I'm a stick man, but I was faster zipping around town with the auto. Ye,a I"ve owned an auto Roadster and a Stick Roadster.
Now, the stick IS kinda "stiff" or "sloppy", but gotta tell ya, I drove a Base Roadster with 120,000 miles on it last December and gotta say - the car ran great and the transmission was noticeably smoother.
These cars just need some MILES on them!

Got almost 60,000 on mine - since last weekend, about 121 miles of those are
DRAGON MILES.
