Agreed... but most of it IMO is how you drive.  I know people who have 
killed clutches in Hondas in 20,000 miles.  A friend of mine has an Accord 
that made it 195k on the original clutch -- and the tranny croaked.  After 
looking at the clutch, he could have easily done 250k on it.  HIs BMW 325i 
was at 189k when he totalled it -- also on the original clutch.
