My Civic's clutch is so light that I hulk smash it through the wheel wells every time I am forced to take that pathetic excuse of a car out onto the roads. Then again, i've had to start it in 2nd gear when we have 8+ inches of snow just HOPING everything would explode so I could collect insurance and be happy in life.

Why do you hate your Civic so much? Might as well sell it!

yah really. the fit is pretty cool. it can carry my Z's wheels to the tire store with no fuss.

and the gearbox is very smooth.

but it does grind in 3rd on cooler days.. a honda thing.

muhahaha! NO!

btw, you can return a lease early if you hate the car, if the value is high you could get another car on a trade and pay nothing to close the lease.

Yeah Honda tends to have really easy effort shifting and clutch and they use an anti-dump valve to where you can pretty much just let the clutch up and it won't grab too fast. Makes anyone look like a stick shift pro.
