[Hoochie]

Freezing cold and bloody windy here on the NW coast, woke up to the guttering down on the workshop, and part of a shed was nicely perched against a car across the road, parts of cumbria and Scotland have had snow on the high ground and we have 70mph winds on the way.........Pffttttt

[Mike]

you do know the long list of common problems with them dont you ?

Every car has common problems, some more then others.

i agree, but having known a couple of friends that have had them i would ot recommend them. Cliosport also has a list of common problems for the 172/182, and going by that and seeing/hearing of the troubles friends have had they seem to need a awful lot of money spending on them once they reach 65/70k

Typical french car that shakes itself to death on British roads

People I know that have owned them havent any any major issues :S other then general wear & tear.

The missus headgasket went on her Clio but that was 105k so kinda expected, an its not as if it ever got driven lightly from the day she bought it lol

Sounds like a Corsa C, as in list of known faults & recalls on internet owners clubs lol most cars these days are pap & dont fair well after 5 years or so old.

[Jack]

What you all talkin bout?! I've got my sunglasses on here. The odd wisp of cloud, but otherwise its a nice sunny day :cool:

Its a pretty short list....

1) Its French.

List over with :p
Find me another car thats not riddled with issues and problems that is reasonably fun. Oh you cant, nevermind.

[Edd]

It's French

Exactally. We all know the common problems with French cars, electrics and weak suspension components etc

Very very good drive tho, like a xe nova but far more comfortable

Wasn't saying you shouldn't get one, just asking if you were aware of the problems you might/will accur

[Stuart]

Very aware, and very ready for it. Much like im prepped for the Passat to eat its engine as "someone knows someone who thought they knew someone who had a problem with one once" lol

[mowgli]

didnt you crash in the rain the other day?? where is these pictures:)

the road was slightly damp.. the crash was caused by a lemming in a corsa who did a very sudden u turn, so i had no choice but to hit the prat

This made me chuckle......i have a 206 gti that does just that!!!:d

[Hobbit]

Couple of light showers earlier but can see blue skies now.

[Southie]

My other half had one, knackered rear bushes on those are a biatch, get rid fast.

Rain meh better than snow.

[Alex J]

Very aware, and very ready for it. Much like im prepped for the Passat to eat its engine as "someone knows someone who thought they knew someone who had a problem with one once" lolso true, im still bit into renault 5 gt turbos, and everyone goes "how many headgaskets you done" well one, and that was when i rebuilt the engine with new pistons etc, if its built and set up propley it wont blow up, simple! same goes for most things, the clio is a great car, the ones ive been out on track days handles really well and are a good all rounder, alot of my pals have them , and are a great car imo!!

[Alex J]
