GTI clutch

I have to agree that the clutch is really light but you'll get use to it
Took me a day or 2 before I can get a sense of where the fiction point is

However, I do find the clutch is a bit high. It makes my left leg hurts after awhile because my feet and leg is in a "V" position

yes a good manual is nice, and the GTI has a sweet shifting manual. the clutch was a killer for me. id like it to have some feel to it, the gas pedal seemed to have more resistance (yes thats an exaggeration)

plus a lot of high dollar sports cars are going to a DSG type (dual clutch) tranny. look at the 458 itilia no more manual.

^ Yeah that's one fo the thing I noticed too. The gas pedal has more resistance than anything else.
