Hello everyone,

Are there any NSX owners here who use their NSX as daily drivers? If there are, any advice you can give to a prospective/new NSX owner?

Thanks again...
 
do a search you will find a ton of discussion on this subject =)

although i drive mine every day provided its not a blizzard outside... =)

drive it like you own it =)
 
One of the reasons I bought my NSX was so that I could count on it to be driven any day I wanted. Like Khappucino however, I do not drive it in snow (or rain). Personally speaking, I do not see a point in driving a sports car intentionally in bad weather :wink:.
 
i drive mine everyday as well, luckily enough i live in california where the weather is usually sunny, ill even drive in rainy days (depending on how bad) and if i really need to or not.
 
I have 11K miles in 9 Months. I have an 06 RSX-S for bad weather and it only has 3K so I think it has become my garage queen......Steve

Drive it every day, except for the winter, obviously.

The rain is fun, though. Wet parking lots are a great way to pass time.


my kung fu is not strong enough for this yet =) all the parking lots near me have these big concrete barriers =)
 
Everyday these days:biggrin:
 
Awesome...Thanks everyone...Good to know a lot of NSX owners out there do drive their cars every day, and in the rain. Fortunately, I live in Las Vegas, where we get less than an inch of rain per year, so I don't have too many rainy days to worry about...=)
 
Wow, well it definitely seems like those who use their NSX's as daily drivers are enjoying every minute. But now that you have used your NSX's as daily drivers, are there any of you out there that wish you had used it as a weekend car instead & preserved the mileage on your car? Or if you could do it all over again, would you still use it as a daily driver?

its a honda, not a ferrari. drive the damn thing and quit worrying about it is my philosophy.

Thanks OneRedNSX, I totally see your point, but to me, it does feel like a ferrari, so I just wanted to see if anyone had any regrets with making their NSX a daily driver...=)

No regrets. For me, it's a car not an investment. Plus, the engine can be rebuilt and parts are still available :biggrin:

Thanks Lutera, very true, perhaps I am making this car out to be something more than it is...=)

nope, you're just underestimating the philosophy behind it. it was built to be driven, not to be looked at and never get over 3,000 miles a year.
 
Hi Zenky, I agree, after OneRedNSX & lutera's repy, it sort of put things in perspective for me. That's just what I needed to hear. Thanks a bunch you guys...=)

You'll be fine dude, just enjoy the NSX and let everyone drool while your driving on the street. Not all are fortunate to drive the masterpiece. Now get out the keyboard and start enjoying her. :)
 
i drive mine daily, even though now im in the process of picking up a 2nd car as a daily driver not so much cause i dont want to put miles on the nsx but more so i can drive to work and downtown to the city ect and park it wherever and not have to worry about the nsx being damaged. that and for bad weather days so i dont have to keep on washing the nsx :)

Hi Zenky, I still need to pick it up on Saturday, or possibly have it shipped on Saturday, depending on my work schedule. But I do plan on enjoying driving her as soon as I can. I feel like a kid during the Christmas holiday, just way too excited, and way too anxious...=)

That was a worry of mine also. Between my wife and I, we have a third car already, so I might keep it for a while, and see how things go. Otherwise, I can always drive the wife's car into the questionable areas...=)
 
Mine was my daily all summer.

Parked it everywhere, including busy streets right outside bars and stuff.

I figure if it can survive the Safeway parking lot, it's good to go.

I hope I can sell this Galant soon and get my Jeep so I have something fun for the winter and rainy days. I don't mind driving the NSX in the rain, but I despise washing cars, so if it can be avoided, I will.
