I had a chance to sit in the new ND Miata last weekend. In terms of the transmission, the shifts felt extremely smooth which I liked, but others might prefer more feedback/notchiness going into each gate. I don't think there's a right or wrong, just personal preference. The shift throws felt a bit longer than in our cars.
The cabin was a pleasant place to sit, other than the LCD screen. I don't know who designed the location, but it seemed more like an afterthought and partially obstructs visibility. That was my only real complaint though. Other than that, the seats were decently supportive and the driving position was pretty good.
Overall the cabin felt higher quality than our cars, but I think the FR-S/BRZ seating position is better. Nothing about the Miata made me want to trade my FR-S in, but I won't really know until I get a chance to drive one hard (or better yet track one).
