You'll be sad all right!mazda dropped the ball with their auto transmission, but it can be overcome.

Firelance, There is much more to driving fun than an auto.
If you want to just "mash and steer." Then go for it. I personally think they should have never offered an auto in an RX-7, or a Supra TT, or whatever.
I could care less if they are faster in a straight line, if that is even the case. A good driver in a stick usually has more gears, and should have a faster car, the auto just makes it more consistent launches.
This is sports cars we are talking about, not SUV's, which is where automatics belong.
