Clutch is extremely light (no effort to depress, no resistance and consequently no feedback on engagement). The flywheel is light and the motor doesn't have much torque so it's one of the more difficult cars I've driven, after you get rolling it's a breeze with some practice and figuring out where the revs should be, tightest most connected immediate gearbox I've ever used.
Cars compared to: '08 Miata, '13 Abarth, '97 Camry, '91 Nissan Pickup, '85 Civic
Very similar to the Miata, except the Miata had a more forgiving gearbox that was just as satisfying and a heavier flywheel which made the gear changes feel smoother.
Abarth has by far the easiest manual I've ever driven, within a mile I no longer worried about where the revs were or where my foot was in relation to where it grabs, just shift shift shift all day long. 400+ on my FRS and still struggling for AT like smoothness.
