New MR Owner (WRX, STi, GTI, now this)

Hello everyone, just picked up a used 06 MR (couldnt wait for the X). I have to say that it is a pretty awesome car. Having owned both a rex and an STi, it definitely handles better out of the box. A few quick questions -

1. Can I trade trunks with an RS that is silver? if so, anyone up for it?

2. Does the clutch take some time to get used to, or perhaps I have somehting wrong with mine? I noticed that I have to rev till about 2k before getting out of first (subies you can shift down low - maybe cause of the 2.5?). Same kind of deal with 2nd gear. I just have to feather the clutch more. Still getting used to it.

3. The headlights are off when the car is off - so no need to turn them off right? (dumb question)

Thanks guys. I plan on doing some searching and considering some new rims (dont like the BBS darks) and possibly going stg2 with the car.

John

Nothing wrong with your clutch.
If you forget the lights their on a timer and will go out by themselves.
O yah,read your owners manual,all kinds of good stuff in there.
