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?

In years past, not only was I a member of the NSXCA, but served as Instructor in 2 club-sponsored driving events.
I forgot to mention, the NSX seats-despite minimal adjustability-were the most comfortable stock seats I have ever encountered.
