Just a tip for longevity. Do not rest your foot on the clutch when you are driving around, use the dead pedal. Any pressure on the pedal could cause a slight bit of disengagement and you won't even know it, until the clutch wears out a little quicker than it should have.
I have a 2000 VW Golf since new and it has over 152K miles with the original clutch. I don't baby this car at all either.
I also use the brakes to stop the car without downshifting when coming to a complete stop. This will help save the clutch in the long run. Oh, I got 99K miles out of my front brakes (the pads are REALLY thick on this car).
