Okay.... I think I've managed to confuse myself. I learn new things about the car every time I drive...

I've been driving under the assumption that the clutch engages at the middle or end of the release, and my start and gear changes have been less than ideal. Tonight, while aimlessly driving around town (seems to happen a lot since I got the car...) it hit me that the clutch engages early in the release (so it seems to me), but since it requires such low revs to start it didn't register. Once I realized that, things drastically improved (well, except the pedal is still way too high for me).

This car is making me feel like a shifting novice :P I've driven manuals for over 13 years.

What I'm confused about is that most people have been saying it has a mid to high clutch point...? At the moment I'm thinking it's low-mid.
