This is a pretty hard car to drive IMO


-Clutch pedal is really soft, makes it harder to know exactly where you are



-Clutch bite engagement is too high. The clutch starts engaging at the halfway mark to creep slowly, but the point where the clutch needs to be to actually take off is nearly at 9/10 of the way up. Any less and it will be too slow, any higher and you end up fully engaging the clutch.



-Throttle lag and DBW system makes it harder to do a "see saw" between the gas and clutch in comparison to a traditional throttle cable. The DBW delay has to be accounted for. And depending on humidity and air temp the throttle is very inconsistent, some days the weight of my foot resting will result in the engine shooting up to 3k RPM, some days it will be 1.5k RPM. Makes taking off very inconsistent until I get used to the throttle "mood" of the day.



Overall my only advice is to sit the same way and wear the same shoes and even socks if you want to get the perfect smoothless shifts...
