- You want to know what "timeless" is? You want to know what a good car investment is? You want to know what an amazing interior feels like? Here's everything. Here's the first generation Acura NSX. The car that Honda didn't have to make, but did.
Clarification: The PlayStation 1 was released in Japan in 1994 and 1995 in North America.
One presidential term later, he wasn't joking.
Plenty of these now go for $100K.
omg hi omni rider
*tears*
Hey bladed
Put a prior design kit on your Corvette. You won't regret it.
* sad noises *
@@marquaviouschester6947 you get us on first half ngl
Pop up headlights alone add 25k to the price
👌
Tell it to mkIII Supras.
The Almighty Cornholio only 25k
MY dude pop up headlights quadruple the price of it
Really??
Pretty true, especially with the NSX, since the ones with pop-ups cost way more than the redesign with fixed headlights (stupid new laws, fuckin' up all the great cars). But, pop-up headlights are original, striking, and show that you are not someone who drives a new car. Not to mention, so many cars with them are SO iconic, like the NA Miata, RX-7, AE86, and of course, the NSX.
the NSX makes me feel a lot better about my 2000 accord coupe, their rear ends are so similar
I bought my 2002 Accord coupe because of that and drove it for the next 14 years!
the rear end of 2000 accord coupe looks like nsx with a down syndrome, im so sorry.
@@igorcywinski7477 lmaoooooooo
Igor Cywiński Ur right tho
@@igorcywinski7477 be nice. From an NSX and Accord coupe owner
The Roman's mixtape is fire
Hugh Jass Definitely spreading out his genres. He is one drop away from Nerdcore but its nice to see something more than twangy love songs..
Supa hot fire? He spits that.
That Really Got Dangits My Bobbies OOOOOOHHHHHHH!
STRAIGHT FIRE FAM
***** b0ss
this is a sick love letter to the NSX
Honda NSX: Italian Style, Japanese Quality.
Today,Italian quality are better.Look for Alfa Romeo, Maserati etc.
@@the_normal Maserati has had cars with various recalls and are owned by crappy corporations
@@the_normal What? They're just as bad as they've ever been. The new Giulia is a mass of electrical gremlins, the new Ghibli is full of corner cutting etc
@@the_normal down bad Little Marco
@@the_normal Maseratis are dogshit quality lol, shits break constantly😂.
Those sport coupe with pop up lights have a big effect on kids. (no pedobear)
I drive a red MR2 SW20 and nobody gives a fuck except kids. Every-time I pass in front of kids they react like it was a ferrari lol.
Maybe it's a car for those who are still kids in their heads.
+Pow3rus They probably are too young to remember when the motor that pops up the lights would go out, and you had to drive around with them up all the time.
+Pow3rus Yeah , i got same on my Ford probe Gt ;D
+Pow3rus Haha, I get the same reaction from kids with my NA Miata. They just stare at the headlights.
+Pow3rus
Hey Bro, I drive a Yellow MR2 SW20.
Kids love em and older people chindrop thinking it's an ferrary.
Love my MR2. Sweet car, Great comfort and luxury.
+Pow3rus yes dude. one kid stomp on my RS13 (240sx here) and said "look mom a black ferrari"
Kick starter to buy Mr Regular an NSX?
mans alans I'd give $10 if he would let me drive it for a few minutes :P
The peoples NSX.
mans alans How about just one to buy him a supercharged AW11? I've considered it.
mans alans What's a kick starter?
FuZionSniperzZ What's an internet?
When this car was still on showroom floors, I remember reading a road test that summed it up like this:
Only Honda could engineer a car that can bore you with blinding speed. What would require shaking and screeching and all manner of commotion, the NSX does smooth, silent and with ease."
I'd listen to the full version of that outro rap. That shit was legit.
Yo yo yo muhdick! yeah...
CJ Nortier yes dude
Lemon Scented sounds like early 2000’s rap
Lemon Scented Yo that shit was gangsta!
Those rhymes are cold. But it reminds me less of Southerplayalistic, Ready to Die, and Illmatic (all 1994!), more like Q-Tip's 1999 Amplified.
I don't mind the new one, but I don't think it's as cool as this.
+silvergbasp13 yeah but the 2002 nsx doesnt have pop ups. And nsx pop ups suck. I just like how aggresive this simple box car looks. Unlike the new NSX that looks like an 2009 civic took parts of a lambo and placed it on as aero.
I like this and but I've aways liked the look of the fixed headlights of the 02-05 models btw I've aways loved that look on twilights face XD
*****
Headlights go up, headlights go down!
One version of the new NSX I'd like to see is one that strips out the AWD hybrid gear and replaces the silly 9 speed with something like a 6 speed sequential or something, making it a purely RWD car with a turbo six. Something akin to the 911 GT3.
Spike Blade saw a 1991 NSX on CarGurus recently going for only $25,000, and only has 50,000 miles on it. It’s an automatic though, probably explains why the other ones I see there are going for 50-100k
The bad thing about 1994 is that Ayrton Senna died. He helped develop the NSX.
I like to think that a small part of his soul resides in each NSX.
It does. Honda specifically asked him what they needed to fix after he said he wasn't qualified to have an opinion on a mass production car. So he was honest. And what they fixed is the reason this car is so good. When they fixed the stiffness, he drove it in loafers. He loved it.
Horcruxes!
No mention of Ayrton Senna.
I'm impressed.
SpaceManDawn lol i was expecting if anyone would say that
TheMrZomboss
Usually reviews around this car go something like
"THE SENNA IS OVERWHELMING, IT'S SO SENNA THAT MY SENNA IS SQUIRTING SENNAS. OMG SENNA!!!!!"
SpaceManDawn Cool dad is not impressed
Kuhn92
THE STIFFNESS OF SENNA'S CHASSIS IS EQUAL TO THE STIFFNESS OF MY DICK.
Kuhn92 That's the driver that kids like
That's 30 minutes away........I'll be there in 10
Nine minutes and 37 seconds later:
Pulp fiction 😄😄
The wolf
I actually forgot the NSX was driven by that guy in Pulp Fiction, thanks for reminding me!
Shoot, that's all you had to say!
I have to buy one of these...so bad. I don't even like Japanese cars as much as American cars, but THE NOSTALGIA FROM THE GRAN TURISMO DAYS IS REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, Also INVESTMENT.
Although TBH, I'd probably drive one these everyday because fuck I don't care about gaining mileage. Cars are meant to be driven.
Welp im gonna do the exact opposite
- some collector
But still it's sad
Hey look it’s Balded Angle
I agree. I just got an import 1996 SVX S4 trim, only 125k km, clocked in 15000 km in just 6 months, daily that thing in freakin salty Toronto. AMSOIL fluids, 91 fuel, and constant touchless car wash, roll like a boss with a purpose. I want my SVX to hit half a million km, I want it to hit a million afterwards. A car that sits has no purpose, however a daily car has all the purpose.
some cars didn't meant to be driven but honda be damned if the nsx wasn't a ferrari beater and a daily driver in the same time. I am Soichiro Honda and i'll make enzo turn in his grave .
This comment and every reply to it, is the correct take : ) I wish instead of a maximum mileage on a ferrari lease that there was a minimum mileage on awesome cars. I know it means they get a little more beat up, some get wrecked, some get rusty. Good. That means they're being used, that's a worthy price to pay for cars like this to be out rippin around
$50,000? the Type Rs and some later models are even more expensive. Well screw my retirement money Im buying an NSX.
Cesar Cantu at first they sold for more.
Cesar Cantu hope you went through with it and bought 4. Cause you’re done saving lmao.
That's crazy for a driver, maybe an investment. $50k will get you a really great Vette
Classic cars are more fun and have actual car-guy type feel when driving. What grown man wants traction control and airbags? For one, ruins design. For two, it's for pussies
@@CaptainFALKEN I think is the first time I've heard someone shit on airbags lmfaooo

In terms of looks, the NSX had aged so incredibly well. Like a fine wine.
PS: that hip hop piece was fire at the end.

In 1994, I was:
- Watching the Fresh Prince of Bel Air
- Playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles
- Listening to Collective Soul
- Staring at the Acura NSX poster in my bedroom
I wish I was 9 again.

andxx0r_the_second Ayrton Senna died dude, Ayrton Senna died...
Kaisuke971 How are Ayrton Senna and Pink Floyd the same? Their last big hits were the wall!
I'm a fan of the guy, I was sad when his death was all over the TV in 1994, I own the movie on DVD, but I wish his widows would shut the hell up sometimes. Thanks, RegularCars, for not making the OMG SENNA DROVE AND HELPED WITH THIS CAR!!!!1 connection.
andxx0r_the_second I wasn't even born yet though
andxx0r_the_second Me too, however today I watched some Fresh Prince at work, listened to some N.W.A and watched a review on a NSX.
I wish I could afford an NSX.
"It's a Mid-engine car, so it has a frunk and you can put stuff in it, If you don't care what happens to it. It's the same approach i take with my scrotum since I don't plan on having kids or owning a dog or getting married. Because being some ones live preserver is not what I call progress."
amazing, I've never heard my own thoughts said by another.

The Honda NSX is BY FAR not a Regular Car.
agree
Try reading the name of the show like: Regular, car reviews. As in the reviews are for normal people. It's also a joke.
+TheBajamin Fist of all there is no , after regular, so this actually means Reviews of REGULAR everyday cars.
Secondly, all reviews are meant for Regular People.
Thirdly I was also joking, kindaaa....
You are a very un-fun person who takes life too literal. Consider relaxing.
+TheBajamin that's funny cause my friends always wonder how I can always be so funny and happy.
You don't know me !
But the point here is that I was right, you was wrong, and the NSX is still anything but an ordinary car.
damn that shifter is so narrow i thought it was automatic
You have to agree that actually seeing one is a privelage
I see one every day but it’s been parked for over 10 years. :(
Did some digging and it’s a 1991 with 98k miles, last registered in 2007. Makes me sad to see it die but it’s not for sale and costs to get it sorted would probably be astronomical.
1994 was also Super Metroid and Doom II: Hell on Earth.
And I was born haha
And the death of Richard M Nixon.
And the introduction of the B-body Impala SS, the 4th-gen Mustang, and 6th-gen Celica. And um... white text on the gauges of the Camaro, and some important change in the type of sensor in the intake of GM's LT1 engine. What else.. Kurt Cobain died, too.
AOL keyword: Sonic 3
I honestly perfered doom 1
because doom 2 had a jumping section 2 lvls in on underhalls that i couldn't beat because the PlayStation 1 version was broken.
1:43 look at the side mirrors and listen to his voice.
The Seer His crotch?!🤣🤣
Ahhhhh! So great
Right to the G E A R S H I F T E R
well i guess we all know why he aint having kids
"The styling is TIMELESS!"
*focus in on pop-up headlamps*
Okay, but the post facelift NSX though.
I love popup headlights:p
But sadly in 1994 our hero Ayrton Senna died.
Didn't he love NSXs? Or was that another F1 racer...
ShiftyWilliaml He was the test drive for it's development
ShiftyWilliaml dude he made the NSX. He literally worked with Honda to develop it. So the NSX literally drives the way Ayrton Senna wants it to drive.
ShiftyWilliaml he tested one of the prototypes and gave feedback, from memory he convinced the designers to stiffen the chassis more which apparently made the car somewhat better
Senna was in part of developing the nsx
Wasn't that the one Mr Wolf drove in Pulp Fiction?
+spratsprat yes
Its thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.
Then the sound editor put a v8 engine sound over it...
were can i download the end song
Yup.
I've always wanted one of these. Literally always. Since the day I was born in 1976.
Forehead Jones wut?
Forehead Jones Are you a wizard?
I've seen one at a dealership for only 34k. There not that expensive.
Forehead Jones literally always? you were born and you immediately wanted an nsx?
brad cool Yes. It's the car I've always wanted.
you forgot one thing in 1994
senna's death!
the guy who improve the nsx in 1990 before its release
quite ironic
I was in the mountains in Nagano (Japan) and I came across AT LEAST 50 90s NSXs driving in a line. It was a NSX meetup, and to see so many of these cars I’ve idolized since I was a kid was pretty cool.
That freestyle at the end was dope,like Nas in 94..
Crazy Oj got parole today lol.
another reason 1994 was a great year.
Let's not forget ready to die by BIG
Nothing is freestyle
He got them street bars. Earned his pass righteously.
That's what you get for a car that Ayrton Senna helped develop.
This beauty, and its other brother from another mother (and father) McLaren F1 GTR, is my 90's dream car.
And Kurosawa Motoharu.
He was only responsible for the suspension tuning.
Kamofy that's a huge part of the car
Ki i agreed.
The NSX to me is one of my favorite attainable sports cars (hell you can argue it’s a supercar). Out of the C5 Corvette, NA Miata, Subaru STI and Evo 9, this is probably my second favorite one since the entinte Corvette line is my favorite car ever. But the NSX provides s i m p l i c i t y . In a world filled with straight pipes, turbo hood exit exhausts and crazy rolled fenders with tighter fitment than a nun’s asshole, the NSX gives enough power but a beautiful amount of handling. Oh and the body, bless the body lines, bless the makers of this vehicle. Bless the late Ayrton Senna (he makes me proud to be Brazilian at least), because without Honda and Senna what car would take the NSX’s place? All the Italian supercars came with too much horsepower and looked like a kindergartener’s wet dream, there was always space for a fantastic handling, decent horsepower, mid engine, manual car, but there was no car in the space until the NSX came by. Bless the NSX
Wild _Toilet it is a super car. what part about it isn't a super car? it fills all the requirements to be one.
@@ahapainenpaavo6010 not nearly enough power to be a supercar. if handling alone were enough, then things like the lotus elise would be a supercar. the NSX is exactly what the OP said it is.
sproly born Not enough power? This car was made to beat Ferraris and that's what it did.
@@ahapainenpaavo6010 It beat SOME ferraris. I would also argue that the 348, the one the NSX beat is not a supercar either because it too lacks power in the context of a supercar. The supercar of that year made by ferrari was the 512. The NSX did not beat the 512.
sproly born So you think a super car needs to hit some magical horsepower number in order to be a supercar. this is hopeless.
when i sold the nsx back in 1991 the key was actually made of titanium. in connection with the titanium elements that were implemented into the car's engine. ;-)
I had no idea you watched regular car reviews that's awesome!!! PS I love the NSX one of the best Japanese cars ever produced plus I already watched you quickie car review on it!!!!
Grant Moseley he he he first and foremost i'm a "real car" nut... hot wheels just make it possible for me to fulfill that hunger lol without trying to be jay leno's garage lol
Would this car be adequate for track day, bro ?
MrTabarnaco2 On a slower technical track yes.
Indy7272 so pretty much any damn public track in the states that has at least one S turn
....
R2D2 one sorry ment to tag op
MrTabarnaco2 Nah, you'd be better off getting something like a brand new Focus ST, it'd murder this on any track and you'd have a bucketload of money left over to make it go even faster & no originality or rarity guilt about modifying it or wrecking it. This is not a fast car in the modern world. No doubt rewarding to drive, but not fast. Good investment too.
MrTabarnaco2 you don't race investments....unless you can afford 2
This guy should have been a successor to Jeremy Clarkson
He said the same thing about the gear shifter that Clarkson's said...
Roman's rap at the end is so fantastic
That was better than even the best rhymes Kayne could spew.

Is this Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus?
Hugh Jass yes
No, this is patrick
***** It will live on.
That being said it looks like it could be Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus
That rap at the end....excellent!
This car is the hottest car made in the 90’s. Car of the decade.
3:33 *and this scene is sponsored by FedEx*
'Of course this is manual, why wouldn't it be?' Fucking lol.....so true
The amount of great albums released in 1994 is just staggering.
Best ending song yet.
Mitsubishi GTO MR '95 (after '95 they stopped doing active aero, and swapped to that stupid monstrous wing)
Nissan Skyline GTR R33 '95
Toyota Supra RZ (MK IV '95)
Honda NSX '95
Subaru Impreza WRX STI '95 (2nd Gen had those stupid bug headlights)
The mid 90's was such a great year for cars.
hmmm, the list thought, referring to Gran Turismo main car, right?,
Gara Von Hoiwkenzoiber "Nissan Skyline GTR R33 '95"
yeh except the R33 was biggger, slower, heavier, and you didnt have the fuse trick for the diff like you did with the R32 GTR.
honestly the R33 was just a downgrade
Gara Von Hoiwkenzoiber And the forgotten rally god: Celica GT4.
King Geedorah Actually the R33 was a faster car around the track than the 32. Also, they aged much better than the 32 did. The 32 feels like an ancient heap of shit when you're in it, but the 33 still feels modern. And fuse trick, who cares? Why would you buy an AWD car just to haphazardly make it RWD?
koopatroopa187"Actually the R33 was a faster car around the track than the 32"
do you have a source for this? i would love to see it considering the handling of the R33 is much worse due to its weight.
"Also, they aged much better than the 32 did. The 32 feels like an ancient heap of shit when you're in it,"
that entirely depends on the car and its owner.
"And fuse trick, who cares? Why would you buy an AWD car just to haphazardly make it RWD?"
this is a matter of opinion, just because you dont see a use for it doesnt mean that it is useless.
That R. Kelly joke really aged well.
Also the greatest rap album of all time, Illmatic, came out in 1994.
Riley Freeman and Nas raps about it in Illmatic to.
Riley Freeman I came to the comments looking to see if someone put READY TO DIE
Jose Martinez hahah you’re mad
Yea Nas raps about it in “street dreams”
Can't freakin wait for the POV drive of this car :O
hell yissssssss!
Hagz500R This needs to happen!

One of the funniest, yet informative reviews ever! Thank you for making this video. I am delighted to have one - 1991.
Honda is the only badge I want on that car
You can buy Honda parts to fix that. I've seen it done.
Just buy jdm version
Not but the H.
Wooow, wait a sec, is this Matt Farrah's million mile Lexus?
Had a 92, it was amazing and extremely comfortable. When you accelerate the front end wanted to take off. Wonderful daily.
DAILY?! 🧐 if you had too much money buy me one 😂😂
hahaha he mentioned Pulp Fiction....wonder if he realized that the NSX was in Pulp Fiction
Mr Wolf car... haha
i remember it being on Seinfeld
that phone tho
What about the phone?
It's not like everyone are brainwashed to buy trendy, smartphones with touch screens.
Those are for the masses. And they surely look all the same.
Damn, I love the NSX.
Hell yes! Who wants good performance phones, with fast connection, decent browsers and stuff?? Fk evolution.
You really did not get it. I will have a even better browser after I get home to sit on my couch and enjoy all 47" of screen area and *constant and stable* 50Mbps connection.
During other times I still have text messaging and phone numbers AND A LIFE that is not wasted by some stupid looking platter.
Not everyone is going with the (stupid) mainstream, Ya Know?
BlackStar250874 My 4G connection is fast and stable, and even if it weren't i'm not playing shit online to need this kind of stuff. To be honest, you do whatever you want with your life, but saying shit about smartphones is like saying shit about electronic injection, doesn't make any sense at all...
Well said. A phone is a phone and a computer is a computer.
"It's a manual, why wouldn't it be?" That's what I thought, until I found out that automatic NSXs were ACTUALLY MADE. KILL ME NOW.
I’ll add some salt to the wound. Less hp and lower redline, did have power steering vs manual transmission cars did not
While 1994 was an embarrassment of riches, the man who fine-tuned the chassis of this car also passed at Imola. Full circle, I guess?
"Engine displacement of whatever" hahahaha!
They nailed the interior design of the NSX. Gorgeous. It doesn’t look new, but it doesn’t look ancient. As you said, it’s beautifully timeless. It’s very easy on the eyes and everything just looks...right. Interesting tread pattern on the spare.
this is my dream car...
Mine too. There’s a ‘91 near my house that’s not running and in the back of my mind I’m always thinking about asking the owner if he’d sell it... but cars that have been sitting for that long probably aren’t worth fixing.
@@yammmit if you did, fixing it could result in more expenses, it can be more expensive than what you get at a mint condition
Farrell that’s why I said probably not worth it. Still it makes me sad to see a great car die.
@@yammmit i feel your pain
Can you do the Nissan 300SX Twin Turbo? lol
sum moner it's zx, not sx
4rvis The keys are next to each other. It's a common mistake.
I would have just called it a Fairlady Z Z32.
Car Of Doom Not as cool as 300zx.Just like more people say S14 over 240sx.
HoboWithWiFi WEll, with that it's more confusing.
Because you have the RPS13 (pop up headlights), S13 (Silvia) and then Kouki and Zenki bodystyles of the S14 and the really well known S15.
Watching in 2019 the r kelly joke is even better
you should do the 300zx
Raj Vashi this
This is like, the most positive review I have ever heard on here. Well deserved!
😂"Being someone's life preserver is not what I call progress." So much truth.
I was born in '94 anyone else?
Hi, kid
Ethan McAuley
Hi lol

11094DEREK Yup 94 Right here!
Justin Bieber was also born in 94
God, I want one!
I do too!
Bryan Liguori I really do too. I don't mind of its the early one or a later one without pop up headlights.
all my fave cars are Honda usually.
Honda NSX, Honda DC2 type r, Honda civic crx VTi and Honda civic ek9 type r..
one exception is the Nissan R32 GTR
Bryan Liguori get in line
Meh. I only really appreciate RWD cars. Humble-but-overachieving Civic Sis and V-6 Accords are cool though. The R32 looks great, but I don't care for AWD or turbocharging (compared to alternatives to both).
Bryan Liguori awd can handle like a rwd car of the distribution on the rear axle is more.
I suppose you like the Skyline GTS rather than a GTR then
The rap at the end was amazing. Skyrim is amazing heh.
And Portishead's Dummy, Blur's Parklife, Dumb & Dumber, Interview with the Vampire, Stargate, The Professional, Crumb, True Lies. In 1994 the American car market was still cool. The RX7 was still alive. The 240SX hadn't gone all soft and undesirable yet. The Supra. Civic Si hatchback! The e34 5 series was still for sale. Viper GTS. The original DB7.
But let's not forget the bad: 90's Pontiacs were in full flight, Junior came out and destroyed Arnold's otherwise impeccable career, and Bush gave the go-ahead to shitty mediocre rock in the wake of grunge (the band, not the president, but I wouldn't put it past him to do something equally heinous). I believe that 1994 was the beginning of a decade or more of sucktitude for cars, movies, music alike.
The 5th Element was the last glimmer of hope before we settled into a veritable desert of shit. The Lexus IS300 came along and I perked up a little in '99. Subaru threw us a bone with the WRX and got the ball rolling. Really we should all thank Subaru for reminding Americans that enthusiast cars existed.

The last time I saw an NSX in real life, it was getting air on a desert trail in Arizona.
"this car is so UNDERrated" (mrmister1227)
there, edited/ proofread it for ya.
its hard for a car to be overrated when it gets just as much or more criticism for only having 270-290 hp, and maintaining the same basic appearance thourgh its life time, (big one, in fact in 2003, people went to an acura dealership and saw a 2002 nsx, they immediately shyed away from the car b/c it looked hardly different than the 1991.) making it kinda underappreciated.
NSX is all about the handling. put in perspective, how many low slung exotics or even sports cars dont try to send you in to the guardrail when driving spiritedly around the bends. and only weigh 2800 lbs? 290 was enoujgh to get a small car like this flying back in 94 yet it was perfectly planted to the ground and easy to control.
corvette c5/c6 and porsche 993 (air cooled) are close in weight (3100 lbs) but factory stock, they are hard to drive at their limits without spinning around you would need some kind of suspension/brake/tire modifications to keep those cars planted to the ground.
the supra and 3000gt (and skyline gt-r) were the other 300+hp contenders from japan, but they were heavy and needed the extra power to pull all that heft, but ultimately that weight takes its toll on the handling and response.
and then reliability (yes i know cliche, but flash back to 1994, it was a big deal.
back then reliable sports cars with trouble-free maintenance were like a UNICORN.)
on reliability ferrari, mclaren, and lambo werent the only ones to learn a lesson from the NSX. it shaped the industry even further than we realize.
(without the "challenge" from the NSX, Chevy would still be churning out c4 lt1 corvettes - does OPTISPARK ring a bell?.)
hence the nsx is UNDERRATED.
also why a lot of NSX's are chosen as a platform for modifications. a car that i sperfectly balanced, handles very crisp and is lightweight but can be supercharged for cheap, (or turbocharged for a bit more)
I grew up in the 80ies - 90ies. This was one of my favorites in Need for Speed (the first game - PC)
Did you just pronounce "Koenigsegg" as "coolinigzegg?" (5:55)
Yeah well I have an '87 Prelude Si 4WS, so you could say it's pretty much an NSX.
+Cinnabun Sarcasm? I hope so.
Pyrochazm yes.
Cinnabun is it a mark ii? there's one for sale here, thinking of buying it, a 1985
2.0 L B20A3/A4 SOHC I4
oh boy those with the rear wheel steering thingy...every ricer boy i knew in those days made mountains out of it....then their 'guy they knew' or their 'cousin' came with one to get kicked around by stock fox body mustang with a 4:10 or 4:30 rear end.
those people really didint understood that those car where not pony cars and was not at its best at drag racing. now that im older and dont have those idiots around making me hating on them its quite a nice little fun car (still not convinced by the rear wheel thingy) but still.
the only car early ricer boys loved more than those were those little RWD toyota ...they looked a little like nissan 240 i forgot the name. the engines were quite weak to be honest
Some cars never look dated, always cool and timeless. This is certainly one of them. Always a head turner.
5:23 I think in all my years of living this is the first time I've ever seen an pop up NSX's headlights.
I loved this car back in the 90s. I would have killed to get one.
Thank you Mr. Regular. Thank you. I love you.
That verse at the end was actually pretty 🔥.
BARS.
I was literally thinking "I wonder if Regular Car Reviews has a review of the NSX"
I was happy to see this in my subs.
Dell0304 I got extremely excited lol
Dell0304 now they need to do the Acura integra Type r
ye
Dell0304 Now they need to do a galant VR4 or a mk2 supra.
They did an '87 supra, not sure off the top of my head if it's mk2
That ending had me going😂😂😂
HILARIOUS OPENS
As weird as it seems, the interior reminds me a lot of a 928.
I'm starting to think that this should be a grand tourer than a normal sports car
To be honest, the nsx has gotta be one of the most amazing cars ever made.
Through superior engineering, Honda got it (everything) right on the first try.
Mr. Regular. You are a God.
yes he is
Why is it called Honda NSX in other parts of the world?
skullhacks78 Because Acura only exists in the USA. Don't know about south america but it sure doesn't exist in Europe sadly. Honda is the mother company and Acura is the same thing as lexus is to toyota. Just a luxury brand
So Honda cars are made with lower quality components than Acura cars? And whats the point of doing this? Reminds me of when I went to Britain and all Opel cars had a wierd logo saying "vauxhall" or something like that
Ah, okay. Didn't know Honda had that reputation in NA
skullhacks78 yeah Honda in the 80s - early 90s is very much how Kia/Hyundai is viewed in the US. It was a cheap budget brand. Acura was created to separate it from that pack. Now Acura is a premium brand, and Honda is in the middle. The Acuras received more premium features like poshed up interior features than their Honda underpinnings.

No, they are made of the same parts and have the same reliability. Like the Acura ILX and Honda Civic are essentially the same car. Its just one gets a slightly nicer interior.
Apparently us Americans like to have different names for things to make ourselves feel more exclusive. I could see that being true; we are a very materialistic bunch. If someone is buying a more expensive car they want to show it.
Exactly why there are lots of people buying old BMWs and Mercs who cannot afford to maintain them. They are buying it for the "prestige" that the badge brings.
Ex. Nissan/Infiniti and Honda/Acura were mainly launched in the North American markets and the majority of their sales are there. The majority of Acura's vehicles are rebadged with the luxury versions getting nicer interiors; the majority of their cars share significant portions of the mechanical bits.
Toyota/Lexus is very similar, it was launched mainly in the North American market (but has expanded much further than Infinit or Acura I believe). You could say that Lexus and Infinit are very closely related; both are used to sell cars which do not have a USDM equivalent. Unlike Acura, which mainly rebadges models which have equivalents, Lexus and Infinit both use their marques to sell JDM vehicles in North America. Nissan Skyline/Nissan G35, Toyota Soarer/Lexus SC 300 are just two examples.
I have great respect for Honda’s engineering; the company’s outstanding… but they have no soul.
Hear me out (or don’t). Their vehicles are refined and every element is thought about to the nth degree… except for one thing: passion.
I’ve owned several Honda motorcycles and cars. They’re bulletproof. They perform. But, they’re essenceless.
They’re not Mazda trying to recreate British sports cars with the Miata. They’re not BMW pursuing pure driving feeling. They’re not even Kia pursuing the equivalent of a car you’d expect to get in a 1980’s McDonald’s Happy Meal.
No. Honda makes unbelievably reliable, perfectly respectable vehicles. Without passion. Without intent.
The cars they do make that are outstanding seem to be released a few years ahead of their time and are therefore canceled too soon. Think S2000, Element, even CRX.
Over in motorcycles, you can’t beat Honda but the lack of passion remains. Where’s the bleeding-edge Hayabusa? Why aren’t they pursuing oddities like the triple-cylinder Triumphs?
My 2003 Interceptor was alright. My 2005 F4i was fine.
And here’s where the irony rolls in - Honda is at its best when it’s emulating someone else. The NSX stands the test of time because it’s a reliable Ferrari.
My best Honda? My 2001 Shadow Sabre 1100cc which was the best Harley-Davidson motorcycle ever made.
I love you, Honda, but, for the love of everything motored, grow some passion.
… or just bring back the damn S2000 already, dammit.
(Great video, guys! 😀)
it is unbelievable how well the NSX has aged. the coolest car.
The first gen NSX is still my favorite car, even after all this time. It truly does have a timeless elegance to it's design.
It's funny you mentioned Pulp Fiction, what did Mr. Wolf drive?
A NSX... THAT'S WHAT! 💯
Lower than minimum wage, ain’t that the truth
