Man, clutch replacement is scary high! I've yet to have to replace one, so I'll be sure to continue my normal driving style.
Glad I grew up before I bought a turbo stick shift.
Used cars, bought by me or family:
'93 Mazda MX6 345k on original clutch
'93 Nissan NX1600 320k+ original
'05 Acura TL 235k bought new, still driving
'00 Civic HX 200k+ still driving daily
'04 Elantra 186k+ still driving daily
'05 Vue 146k still fine (going to sell)
I will be PO'd at me or VW if my new clutch doesn't last at least 150k. Its obvious we know how to drive them, and with a good majority of highway miles, they seem to last as long as the vehicles.
