the clutch WILL eventually get stiff right?
is this due to time and wear

as far as I know we have a very family car clutch that is weak and only gets less stiff as time goes on.

This was my first manual car so it being a light clutch didnt really seem to stand out to me. After driving several other manual cars I am glad that my clutch is so light. It makes stop and go traffic less painful on the legs.

The clutch is pretty buttery compared to some other vehicles, but I like it. It shouldn't get stiffer but it will get "higher" and develop more freeplay as it wears. This is because the surface of the clutch plates wear out and there is less meat on the plates so you have to let the clutch out more to get it to grab.
