I think all of the fast ND Miatas that I autocross against are on their 2nd or 3rd transmissions. I'm not sure about linking to other message boards, but you will see results if you google it.
I would still consider a ND Miata, but I would opt for the 2017 model and hope the transmission issues are ironed out. They are still outstanding cars.
I think anyone who has driven a Miata loves them, but I'm in the camp where I need something slightly more usable (and I like having a roof).

I probably won't auto cross the car, so I'm wondering if all those tranny failures are due to them being driven hard on the course.
