Our Review of the 1996 Acura NSX T
The NSX T is equipped with a Honda 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The VTEC engine is mated to a Honda 5-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Acura.
The NSX uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
Statistics
The dimensions of the NSX T are 71.30 inches wide by 174.20 inches long. It sits 46.10 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 99.60 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.
The standard warranty period for the NSX is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. There is also a warranty on the powertrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively. This is standard in the coupe market.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $83,500 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.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 1996 NSX is a PGM-FI design, using gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 18.50 gallons.
The 1996 NSX gets 24 miles/gallon on the highway and only 18 in the city. This is below average for a coupe car.
Parting Shots
The 1995 model began the promise of the Acura NSX. The 1996 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Acura hopes that the NSX T will continue to be a profitable vehicle.

I’m liking Hyundai over Acura. It think it’s the difference in reliability. My first NSX worked quite well, but the second one (a T BTW) didn’t fare so well…
Yawn… Not much has changed since 1995 with this coupe.
