Yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there.
There are of course bad short shifters, but I like my JDM STI short shifter. Stiffer bushings, more mechanical feedback when shifting gears, less spongy feel. Too damn expensive for what it does, gotta admit. I have it coupled with MTEC shifter springs. I sat in my friend's bone stock BRZ the other day and was reminded how much I don't miss the stock feel. |

My NB Miata, which still has the best feeling shifter of any car I've ever been in would disagree with you. Subaru and Toyota can only hope to recreate that mechanical machine gun shifter feel in a budget sports car.

My 2017 BRZ is 8/10ths+ as good, not quite as precise but for reasons I still can’t quite articulate (even after almost 5 years of ownership) just as (if not more) satisfying a manual driving experience. |

I have driven 2 of the first generation BRZs and didn't have any complaints about shifting either though. |

I love the styling of the 2022 configurator and the lift back is the closest we'll get to a hatch or wagon. But, it gets pricey pretty fast and my wife will not be pleased if I spend more than $60k on the next car. For that kind of money, I think I lean towards the faster RS3 with the glorious 5-cyl. But, I'll also be looking at the Golf R and the new G70 3.3AWD, which looks to be a helluva value.
Horsepower is so cheap these days! |

My stock Miata shifter feels perfect. Don't see where shortening the throw, increasing the effort and changing the feel would make it better. |

Stock Miata shifter is great, but the S2000 begs to differ on “the best ever made” or “perfect” accolades.

What's with bots coming on and having random conversations? Is that the new thing? Are they trying to look legit that way and then feeding the fake links after or is it just a way to troll??
