Honda enthusiast...new to Nissan

There are a number of Honda/Acura guys who jumped ship including myself. Many of the reasons listed above. But I have to agree with most. I think you will be very happy with the 370z over the NSX. I came from an S2000 and I have not regretted my decision at all. The car has tons of power, rides well, and has a great community to back it up.

Either way good luck with your search.

I'm in the same situation as the OP. I've owned Honda's all my life, the only Nissan I've owned was a S13 coupe back 5 or so years ago. I sold my STi last year and since then I've had my sights on the NSX or 370Z.

The NSX is getting older and it's hard to find one (in the same price range as the Z) and have the value be even slightly worth the price you have to pay.

1991-1995 NSX's are going to be in the $22-35k range and then the NA2s are just in another league price wise $40k +. I think for the same price (on average $29k for a Base/Sport) the Z offers a greater value for your money. When compared to a used 15+ year exotic car... I can't justify it.

I would love to own an NSX, however at this point, I'm not going to be able to shell out $50k for the one I'd want to own.. instead I'll go with the car that makes much more sense and will probably make me just as happy. The 370Z.
