If you drive it right, start stop traffic isn't too bad on the clutch. The thing that really wears the clutch (apart from riding it wrong in start stop traffic) is not rev matching downshifts.

The clutch on my 2.5 was heavy and biting high when I bought it on 74k miles. It's now on 106k miles with the same clutch. And I drive it like I stole it. I just don't go in for heroics off the line and I rev match every single downshift.
