Default Stiff clutch pedal

Hey guys i was wondering if anyone else had a stiff clutch pedal...i have had and driven many manual transmission cars and i feel like this one is alot stiffer than others....Is there something wrong with my car, what could it be?? I drive in traffic everyday and it gets annoying sometimes, when stuck in traffic...if someone could help me out that would be great..Thanks

to be honest i dont' feel that at all, i think it's pretty soft, easy to deal with. on most sporty cars the clutch are stiffer than usual and also more precise

drive the m3 and you feel even better

yeah i drove the rsx-s before, the clutch is a lot softer and the engagement is much easier to "catch". basically on performance car, the clutch is very precise coz' of the power so the clutch spring is very very stiff (strong), and thus the stiff feeling on the clutch. it's normal. i guess just try to get used to the feel and you will be fine. now i don't feel anything even driving in traffic

and i am serious, try to drive the m3 and you will feel better
