Advantages: Fast accelleration, 290hp and handles like a f1 car Disadvantages: the high price tag of 120,000+(canadian dollars)

I have seen and driven many sport cars, but I must say that the Honda NSX is a very wonderful car when it comes to performance. I got to see and drive the car when I was working at Acura Woodbine in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The car has a very aggresive and mean look and it was as if the car was saying it wanted to take on all challengers. I and the head mechanic took the car for a test drive and at first, we drove the car normal and if felt very smooth and you could hear the high reving engine just begging to be pushed but it was'nt time yet. The interior looked very nice, because honda got some special seats done for them by recaro (the company that makes seats for sport cars, planes, buses and trucks). It also has a chrome shift nob, the radio and cd panels are chrome and silver plated and leather dash, power windows, and a rear power window so u could see the engine. The car is a mid engine rear wheel drive car that packs a mean punch. When we drove the car back to the dealership I punched it and I reached a hundred km/hr in about 4.6 seconds and I can tell u that it was a cool 4.6 seconds, because the accelleration is so fast and the car handles so well, but for rainy conditions it is not a good idea to drive this car, because it is a rear wheel drive car and if u drive this car at high speeds in rainy conditions there may be problems of spinning out and getting the cars best performance, because of the performance tires. Other than the lack of driving in rainy conditions fast and the high price tag, because it is Honda's flagship car, the car is a wonderful car and it is a good eyecatcher when driven on the streets of Toronto or in any city.
Advantages: Lovely car to drive, nuns notwithstanding. Disadvantages: The fog light switch is obscured by the steering wheel, so you might...perhaps...forget you've got the fogs on.
I?d like to get started on this little journey by dispelling a few myths.
Myth 1: Honda Accords are old men?s cars
Myth 2: Hondas are boring
Myth 3: Honda Accords are only good for ferrying the family about.
In order, then:
#1) I am not old?I just look that way due to a hard life!
#2) The Total Cup 1997 was won by Rob Gravett in?a Honda Accord! Additionally, Accords were 5th and 6th in the British Touring Car Championships in 1997, 3rd in 1998, 4th in 2000 etc etc. Honda also make F1 engines for 2 teams; Jordan and BAR AND Honda build the utterly beautiful 276 bhp NSX.
#3) I don?t have to ferry my family about very often (but when I do, the Accord has a monster boot, so I can plonk my sons in there no probs, therefore keeping up appearances for the neighbours.)
Right?that?s got that off my chest. Now let?s take a look ...
