I'm selling my NSX after owning it for less than three weeks. I initally bought a 91 NSX auto because I wanted to experience what everyone was raving about regarding the NSX. My postive impressions were that it is a quick, very easy to drive supercar, the negatives were that it did not handle that sharply (the front end did not give me a lot of confidence in the twisties, it kinda floated out there) and it felt and drove too much like a typical Acura. It just did not deliver the hard core sportscar feel. I did test drive another manual transmission car and that had more sporty feel but nevertheless it still felt like a modified integra.
The Ferrari 348 is the best sportscar I ever owned hands down by far. It is extremely direct and explosively responsive. Driving it on the same twisties as I took the NSX, the Ferrari gave me much more confidence in pushing it and the front end really sticks extremely well. I was able to initite power slides on turns that I couldn't or was afraid to do with the NSX. The Ferrari also feels and sound much more hardcore sportscar like. Btw, I have the 348 Challenge model which is a step up performance wise over the stock 348.
I am not knocking the NSX, just saying that it wasn't my cup of tea. I do understand why NSX owners raves so much about their cars, it does deliver extremely competent perfomance in a no-nonsense way. But for the prospective NSX buyers looking to spent over 40k you should definitely test drive a 348 for comparison sake. I never realize how good the 348 was until owning one, it is the real deal. Btw, I prefer the 348 over the 355 because it has a much more edgy at the limits feel, plus it is almost half the price of a 355.
