Impressions of the Acura NSX for 1993
It is common to find buyers of the Acura NSX enthusiastic about their purchase. The NSX has been one of the premier vehicles of the Acura line for over ten years. It is an important car and the 1993 model is no exception. The Acura NSX falls into the coupe for the family category. The NSX inspires brand loyalty, and it’s not unusual to have a buyer purchase Acuras year after year
Standard equipment in the NSX for 1992 and 1993 includes the 3.0 liter engine by Honda, weighing in at 6 cylinders and twenty four valves. A 5-speed Standard Transaxle puts the power of the VTEC engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Coupe arena.
The fuel system for the 1993 NSX is a traditional PGM-FI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 18.50 gallons.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The NSX comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.
99.60 of wheelbase allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers. It sits 45.60 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The dimensions of the NSX Base are 174.20 inches long by 71.30 inches wide.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $69,500 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.
The 1993 NSX gets 23 – 24 miles/gallon on the highway and only 18 – 19 in the city. This is subpar for a coupe car.
The vehicle is available in several colors.
The standard warranty period for the NSX is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the coupe market.
There are several reasons why the Acura NSX Base sold well in 1993. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Acura, specifically a NSX.
Good article. At first I felt like I needed to refute your review of the Acura NSX, but after further reflection I can see your point of view. Perhaps my personal NSX Base is an abberation. What is everyone else’s experiences?
