Default manual transmission question

Hey guys, im in the process of looking for a new car and the tc seems to fit the bill. I have been doing a lot of research about the car and i've seen many reviews saying that the tc's clutch is very "sticky" and the rpm is too high at higher speeds. I have also read reviews that say theres no problem and u just have to get used to the car. I just wanted to know if anyone out there has any information or opinions that could help me, thanks

It's got a lot of quirks like any other car. If all you're concerned about is RPMs at high speeds then this may not fit the bill. I haven't had any issues with it. You get used to the hum of the engine at highway speeds. The clutch is a little touchy if you ask me, but you get used to it. As a total package it'll be hard to find a comparable car at the price of a tC.
