Interesting, didn't know that about the gearing. I'm looking for a manual, but lower cruising rpms is definitely a positive for the automatic, especially if you'll be doing a lot of highway miles.
Personally, I'm looking for a used, grey, MT, touring, sport package, soft-top Miata. Hard to find around these parts, must be a rare combo.
