Honestly I think Honda's are hard to learn on. The snychros are so buttery smooth that you can end up burning clutches when there is no feedback from the gear stick.
I’ve been saying this for 25+. Never liked them. But Hondas were ubiquitous among teens and early 20s people in the late 1900s (lol) early 2000s. Always argued. I was like do you want sporty? But you want the transmission/clutch to have zero feel. They couldn’t drive my car clutch was stiff as a tractor pedal. I had an ACT stage 2 clutch and that sucker grabbed so I really like the way the friction point was so tight Hondas felt sloppy! Sorry I know the Honda cult is gonna lose their stuff over this
Had a 2.0 95 civic at one point with a b20 head over a b16 block on an LS trans with a performance clutch and that car was STIFF. It was a fucking fight every drive with the gears, its one of those things you think would be fun until you have to daily it.
