Thanks so much! Couldn’t be happier with it. The previous owner was meticulous with the car.
I've been on the EV daily driver since 2013. I'm currently waiting on the upgrade plan for the big pen1s to Mars
I drive a 22 TLX Type S in blue. All in all, a very nice DD.
Just picked up a new daily. 2007 Civic Si
I've always loved the look of this car, and have completely fallen in love with it over this first week of ownership. My wife and I rented a 2023 Accord and drove from WI to Cali to pick it up and this 2007 Civic Si is as quiet on the freeway as the Accord was. The interior has a similar dash forward design as the NSX and the seats are great. K20Z3 is 180/130 to the wheels roughly and although i/h/e + tune will get you a dyno of 210/150 I'm planning on keeping it stock. Stock mechanical LSD and really short gearing. If you keep it in vtec it feels really quick. It's got some sun fade, and I'll be putting on Eibach pro kit/Koni yellows, but otherwise solid.
Redline is 8300 and it pulls all the way there happily. Wish I had gotten one earlier.

Those were great cars for having some fun in!
OP here. Awesome seeing all of your daily drivers! I finally pulled the trigger on a daily. I got the cheapest new car with a manual that I was willing to drive. 43 MPG highway. My first VW, so we'll see how reliable it is!
First thing I did was add a small lip.

None of my cars is under the age of 30! But I LOVE them all …lol
The one on the left is my daily driver car for summertime, the one on right for wintertime. The NSX is just for the weekends & free time in summer.

KB1 Legend SH-AWD with the super rare night vision. Now a beater, but that car is amazing.
Too bad they didn't put that SH-AWD in the Accord.
The Night Vision is kinda gimmicky https://global.honda/newsroom/news/2004/4040824a-eng.html

Late to the party, but here's mine...2019 Mustang GT. I'm in NH, so I just slap the snow tires on in November. It's fast and fun, but it's all NSX on nice days April-November.
It's a laptop on wheels. Don't do it!
Really Bad weather... Toyota Tacoma
Bad weather... Subaru Crosstrek
so so weather (no snow)... NC1 NSX
Sunny weather... S2000
Really great weather, when the NC1 isn't available... NA1 NSX
My 09 Tacoma (same as yours, but auto) 62,000 miles
I have a Model S and a Model Y. I’m keeping the NSX because it is too good not to keep but for daily driving I have no more interest in all the noise, vibration, endless gear shifting, maintenance, etc of ICE cars. It’s easy to rent a Tesla for a few days now so you can do that and see if it’s for you.
I have a couple friends who have all flavors of them and they have convinced me that our next daily will be EV. Power seems effortless, super quiet driving, leaving each day with a full tank of gas, basically no maintenance besides tires. It's really hard to say no, especially if you have a fun car on the side.
I might have gone for the base 3 if they had the full 7.5k tax incentive when i purchased my daily. Very economical and fast for its price. Insurance was slightly higher than of a $28k car. But, build quality, potential lack of parts/mechanics after an accident, and lack of buttons are what concerned me. Still, very competitive now as a commuting car option for many people.
