZ/FR-S outright excels at that stuff.
