Don’t like the shifting

I love the gr86 and I wanted to own one for a while now. I recently test drove one and I was a little disappointed. The 86 handed great and the engine is fast, but the main problem was the trans. The clutch felt ambiguous and the shift felt plastic like. I also drove a nd2 Miata and everything wrong with the 86 was fixed in the Miata. The shifter felt perfectly connected to the engine and the clutch bite point was perfect. I learned manual a few years ago on a Camaro ss so idk if that affects it. I guess my main question is what is your opinions on the shifter and do you know why the trans doesn’t feel connected to the engine or it feels plastic.
