If you're driving a manual transmission every day, you'll get very comfortable with it very quickly. The bigger indicator to clutch life is, how often do you plan on dropping the clutch at 3000 RPM trying to do burnouts or drag race? Limit that, and there's no reason your clutch shouldn't last as long as you own the car - 80k-100k miles or more. And given that this is a RWD car, I'm no expert but it should last longer than say, an AWD car. My WRX clutch lasted about 80k miles - no drag racing, but spirited driving. Also, this isn't exactly a high horsepower car, which brings up the other variable...depends on how beefy the clutch is.

In the end, totally depends on the driving style.
