i thought about buying a clio after reading that you recommended them chip,but when you start looking they are a wee bit more than £1500 for a 51 plate and usually have problems.my pal had 1 and broke the bellhousing in half,he said they are bad for that,im not 100% sure but maybe his is a 182.
i was at a trackday recently and a clio lost its front wheel coming out of the hairpin,think theres pics of it on here maybe.
i would say an integra type r after buying 1.
