Doug's Take
The original Acura NSX is one of the most iconic Japanese sports cars ever made, boasting a high-revving V6 mounted in the middle, fantastic handling, and styling that still looks gorgeous even after all these years. This particular NSX has a lot going for it, including the highly desirable 5-speed manual transmission and an attractive color combination. It also boasts a reasonably low 61,400 miles, and the only change from stock is tinted windows. It also makes me especially happy to see this particular Acura again, as it was our first NSX on Cars & Bids – and I'm sure the next owner will enjoy the thrills it has to offer!
