Yep. I have a 91 miata (130,000+ miles), and traded a 04 S2000 for the Elise. With the Mazda or the Honda, if you missed a shift, it was/is your fault. With the Elise, its more of a partnership. Its in no way a show stopper, just an something I would improve if I were Lotus.

As for the 914; I was reading an article and they were comparing a 914 with a boxter. Their quote on the 914's shifter was: Your more likely to find 3rd gear stirring your Cheerios then stirring the shifter in this car. From what I remember of my 914, they may be right.
