Not exactly apples to apples to compare MTs in Hondas or Mazdas to G8X with more than double the torque. Finding the engagement point i.e. 'smoother' shifting in a torquier car is going to take some time getting used to. I do agree the shifter action and the 'direct' feel in Hondas is superior to say the least (my first car was a 2001 Honda Prelude 5MT) but I would also say in comparison to something like 7MT in a C7 Corvette Stingray (my last car) with heavier clutch, vague pick up point and the most rubbery shifter I ever used that makes you miss shifts time and again, the 6MT in G8X is a pure joy.
