Hahahaha.

I disagree that the interior is dated, except the audio system.

It has one of the simplest, well designed climate control systems I've ever used in a car - minimal buttons, clear functions for each, easy access to every adjustment - it is very similar to the 370Z in function, but without the funny button locations.

It is lacking multimedia controls on the steering wheel, but has two button cruise control on the wheel (press both to cancel), has a locking down cruise control on/off on the stalk (none of this turn on every time you start), and every stalk is perfectly placed, with the turn signal being especially easy to use in momentary or locked mode.

Compared to the 370Z, everything works well with gloves or not, and you never accidentally change tracks when you are turning.

Except for the odometer, dash instruments are clear, clearly visible even at night, and exactly what you need.

I don't think the 370Z is bad, but I don't think the NSX has anything to apologize for either.

One of the first trips I took in the NSX (besides driving it 4 hours home) was to take it to a mechanic in Nashville - about an eight hour trip and it was perfectly comfortable the entire way.

^Can I has? :yum::yum:

I quite agree. Let me add that my 3 NSXs were the most reliable cars I have ever owned, never requiring anything but routine service. I never, ever had to use the factory warranty. They were also very refined. It is a shame Mr. Sochiro Honda, the company's founder and the driving force behind the NSX concept, died early in the car's run. Had he remained alive, I believe the NSX, in coupe form only, would have survived, been further refined and improved.

Yes, I agree with you. My NSX was very reliable as well, the only repairs it needed in 5 years of ownership (I had a 1991 from 2000-2005, from 55-75k miles) that were not regular maintenance included A/C conversion and a clutch I ruined (my own fault after accidentally leaving the e-brake on one day). I meant to compare the 370Z's reliability to Porsches and my Mini and M3...sorry for not being clear on that.

By the way retiredmd, are you a NSXCA member?

Yes, the NSX has the best instrument cluster and turn signal stalk (and manual transmission/shift lever feel) of any car I've owned.

But I disagree about the climate control in the NSX...the 370Z's is simpler looking and easier to use, in my opinion.

I forgot to mention, the NSX seats-despite minimal adjustability-were the most comfortable stock seats I have ever encountered.
