well im building a race NSX right now, and i can tell you that its a pretty simple car overall...the aluminum chassis is nice, but is making the cage a PITA

they are extremely reliable in stock form, its still a honda, and it would be rediculous to refute the point that hondas in stock form are damn near indestructable

but if you want to do a lot of mods its not a good car for that, but it seems like you wont be, so it might work out well for you

you cant haul groceries and or kids in a nsx. Also being in PA, the awd system of the evo will be very useful.

Don't question it and just flip the coin!!!!

They are both great cars. Just because the NSX is older doesn't mean anything, its still a bada$$ car. Especially if you take good care of it. They only bad thing is just the cost of maintenance for it.....

You really can't go wrong with either of the two.

Buy the NSX. You don't deserve your EVO anymore.

Why would you need to justify your car to anyone who knows nothing about motorsports or high performance vehicles?
Evo is a true bred rally car.
Mitsubishi races mildly modified evos in Group N class in World Rally Championship, possibly the toughest motor racing series in the world.
Both Evos and STis were designed at one point to be homologated for the Group A class where aerodymanics must remain same as their stock counterparts.
Such homologation rules brought the aerodynamic aids such as these "boy racer" rear wings, spoilers, hood scoops, etc.
I couldn't care less if everyone else disliked my car.

I work at an Acura dealership and see NSX's on a daily basis, yet I still drool over every one that comes into the shop. The engine, chassis, and body are all spectacular in my opinion and I think it will always be high on my list of favorite cars. That being said, NSX's are rather high maintenance. They are very reliable for sure, but even Honda's break from time to time and parts for these things are quite pricey, especially the aluminum pieces (which make up a big part of the car). They also tend to show their age pretty badly, inside and out, if not taken care of extremely well. But in the end, if you truly desire an NSX and can afford it, I say go for it.

i dont know what the hell age has to do with anything

NEW does not = NICER

there are plenty of older cars that are nicer, more collectible, get more attention, and are more valuable than the evo....it all comes down to what you like, buying a car for any other reason is retarded

Usually older car will have more wear and tear and no warranty. On a car as unique as a NSX, it can get expensive. For example, if for some odd reason you blow the engine, a OEM Ti rod will cost more than $700 each.
