going from a manual transmission to auto transmission as you get older? The last time I did this in terms of a performance car was I looked at a used BMW 2002. There were 2 on the lot. One a manual and one an auto. We are talking about 25 years ago. Anyway I got talked into buying the one with the auto trans. It turned out to be a POS as it would stall at red lights. I did not have a PPI before buying. Decent car when it ran but sold it about a year later as I was not prepared to sink $$$ into it.
To make a long story short I want to look at a 2006 Miata with an auto trans. and about 52k miles on it. Does anybody on this board own an auto trans. Miata and if so how do you like it? Or have any of you techs got an opinion on a Miata with auto trans.? I have never considered this before but it makes more sense as the traffic gets heavier. Of course I would get a PPI before committing.
As always your opinions are always appreciated.
