3 clutches in 2 years.. And clutch issues on a new car.
Does make me think driver error.
Not seen pages and pages of people saying the clutches are faulty. As you would expect if it were a real issue.

Still only a handful. People on that have done 40k without clutch problems .
Its not clear with some what the actual problem was. Clutch slipping due to a worn disc or a failure with the slave or master cylinder.
Clutch fault soon after fitting, Wonder if they have refitted the worn plate. Seen that done before.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

I'm not sure where you found the 40,000 miles the ones I read were
7000
26000
17500
3400
13000
and one on it's third clutch at 6k miles0 -
As for my driving, I do a lot of town driving, but I'm not aggressive with the clutch (I revised my clutch pedal usage, after the trouble with the Getz - I NEVER drive along with my foot hovering on the pedal, now)
The last two cars I have owned (both Fiestas) were good for 40,000 miles, and had no problems with clutch wear (Both were also new)
And the only reason I bought the car in the first place, was that they had said there had never been one car returned to their dealership, which had suffered an early clutch failure (which I have in writing) They also said, they would look after me 100% if this did happen (But after the fiasco with the service plan/car delivery, I doubt this, now......)0
