now and again, I still miss the SVXi but have moved onto another Japanese car manufacturers product that also is only known by 3 letters...and their car is not AWD but is mid engined tho..

I didn't know that KIA made a mid engine car.

Lee...thanks for the tip, I must[not] have a close look at their range of cars, for a mid engined something

how do you like the nsx? i hear mixed reviews. some say its a great super car. others say the engine is anemic, its a death trap, the interior is reminisint of a civic, and a over priced car that doesnt perform as good as sports cars that cost half as much (m3, 911 are the ones i hear in owner reviews.) having never driven one i cant tell you my opinion, how do you like it?

Yes, but an RE5 has it's engine between the front and back wheel!

Ok mine's a stock NSX and an auto 12 yrs old with only 18600kms on it !!, red of course with black roof, 2nd owner Honda had it in their show room for 6 yrs on a turntable with some other exotics [966] and sold off it to move Accords etc etc...How's it drive..well

Remember an auto 188KW, weighing just over 1300kgs...[no power mode tho

] but very quick 0-100kph in around 6 secs, auto shifts r very crisp, very low to the ground so handles awesome, VTEC engine has a great sound as it gets into it [bit like a 911 in its note..auto redline just over 7500rpm..sounds nearly as good as the Bose system Honda fitted, they have a switchable traction control..fun in the wet, its crazy in the dry even ..turning left or right can easily step out..just great fun...I miss the SVX but sitting in the drivers seat of an NSX and driving is very intoxicating..

Sold here for two years...I almost bought one in Arkinsaw, actually trading my Dasher Wagon for one..but the title had not shown yet !!!! Damn..almost bought another, but the guy's father would not sell it. Single rotor 500cc..making it a 500 triple....terrific road bike.

A guy I work with bought one for $150, had me look at it, I pulled the carb apart (looked like a Car Carb, NOTHING like a bike carb

), never got it to run very good, as I had no experience with a rotory motor....I think he hauled it off to scrap...
