Does the Mazda MX-5 Miata have an option for manual transmission?
I love how the Mazda MX-5 Miata looks, but think little sports cars like that should be manual. Does it come with manual transmission, or is it only automatic?

There’s just something about driving a sports car with manual transmission—and you’re not the only one who thinks driving an automatic Miata is a faux pas! Fortunately, exploring the 2022
Mazda MX-5 Miata’s
high-revving personality is encouraged by the direct, easy-to-shift manual transmission. In fact, Mazda has eliminated the six-speed automatic transmission from most of the MX-5 Miata’s trims for 2022, making it available only on the top-level
Grand Touring
trim where it is a $500 option on the convertible and a $550 option on the RF. If you’re shopping used rather than brand new, you’re still in luck. The Miata was launched in North American for the 1990 model year, and manual transmission has always been standard. (Although, older model years did offer automatic transmission as an upgrade on a variety of trim levels.)
Hopefully this means you’ll be able to find the sports car of your dreams without any issues! But before you take your new sports car for a spin, make sure it’s protected with a reliable

policy. We know—shopping for car insurance isn’t very fun. Collecting quotes is a daunting experience, and salespeople can be both pushy and annoying.
