50k here and no issue yet. But tomorrow may be a different story

I have now 35k on mine... The CSC went out at 31k miles on the clock but that's about 20k on the transmission (transmission was replaced just under 11k).

I see mine as a ticketing time bomb, not a if it'll go out but when. And this time I'll be more prepared and splurge for an upgraded metal CSC to fix it and put me at ease.

Thanks for all the replies. And I agree I shouldn't let something stop me from buying one just because of this. I did read some about a RJM clutch pedal that supposedly reduces the travel and wear on the CSC seals or something along those lines.
I just got done test driving a new 2016 this morning and it was pretty cool. Even though I drive a stick jeep every day, I stalled it once trying to take off from a stop sign, and was pretty jerky at every take off. It will definitely take some learning on how to drive with the 370 clutch the way it is. I was kind of hoping I could get a feel for 0-60mph takeoff, but quickly realized it was a little embarrassing letting the salesman see my lack of clutch skills.

Thanks again.

At least in my opinion, a very finicky clutch on the car. Different from any other manual I've tried driving (harder to drive, again, in my opinion). You'll get used to it though.
