The Mazda Miata/MX5 of watches. Small, underpowered and good looking. Just as many smiles for your money as the hairy stuff!

But the MX5 is manual, not automatic! 😅

Yeah to be fair I think you’d have to spec the manual wouldn’t you 😅

I'm sorry?

They sell the car with either a manual or an automatic gearbox.

They’re actively developing an electric one.

What I mean is, if you’re buying one of these cars, part of the whole fun is the manual gearbox really! Won’t be the case for everyone, which is why it’s offered in an automatic. Manual would be my choice as I think it fits the ethos of the car better, but accessibility and disability are reasons why it’s good to have an auto option.

Who buys an internal combustion roadster with an automatic?

...nevermind, whatever floats their boats, I guess.

Yeah it’d be a bit odd, Lotus are similar that way!
