Actually one major reason I don't really like NSX hybrid is its trunk size which is merely 4.4 cubic feet!!!

PS: Believe it or not... R8's trunk size is even smaller which is pathetically 4 cubic feet!!!

LC500 is better but its trunk is still very small... (But wait... LC500 has additional two back seats but NSX doesn't!!!)

My wife and I will definitely need some storage spaces in the car for a long trip...

Finally, someone tells this truth...

You don't need to buy a supercar to have supercar like handling. (Actually, I knew this about 20 years ago!!!)

PS: Please be noted a fully load Cayman GT4 could cost nearly 130,000. A full loaded 911 GT3 could cost over 200,000!!! Porsches without GT suspensions will NOT have supercar like handling!!! (including BMW M or Lexus F cars)
Of course, even a very good aftermarket suspension like Ohlins will NOT provide as the same refinedness as factory GT3/GT4 cars do!!! (That's why those GT3/GT4 are so expensive!!!)

People may ask why Japanese cars are so reliable??? Why they don't make mistakes.

Are they so smart that they don't make mistakes???!!! Of course NOT. Why they don't make mistakes now??? That's because they made A LOT MORE mistakes in the past!!! (Mistakes are NOT all that bad. Actually, mistakes will make you STRONGER!!!)
Actually a good stiff suspension is only one part of the story. You also need a very rigid car body. (That's why newer cars get heavier and heavier... That's why a very small new Nissan Z is heavier than a full size sedan Altima!!! Do you think Nissan adds some stones on Z??? Of course not!!! Sorry, I'm just kidding...)

Stiff suspension = immediate handling
Rigid car body = precise handling

My stock GSF had slower handling than G35S with PSS10. However, when the stock springs were LOADED at cornering, wow! my stock GSF provided much more precise steering and handling!!!

However, my GSF is still far from perfect... When I drove it on narrow mountain roads, if beyond 0.6G, it felt LOOSE again. (I don't like that loose and scared feeling)

PS: Some people can drive a softer body car at 1G or above on narrow mountain roads. I think they really have A BIG HEART!!! (That's what I mean I'm a SLOWER driver!!! I need a good solid car to HELP me!!!)
In addition, when a car is aged, the body rigidity of it should also get worse... (Maybe your car can keep a similar level of body rigidity but I keep playing with my cars. I don't think their body rigidities will keep a similar level!!!)

PS: To increase body rigidity, you can add some aftermarket chassis braces or bars...
I also found something interesting recently...

I think Yokohama summer tires are actually better for me!!! I think Bridgestone summer tires are too stiff for my Ohlins suspension. In addition, Bridgestone summer tires wear a bit quicker.

However, I do believe that Bridgestone should provide more grip than Yokohama...

PS:
Although Michelin summer times are more expensive than Bridgestone, Bridgestone tires wear a bit faster. So, all in all, Bridgestone tires are actually a bit more expensive!!! However, I would like to say Michelin summer tires PSS are VERY DANGEROUS!!! (at least for me!!! I also believe PS4S should be similar!!!)

PSS tires are actually not consistent at all. When temperature are around 10C or below, PSS tires become very dangerous. You may loose grip even when you do 0.6G at cornering!!! (Believe it or not... Even in summer, in our city, the early morning temperature is still near 10C!!! So, how can I drive on PSS tires safely???)

In addition, for the front if PSS tire treads are about 60% left, PSS become severely understeering and dangerous!!! They could lost grip even at 0.6G!!! As a result, I have to replace them soon. (So, for the front, Michelin are more expensive than Bridgestone!!!)

Even in winter, near 0C, I never found the above problems on Bridgestone and Yokohama summer tires...
So, you may ask why the reviews for PSS tires from users are so good??? Are those users are dumb???

Of course, NOT!!!

I really don't know why those PSS tire reviews are so good??? But, I guess, PSS tires should provide a little more maximum grip than Bridgestone at an OPTIMAL condition. However, I don't need that a little more maximum grip. I'm an average driver and I definitely don't have the ability to take advantage that little more maximum grip on PSS tires.

In addition, I don't track my cars and don't do stupid things on public roads!!! So, maximum grips are me is not so important. All I need is good and CONSISTENT performance!!!

If I really need that maximum grip on track, I would choose RE-71RS...
Like I said, everything has Pros and Cons...

I think many of reviews are TOO BIASED!!! Be careful... Good luck!!!
I got some good news...

In 2019 NSX got some improvements and also price cuts!!!

https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2020-acura-nsx-test-drive/

I should focus on 2019 or later NSX. In addition, there is a guy who owns R8 V10, 911 GT3 and NSX. That guy says NSX is the best of three!!!

However, it seems NSX is very difficult to be repaired if it has a problem!!!
