Especially on trannys with direct linkage because everything that goes on in the tranny can be directly felt in your hand compared to that of cable linkage. But read just about any sporty car forum and you see thread after thread debating which fluid works best in to combat nochyness when cold. Again, our car isn't some special bread of MT.
I don't trust anyone trying to justify his arguments by mentioning that there are common parts with Corolla. This is misleading and it is not related with the overall feel of the car and the transmission. That's all. More details on the provided link. We are not talking here about irrelevant forums and other sporty cars.

I don't care if you like the word "notchy" or not. If OP has doubts he can test drive one and tell for himself. Experience and opinion is always relevant over here. Bye bye.
