I learned how to truly drive a M/T on an '05 tC for the last 5 years. When I first started driving my new FRS M/T, I had some difficulties with trying to figure out the catch range as it was a little underwhelming when it came to feedback from the clutch. Just like the majority of replies states, the clutch is much lighter than the tC I practiced in; couple this with a light weight fly wheel with the revs dropping pretty fast made me nervous in my first first drives in my FRS.

I just broke 2k miles last week and will say that I am completely comfortable shifting in this car now. I have not even driven this car every day in the 5 weeks of ownership that I've had it. My fiance drives our FRS when I am out of town for work, which is every other week and I'm usually traveling for 4-5 days at a time.
