Very capable little cars, handle very well, nice to drive (much better than the 172 imo), brakes arent too bad. Gearboxes arent the strongest of things, timing belt is a little difficult to do due to lack of space but not impossible by any means, build quality is a little bit iffy (like most french cars of that era), clutches are weak and prone to ripping themselves to bits.

www.cliosport.net is a canny little forum by the way
