Curious to know how many kms driver's are getting out of their clutches? I  have a 2011 crd and am yet to replace the clutch after 210000km. Yes. I do a few kms per year.

That's a pretty good effort.  No point me giving an opinion, we don't keep our cars long enough to wear out a clutch. ..

And I HOPE I won't keep my car long enough for the clutch to wear out. Approaching 100,000 ATM.

It was mentioned at the last service.
Just approaching 200,000 kms (Nov 2012 GD).

I think the old FD CRDi manual's clutch, with a driver that's not a clutch rider!! Could last longer than the newer GD same motor & manual, as GD has taller gearing, i like low gearing as makes life easier on motor & clutcb. Taller gearing normally just help pass emmision, lowering engine rev does not always help economy on it's own.
I always thought the last generation of the FD CRDi manual the best, as still had same low gearing the first FD had, but had improved engine tune ( don't know what factory did but dealer said has same motor & gear box as GD ) the six speed manual FD, but they are not perfect just better than the first 5 speed only because 5 speed has a big gap between 4 & 5, the 6 speed closes that big gap up. Also 5 speed would have a funny little (hard to explain) jerk at a low rev in 3rd gear only (bloody strange!!) The 6 speed with i think different injecgion pressure never had that funny jerk in 3rd.
But like i said lower diff ratio would help the  lutch last longdr with a good driver operating the car.
Country car the clut h would last longdr than a city car, same as brakes.
