Default Clutch: How long do they last?

Yet another consideration in deciding whether to buy when my lease expires soon.

How long do clutches typically last in a car that has been driven half city and half highway? I realize it depends on how you drive, but I am just looking for an approximate range.

Thanks.

Clutches are owner-paid even if car is under warranty..clutch wear parts are not covered.

Friendly dealers will do it, and often do as goodwill. But it's not "officially" covered.
