update: So I have put about 300 miles on the car since I picked it up on Friday. Clutch feel is still the same, but it is still brand new... Once it gets broken in, I will have some more info

This somehow concerns me a lot. I have a M/T on order which I should get next week at latest. Is the manual transmission really that bad?

Is there a possibility to shorten the travel of the clutch?

Depends what kinds of cars he's used to. Some cars are shorter clutch than others, some have longer shift throws than others. Changing the linkage is possible if it is cable, but that is risky on a warranty vehicle. If it is hydraulic....good question.

Just got a 6-speed MT with Navigation Friday. It's sooooo fun.

They told me it was rare... anyone else have both?

Any more impressions? I'm still waiting for my M/T to come. Seems to be delayed

The US guys probably sell too many so that Switzerland is not getting any until the US market is saturated

Time to sell the A4

Need to get the A4 cleaned up and ready to sell. Might end up selling the MCS too.

You have an MCS too?! Nice! I had an A4, then the MCS, now I want to sell the MCS for the 250.

Put an add in autotrader.com today for A4. Wife wants to keep the MCS but if I sell both then I don't need to come up with much cash for new IS250 MT6. Probably will keep the MCS for a few months until I can get a good price on the IS.
