The clutch is way lighter than I'm used to. At times I feel like a real beginner, jerking the car as I shift. I've got lots to compare it to and it's a lot lighter than any of the others. We just sold our Passat, V6 5 spd and I guess I would say that I like the feel of that clutch better. I also have a '96 Firehawk M6 and a '93 Z28 M6 so they are quite a bit different. We did have an '03 Subaru WRX and it was probably the closest to the Accord.
Right now I'd say that any of the others have a better "feel" but I'm also guessing that the Accord will be a lot better in traffic etc. with the lighter clutch. I'm sure that I'll get used to it soon. For now I just have to pay a bit more attention as I get used to it so I don't make passengers ill

The good thing is that my car should be here in 1 month (coming from PA), so pics will be up sooner than the earlier stated 8-12 weeks.
