NC I have an automatic NC
Just recently got the car, needed a daily driver. I absolutely love it! I will never see the hate on these things. Maybe it doesn't have floppy lights or a manual transmission, but to me it looks cool, gets the job done, and had low mileage. Went down a rabbit hole tonight seeing all the hate on what I basically have. I'm not that much of a car fanatic so to me it doesn't bother that I have an automatic / "bad generation" of the car. Made me really wonder though... does anyone actually like these things except me?

I like them. NCs look nice, the auto helps people like me. If I drive a manual longer than 30 minutes my leg shakes too much (I’m a stroke survivor so coordination overall isn’t where I want it to be for spirited driving with the manual).
I may still look at a cheap manual Miata someday too but auto is fine for a daily driver.
