Default clutch engagement?

just got a 2002 A4 1.8T quattro...it's my first audi/vw and I've noticed that the clutch engagement is kinda high, I'm comparing it to the honda's I've owned all my life. I've had friends who've said it's a self adjusting clutch and not to worry because the engagement is like that...just want to see if this is true...????

mileage and use is why your clutches are engaging high

Completely normal. Most audi/vw have a high engagement. I noticed the same thing, I had a mitsubishi

Default i picked up my car brand new (75 kms on the clock) and its been a tad high since day 1

ive also test driven other a4s (when i was choosing which car to purchase) and clutch engagement was the same.
