I've had 4 Clio Sports and they've all been 100% reliable, my concern with French cars in general is how cheap/flimsy they feel. Some call it 'character' lol.
As I mentioned in another thread, a friend of mine worked on the BMW/Mini parts counter, and he said it was enough to put him off owning one. LOADS of unsatisfied Mini owners out there with reliability problems...
I'd widen your options personally, the Mini and Corsa are both cars with massive flaws so it can't be difficult to find something else you'd be happy with too.
Boxing day at Curborough today and I saw 3 Clio Sports, all of which I think I recognise... One had a private reg, one looked standard-ish and the other had a fair few mods a rather loud induction roar...
I'd like another go in an ST before I pass comment, especially as speed is no longer a factor for me. I'd get a normal 182 over a Trophy though as I don't think they warrant the extra cash.
