You know, I'm sorry, but if pushing the clutch "exhausts" you, maybe you should join a gym.

I hate to sound like a weaney but more than once, after a long day on my feet, I've had to slug my way through SF traffic (it gets really bad) and my poor li'l left foot starts *****in'. That's on my BMW 325i, maybe the clutch is more stiff than others, don't know.
I much prefer a manual in most situations but myabe I'm just getting old and lazy, I'm liking automatics more and more.
