Do you feel this is a manufacturers fault, or possibly a teenager who is hard on cars?
Manufacturers fault:
Buy the competition style clutch for this car. There's no slipping of the clutch then!
Teenager may be to blame:
Have teenager pay for the clutch replacement this time, and learn to respect the car.
Just the 2cents of a parent.
Tell them that the clutch pedal is not a foot rest. Keep your foot off of the pedal until and only until shifting gears. Even just letting your foot rest against the pedal ever so lightly will put pressure on the clutch, causing premature wear and failure. That's an expensive repair, I hope the kid has a job. If the kid has to pay for it I'll bet it won't happen again. P.S. it only takes a few "rev it up and dump the clutch" to tear one apart also. Good luck.
Common problem with people that do not let out the clutch at lights and put it in neutral. they sit at the light with the clutch pushed in. it wears out the clutch springs and burns the clutch.
