I have done some extensive research into the clio 182 and owners give it a good review for reliability etc. (Mostly at least!). I love the ST but for £200 extra on insurance per year I can have the clio 182. With my budget I can comfortably afford a 55 reg clio from a Renault dealer with the "Cup" pack thats done about 10,000 miles. (It's £9299). I can also afford to pay the insurance up front. Obviously the clio is faster but I would greatly appreciate what you guys thought to this issue. Cheers.
