wow!!!! just got home from work cant believe all the great input... i did not sleep all night...at 2:30 am i decided i am not going to get
the Z because its like a coffin and you cant see properly out of it where the miata is open,spacious and even has a Trunk. but now i am thinking i can learn everything a miata can be in 30 days...where a Z i will probably still be learning up to the end of the lease. why get auto if it has sync downshifts with the sports package

The auto shifts MUCH faster and you still have the control like a manual to downshift and upshift when you want.

And if you're NOT going forced induction, IMO, it's THE transmission to get

The Miata is a sports car. Good pick.

Yea 1st gear is tough, takes lots of practice, and if you're shifing on low rpms' you need to let rpms go down before you shift, so you depress the clutch and wait a second then shift, on high rpms it doesn't matter.
