Its not that the Z shifter is bad at all, but there's a standard out there of people who got used to BMW style shfters and the companies that copied them. Some companies even wound up surpassing BMW in shifter feel. Honda and Mazda are two that get the most glory. Maybe some of it its placebo that they think there shifters are so great due to the relative low cost of the car for such a luxurious feel???
But even still,, by comparison most will feel the Z feels rather average. Me personally, from what I can feel about the Z in its overall performance. It has ultra-modern handling and performance, with a very retro feel and sound coming from both the engine and transmission. I'm not saying that the transmission is purposely not as good to give a retro feel. But coincidently that's what happened. And to my tastes, the Z feels great, even though I know there is a higher standard. I chose the auto for better accel times.
so fk it. Lol.
But that's part of what forums are for. For people to praise and complain. Especially after they moved on to something else or nothing else.
