[Miniata]

The trans/shifter is as good as any I've owned (nearly 20 over the years), and among the best I've ever driven, with the S2000 probably the best I've driven.

Hard to say how long it took me to develop muscle memory for shifting a manual trans, as that is all we had growing up, and I could proficiently drive a manual trans car before I got my license (starting at age 13 or so). In fact, I kept messing up when driving the car I was in for my driving instruction since it was an auto, and I kept jabbing the brake pedal with my left foot.
