it is easy to use! the clutch in this car is very light and requires very little effort to actuate! i think it's great and is just right!

I have heard through reviews that the engagement point is vague feeling. I just wish clutches didn't have an engagement point at all. Another thing that you forgot to mention is that clutches go bad. I'm pretty sure there are folks who replace at least 5 clutches in 200,000 miles and quality clutches and installation is not cheap. There's a thread with a guy who supposedly destroyed his in 700 miles. That is way too much money to be spending so fast.
