My 1.2 which I had for 18 months went back for the toxic sensor cover to be removed and a wheel bearing to be replaced.
My 1.6 in the first month of ownership had 2 occasions of coilpack failure which resulted in the RAC being called out. I now carry two spare with me at all times just in case... Touch wood nothing else goes wrong.

07 UR 197
In 16 months of ownership mine has only let me down twice so I consider myself very lucky!!
On the way home after buying it, the back box came off on the M6 near Lancaster (I knew from reading on here before buying that back boxes were a weak point), and once about 6 months after buying it, the key messed up and I had to buy a new one from the stealers at over £100 :dapprove:

Clio 182 FF
My 172 was the biggest pile of s**te ever, always and i mean always breaking down. Had zero confidence in it.
Must have spent 3 grand on
new key fob
exhaust
batterys
suspension
handbrake cable about 4 times
Lots of other s**t
Major electric fault which meant it had to be stripped and checked wire by wire as the computer couldnt pick the fault up.
they had it for nearly 3 weeks (flogged 2 days after that for a 182:S )
Got to Love clios still, cant stay away from the fookers, on my 3rd.

had it nearly 18 months now, and i've had to get a new ecu and wiring loom (£800 fitted) and my abs sensor and target has just gone on my o/s front wheel. the target is part of the driveshaft though so i need a whole new driveshaft....£320 fitted! gonna get the parts for £150 and get a mate of my dad to do it though.
my 02 plate 172 was a bit ropey, even though it was fairly new at the time, the ECU played up a bit, and it rattled wayyy too much. It went into safe mode once for no reason as well (according to the mechanics).
My 04 plate 182 was fine, i had it for 2 years and no real major problems, other than the air bag cable geting chewed up in the steering wheel, but it never broke down.
My 197 touch wood has been fine.

Owned mine since March 2007 and in 11000 miles its needed:
Heater resistor
N/S Ball joint
N/S Driveshaft
Aircon Regassed
Other running costs have been:
Full service + belts
Two tyres (need some more now
)
Brake pads
So it all adds up.
