The interior of the car is very stylish with comfortable seats and cushion bolsters provided with seats wrapped in leather. The roofline of the car is a bit lower so taller passengers and drivers face difficulty getting in and out of the car although the shoulder and headroom for the drivers are satisfactory and it provides good visibility sideways, however, the front visibility is also fantastic. The driver’s seating position can be adjusted easily according to the driver’s height and the steering wheel is also very natural and easy to control. The quality of the paint and material used inside the cabin is excellent. It is a sports car so it does not give a large amount of cargo area but still, it offers a 4.4 cubic feet cargo area between the engine and the rear bumper, and two small bags can easily be fitted in it. Apart from this, it is also provided with cup holders, storage bins, and storage cabins for phones and sunglasses. The technology of NSX is very excellent. There is a seven inches touch screen on the front with nine Studio stereo speaker systems. The system is compatible with Android Auto and Apple Car play but some complaints are faced because of the infotainment system the reviewers say that the system looks outdated with a lack of redundant buttons and it is complex to use. The cabin noise is a bit aggressive and the voice control system is a bit difficult to operate because the cabin noise makes the voice commands ineffective even when there is no noise in the cabin, the voice control system is complex to control.

Major Competitors:

Mercedes Benz AMG GT gives tough competition to Acura NSX because GT R is a thrill to drive with a lot of the latest and exciting features but it is available at a high price as compared to Acura NSX.
