Why do these rust badly compared to the Clio of the same era?

Believe me when I say clios will go the same way!

Turn-of-century JDM Metals.
MX5s of the period get the same.

They may do. However non RS certainly won’t. Maybe round the fuel cap but certainly not on the sills etc. In below my daily 2001 1.2 looks better than my 2009 FN2!

The ctr isn’t Japanese ?
They were all built in Swindon I believe and then shipped out
All were under sealed from new

Indeed they were, but the process was still all Jap. Thin under sealing, thin layers of paints, choice of metals etc hence why everything Jap of that era rusted like sh*t!

Waze decided the M6 was no good (I was near Knutsford for the day working) so it diverted me down the A50, a road that is horrifically poorly surfaced. Felt like the suspension was just going to vibrate itself to pieces

Lol yeah the concrete sections are awful. I drove the kitcar down there a few times....

Least you got to drive past a decent football ground ??

Ahh. I do get this. Suspension is horribly stiff in them. Were you in the car yourself or with others? I find my FN2 much worse with even one passenger in.

Less than 100 miles later, and only a tenner of fuel added to what was already in it....it's going today.
I'd sorted the knocking exhaust and given it a good clean bit apart from that the 10 quid fuel is the only money I've spent on it as I just couldn't be arsed with it.
They were good cars once. Not for me any more

Lol that didn't last long. What's next?
