Partly true. Know a few of em owners & asked. Regardless of age, some bought theirs to daily, their work car. City traffic isn't MT friendly anymore. And the modern ATs aren't as bad as the old days. They're quicker now w/ pretend-manual mode + paddles.
Many don't have access to tracks, nor have that constant purpose & time to go drive like it should be driven. The MX5 is best enjoyed in its meant habitat....out the twisty backroads & wide open, top down, fresh air thru hair....But, it could also be a good city appliance. Easy to drive, weave thru traffic & squeeze into tight park slots.
I do like the MT better w/ the ND, but also do get why the AT has outsold it by miles. It's 1 of those you wish you can have both.

April 23rd, 2020 02:32 PM #244I bought a NA 20yrs ago for the wifey who wanted it for herself. Actually i found it a great fun car to drive both on city streets and the open roads. It was simple, easy to maintain and reliable, like a Toyota. Yet it is not as boring with the steering and handling quite responsive and on par with cars 2x/3x its value. In this respect, it was far ahead of its JDM peers, even vs a Suby (had an STi too). Alas, we had to give it up a few yrs later, as our garage and lifestyle could not allow space for another ride. I still miss my little red NA after all these years!
The ND-AT is a practical compromise without being less un-involving as most stick shifters would say. Instead of the paddles, I just use the M+/- shifter and push up or down to get the feel and it works for me.
Enjoy your Miata, whatever model it is.
