Are all Miatas manual?
I love the look of the Mazda Miata and I’ve always wanted a two-seater convertible. My only issue is that I’m pretty sure all Miatas are manual and I don’t want to learn how to drive stick. Do Miatas come in only manual transmissions?

If you’re looking for a head-turning, affordable two-seater convertible, the
Mazda Miata
—also known as the MX-5 Miata—is a stellar choice. And if you don’t want to learn how to drive a stick, you’ll be pleased to know that not all Miatas are manuals.First produced in 1989, the Mazda Miata has the longest tenure among any vehicle in the Mazda lineup. Although previous generations of the Miata came with a standard stick shift, an automatic has always been available. However, it wasn’t until the latest generation (fourth generation) that the automatic transmission came standard and the manual was optional.
So if you’re not interested in learning stick, you can definitely find a model to suit your needs.
Although the Miata is small in stature, it has enough giddyup that it’s surprisingly expensive to insure if you don’t shop around. That’s why you should choose
