Yes, I drove one about a year ago. I loved the NSX, but nothing at all like the LFA. Best way to describe it for me is that the LFA drives like a race car that was made to be road legal in the Lexus pursuit of perfection type of way. The NSX is much more in line with a daily driving, cushy passenger friendly mainstream car. Much closer to my SL 63 than the LFA. I plan on replacing my SL 63 with one as soon as they offer a targa version.

Yeah, LFA is all about visceral feel, millimeter-level response and sensory overload while NSX is more about using hybrid technology, AWD, turbo all together to create a seamlessly to go quick. Looks like they are night/day.

I have owned a 2017 for 1 3/4 years

great car, very smooth, fast and easy to drive, the torque vectoring AWD makes carving turns a blast, good for 12 months a year in Chicago with winter tires

the LFA has that angry factor about it, much nicer interior, as was mentioned more visceral
