Underrated? - Seating position and forward view
One of the things that always surprises people when they get in the NSX with me is the seating position and forward view in the NSX.
Usually, people are surprised at how much room they have for their legs.
Even more, they are especially surprised by the low window line and the unobstructed forward view from the NSX. Admittedly, by far, most people who get into the car are not used to any kind of serious sportscar and drive the usual BMW, Audi, Volkswagen or similar car.
At the same time, one of the things I always notice is just how DEEP you are seated in most cars these days and how high the dashboard and window line often is.
Many times, the dasboard is blocking out a large part of the forward view in many cars. Maybe people feel more secure by sitting in a bathtub but I like so see what goes on around me.
Even serious modern sportscars seem to have this deficiency. Granted, I am not a big guy, but even if I would be, I would prefer the clear and unobstructed view from the NSX over the partly blocked out view from most other cars.
Personally, I think the view from the NSX is an underrated designmark of the NSX.
