Hi Clay
My initial sensation of the Aero was similar. I had owned an '01 Audi TT quattro six-speed and before that a BMW five-speed. You will get used to the Aero and it drives like silk. Thje clutch take up is fine - but the accelerator travel is very long - so a bit of practice is necessary for smooth take up. You also learn to modulate the turbo-spool-up as well. The torque is much stronger than the 170hp 1.8t or the 225hp 1.8T that I had in the TT. The car really is a gas to drive (and drive smoothly) once you have a little time behaind the wheel.
Happy Motoring
Eric
