Thinking of buying but clutch slave cylinder

Thanks for all the replies. And I agree I shouldn't let something stop me from buying one just because of this. I did read some about a RJM clutch pedal

Thanks for all the replies. And I agree I shouldn't let something stop me from buying one just because of this. I did read some about a RJM clutch pedal that supposedly reduces the travel and wear on the CSC seals or something along those lines.
I just got done test driving a new 2016 this morning and it was pretty cool. Even though I drive a stick jeep every day, I stalled it once trying to take off from a stop sign, and was pretty jerky at every take off. It will definitely take some learning on how to drive with the 370 clutch the way it is. I was kind of hoping I could get a feel for 0-60mph takeoff, but quickly realized it was a little embarrassing letting the salesman see my lack of clutch skills.

Thanks again.

At least in my opinion, a very finicky clutch on the car. Different from any other manual I've tried driving (harder to drive, again, in my opinion). You'll get used to it though.
