Is it really that hard on the clutch to start in second for normal, everyday driving? I've always understood that there's generally no reason to start in first if you don't want to. Doesn't this car have enough torque in second where that's not really an issue?

as long as you aren't lugging the engine and aren't reving high on your second gear starts there shouldn't be any additional wear or tear.
