my brother has a 355 spyder and I had the chance to drive the car around for the weekend.
these are my quick thoughts on the car...
Positive attributes:
the car looks great, sounds un-real above 4K rpm, handles great, great status symbol, and very quick...
down side:
if you have big feet, it can be a pain to drive.
$20/Quart oil and $450 oil changes,
(With time as a variable, staying constant) every 1K miles you drive the car = $1-2K in depreciation in value (if you are lucky)
if anything needs service, you must take it to a certified Ferrari dealer, vs a NSX you can get it serviced in any moderately sized city (since Acura dealerships are everywhere)
The timing belt needs to be changed at 30K miles and the entire engine needs to removed.
So basically, if you can afford to drive, maintain the car, and could care less about depreciation, then by all means buy one! otherwise, keep the NSX. It's Italian design, vs Japanese Engineering.
At the end of the weekend, I was much happier to be driving my NSX on a daily basis. It's much less of a headache and if you worry much about your NSX now, just wait until you have a Ferrari.
but to each, his own...
