LOVED the manual gearbox in:
Every MX-5 I ever test drove.
My 1970 Fiat 124 Sport Spider.
My 1971 Toyota Celica ST coupe.
My 1974 Toyota Celica GT coupe.
My 1977 Toyota Celica ST coupe.
My 1977 Toyota Celica GT liftback.
My 1992 Toyota MR2.
HATED the manual gearbox in:
A buddy's 2012 Subaru WRX.
The 2013 Scion FR-S.
I test-drove a number of other cars as well before I bought my FR-S. Most were just "meh". In the end I just loved the FR-S, but I thought it had one of the worst clutches and the clunkiest gearchanges. I opted for the six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. I figured it would be easier for me to learn auto than for my wifey to learn manual. I also plan to keep this car as long as I can as it's my first new car. I'll be fifty in twenty years. I had my first kidney transplant just a little more than three years ago. I want to be capable of driving my little car, no matter what physical condition I happen to be in. :-)
