According to @lemetier, the 6MT is apparently a different unit now, a Magna 6MTI550 - shared with the Ford Bronco, for example. Gear ratios are identical to F80. It was also shared by him that there are now some more electronic nannies at play here, almost like a clutch-by-wire type of deal. Prevents money shifts, blips the throttle just a bit during hard braking to prevent locking up rear wheels even in rev match off mode. Curious.
Further, I just found out that the G80's 80-120 kph times in 4th and 5th gear are worse than of the F80 6MT. I would say that is due to the fact that the S58 has peak torque ca. 800 rpm higher. I don't know. All this and the weight gain...

I'm looking forward to that confirmation... it would seem quite odd to move to a tranny shared with the Ford Bronco |

This guy is complaining about gear ratios and ignoring the fact that it is a gift from god that they are even offering a manual.
However, driving in 3rd is really impractical. 4th gear was really my "go to" gear. It was good to cruise, it was good to accelerate, it didn't drone at 55 mph too badly. I guarantee you it's not as bad as the gentleman above is making it out to be. This is going to be an amazing car to drive in 6MT and I can't wait!

Again, if you want to ultimate driving experience, the Miata has it all. Great gearing, great manual experience, affordable as a toy and hell of a lot of fun. Keep in mind, a lot of the fun results from absolutely getting on it, with the ability to rev out every single gear and still staying within the speed limits.

You do not pair a NA engine with a 2nd gear that does 83mph in a performance car, it's just ridiculous. |

The M2C was designed as a passenger car first, thus its use case was completely different to start. However, it is also this formula that makes the M2C so appealing. It combines both practicality and performance, which is where the M brand truly shines. People frequently debate BMW vs. Porsche, but they have completely different ethos to start with. Just depends what you want, no wrong answer whatsoever.

how'd this turn into a bmw / porsche debate? i've driven both and to be fair the gearing just feels that much more firm and in tune than it does for bmw.
bmw just feels a bit loose but that's just my opinion. i enjoyed both |
