I am seriously considering a 2017 NSX later this year.

I have not driven one at this stage but would love to hear other owners thoughts and opinions.

Its fantastic.
Extremely quick when you want it to be, or easy and relaxed around town. I also have a Porsche Turbo and an Aston V12S Vantage. If you want clinical fast driving, the NSX is the best. If you want white knuckle driving, you get that in the Aston at 70% of the speed of the NSX.
The NSX will get you to your destination quicker and more relaxed. You need to push it very very hard to lose any traction.
It does have its draw backs. Infotech system is crap and boot space is limited. Doesnt sound as exciting as the other cars, but apart from that, it is a very very understated supercar .
You dont see that many around either :-)

Thank you qwick69.

I want to keep the performance of my GTR but in a package that is comfortable and the rarity also appeals and its a handsome thing too.

How has reliability been so far? From everything I have read it seems that it is pretty solid.

One last question if I may, do Honda have NSX only dealers for servicing as I am sure I read that only some dealers in the London area can service. Any truth in that or internet waffle?

Thanks again.

I think you will find it will out perform your GTR, unless youve had it fettled :-)
I am afraid you are correct, it has to be serviced at a Honda Approved Dealer, and I think they are both in London.
its not really an issue though, you just phone up a dedicated number and they arrange collection in a truck, take it away, then bring it back.
I have used this service three times. Once for a service (cost is FOC for first three years) and twice for warranty work (one issue was noisy door seal that they replaces, the other was for a faulty temp sensor).
Apart from those issues, it hasnt missed a beat, and I use it quite a bit, bit on the road and track
