No experience with these either. I call them auto-sticks.

I’m a big fan ofthe manual gearbox, but I hear those double clutch or manual devived automatics are getting pretty good. Isn’t the new gti supposed to have a pretty slick auto-stick for an affordable car…???

No idea what they have in the miata, but I do remember watching a youtube video of 2-rx-8’s, one with a manual and one with the paddle shifters. Well anyways the manual freaking WALKED the auto-stick by like 10 car lengths. If the miata’s auto-stick is anything like the rx-8, it robs a lot of power.
