Clutch life

Just out of curiosity, what's the expected clutch life, mileage-wise, on these cars?

Likeley 100,001 miles

That's great! 'cuz the warranty covers the clutch disc for 12mos/12,000 miles.

Probably too many variables to put a good number on this. Stop and go traffic will put a lot more wear on a clutch than cruising highway miles. Also very susceptible to wear due to improper operation.

RiBrav, is this tru? . . . . I would have figured clutch was part of drive-train as in 10/100,00????? http://www.kia.com/content/media/en/...2_warranty.pdf guess I was wrong . . .

The clutch would be considered a wear item. Same as brake pads, belts, hoses, and oil - not covered under powertrain warranty. Generally speaking, if you are able to properly operate a manual transmission (and aren't using your car as a taxi or delivery vehicle) the clutch should last the life of the vehicle.
