Alternate theory: driving an automatic miata is blasphemy

Ugh. Why did they do that? Their new Skyactiv AT is awesome. It was one of the first ATs I remember for mainstream vehicles that did rev-matching on downshifts.

Spent all their monies on FWD tranny that fits everything, had none left to R&D a RWD for one car.

off topic but looking at it now, 148 lbs-ft and 155 hp from NA 2.0 is pretty great. I mean, its not big hp, but it probably means it has a nice torque curve with actual power in the low and mid.

They did that because people who buy automatic ones are bad people...

My theory is that it’s because people who would order an MX-5 with automatic are bad people... but not so bad that Mazda won’t take their money.

I almost thought about an auto ND until I found this out, the skyactiv is that good.

The first SKYACTIV 6 speeds were clunky at low speeds and slow to respond, but the laters ones like in our CX-5 is good. Real good.
