Yeah, some of it may be drivers, but IMO it is foolish to keep stating life in terms of miles. The car that is used mostly on the highway is not gonna put any wear on the clutch, the one driven in street traffic will. In fact many comparisons are weak.
You raise some very good points. Mileage is not a good frame of reference but sometimes that all we've got and all we read and hear.
When we hear of those with clutches that last only a few thousand "miles" and those that last 10's of 1000's of "miles", we might be wise to hold back opinion till we discover how those miles were logged.
I don't track my car. It's mostly city miles not unlike yours and I haven't been entirely "delicate" with my useage.
