Performance

4.5/512 of 12 reviewersstrong consensus

the way this car pulls, it's on a slightly different level to the GT3, and it's mostly down to the instant electric torque.

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 20:20

The brutality combined with the smoothness is just mind-blowing.

positive · TheTopher · ▶ 15:51

it's quick, it's really quick

Handling

4.5/512 of 12 reviewersstrong consensus

At canyon speeds, this car feels invincible.

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 9:03

I cannot unstick the rear which means that I just get the front end just that doesn't go where I want it to go

mixed · Throttle House · ▶ 13:39

This vehicle feels so incredibly stiff, so balanced.

Fun to drive

4.5/512 of 12 reviewersconsensus

I'm really thoroughly enjoying this driving experience. Lots of grip, lots of composure.

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 13:25

it's a very very special car to drive it's a very easy car to live with and drive on a daily basis

positive · TheTopher · ▶ 8:28

I don't feel like I can really have fun at the limit and it's a shame

Daily drivability

4.5/511 of 12 reviewersconsensus

It's a lot more forgiving as a street car. In fact, it's downright luxurious in terms of the ride quality in the level of noise.

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 30:45

still one of my favorite daily drivable supercars

positive · TheTopher · ▶ 2:38

the most civilized supercar that I've ever driven

Value

4.0/512 of 12 reviewersstrong consensus

This is truly a Honda Acura product... overall, you can still expect Honda levels of build quality and reliability.

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 38:23

at $114,000, you get a lot of driving experience for the money.

positive · Jubbal & Cars · ▶ 12:28

This Type S model at 170 grand is still a steal if you really want a hybrid supercar.
