The car was way different from mine; felt heavier, more solid --all things that I know to be true, but could totally feel it in everything the car did.

One question: The clutch engaged really high. I mean REALLY high (4/5 the way up?). It was so different I could hardly drive it at first.

My (new) B5 clutch engages about 1/4 to 1/3 the way up from the floor, and the old clutch engaged high when it was on its way out...

I know they're different cars and all, but is this clutch engagement normal, or has that car's clutch had it?

Engages high, disengages high too...

You get used to the travel and your leg adapts. I don't even think about it, well, actually now I do given I drive the jeep and I'm used to that engagement and have to adapt for the first couple stop and go's when i hop back into the S.

So as your only car, you'll get it very quickly. If you have a couple, it'll take longer to adapt.

But yes, the pedal has a lot of room to travel with this clutch

Referring to motion since 30% of my entire clutch pedal travel does 100% of the engagement. Wouldn't want to say that you are supposed to drop clutch, that's ignorant esp if you think that what I'm saying here. If someone actually took my "know nothing 2 year knowledge of this car" then i surely do feel bad that you did this to you car - lmao!!!! <banging head against desk>
My apr software (not as good as giac) is temperamental, I hit too little gas, l stumble. too much clutch then overrev then stumble - darn germans. : )

I felt that the pedals (all of them) felt very 'lightweight', but engagement wasn't that much higher than my clutch. That said, there were two times where coming out of 3rd, my timing was off and I revved the engine a bit prematurely. However, Im sure that with a few more miles of driving and I would have gotten used to it. When I got back in my B5, all of my pedals (and the steering wheel) felt very heavy.

about the pedals in the B6 feeling very "light".

The clutch was actually "soft" too, and the steering a bit lighter... honestly, I felt a bit more disconnected from the road than I normally feel.

Still... I could get used to it, too.

The seats alone could almost sell me on the car.

This isn't quite as high as my B5 was. But it is tricky to get used to the engagement due to the DBW

heavy all the time...which gets annoying.

Interesting. Say; having moved from B5 to B6, what are your impressions?

DB/S4

Hm, thanks for the feedback everybody.
