havent noticed this problem and i don't ride the clutch neither.. i find the clutch in the FRS relatively soft but responsive.. feathering the clutch and applying just a bit of gas in first should get you going.

Having owned 4 manual cars previously (a jetta, an evo8, a tsx, and a genesis coupe), I find the gear engagement in the FRS surprisingly smooth, only second to my tsx (its almost impossible to stall that car!)
