TBh most cheap 205's now are old nails with seized torsion bars, knackered drop links, all the bushes in need of replacements, hardly any ring seal left and with gearboxes as sloppy as a bowl of porridge.

So i can understand the logic in going from something newer, plus its got16 valves from the outset which a 205 hasnt unless you start messing around fitting an Mi16 lump and most of those are old and knackered now anyway.

I dont think the clio is too bad a buy really
