Well I didn't get on it too hard, but obviously the engine is the same so it felt about the same, just boring and distant.

I guess for me it isn't all about having the fastest shift on the block, I enjoy the involvement and connection with the manual, even if the auto shifts a tiny bit quicker.

I would never buy a Miata or Z with an auto, and I would never buy a minivan or SUV with a manual. To each their own I suppose.
