The clutch feel of the Z is not the best: if you read the threads there is a spring modification that helps for some. I did it on mine and it made the clutch a bit more progressive but still nothing as smooth as any of my other cars I have owned (200SX, Integra, WRX, SI hatch, Cayman) nor the other cars I have driven such as BMWs and such.

That said, I hop between the Z, WRX and Cayman weekly and it just takes some getting used to and its quite driveable. Don't rush the 1-2 is my suggestion.

The 7sp auto is a very good tranny for a slushbox style auto, nothing wrong with driving one of those at all. Me, I prefer my sports cars with a manual. I prefer all my cars with a manual unless I have a horrible traffic filled commute...then there is the commuter

The miata is a well balanced roadster: power is nothing without control. Something to be said for being 500+ lb lighter. If you can't go fast with 90 HP...900 HP won't help.
