Pasted here so it's easier to find
"And although the manual transmission has a nice feel to it, the clutch operation could be improved. It engages abruptly, and the throttle is sensitive, so driving smoothly requires concentration."
And yes...so very true. I got frustrated the other day with the damn engagement. Most of the time, I'm extremely smooth, but sometimes I just have bad days where every 1st gear engagement is rough as hell. I get annoyed and depressed at the same time when this happens. During these rare occasions, I understand the frustration AvramD felt...but I can't imagine driving any other daily driver as stealthy, fast, comfortable, and perfect as the s4.
