I would definitely agree that the drivetrain combines several factors that make it difficult to drive, i would say sloppy motor mounts, little torque at low rpms, sensitive throttle, and short clutch. But now that i'm used to the the short clutch and sensitive pedal i actually prefer it. Switching to other cars it seems like a huge pain not to be able to work the clutch simply with the ankle, and just tapping the gas to get started. my .02, but at this point i prefer it, the car feels quite a bit like an s2000, very direct.
