I've had my 2008 LX coupe for a couple of months now and I still find myself searching for the spot where the clutch grabs. I've stalled it a few times.
It's almost like the car doesn't have enough power to start without giving it gas.
So, Now I rev to about 1.5K then let the clutch out. seems to be ok.
