MY FIRST ACURA NSX DRIVE! IMAGINE THIS WITH MODERN HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses a long-held curiosity about the 2019 Acura NSX, finally getting a chance to drive it. While acknowledging its supercar looks and impressive engineering, particularly the hybrid system with torque vectoring, the reviewer notes it wasn't a performance benchmark against its hypercar contemporaries upon release. Key takeaways include its surprisingly comfortable and daily-drivable nature, akin to a more mundane Acura, contrasting sharply with its aggressive styling. The reviewer praises the powertrain's integration of electric motors to fill torque gaps and enhance dynamics, noting its quiet operation in electric mode and a satisfying, albeit not extreme, V6 sound in sportier modes. However, criticisms surface regarding the brake pedal feel, which is described as not natural and lacking feedback compared to modern systems, and a peculiar programming logic that prevents engaging first gear at low speeds. Despite these drawbacks and a perceived lack of visceral hardcore feel, the reviewer concludes it's a technically brilliant and enjoyable car, especially on rough roads where its compliant suspension and torque vectoring shine, ultimately calling it an "everyday supercar" and expressing a desire to see a modern interpretation with current technology.
