2 of my mates have had clio's. 1 was mint, in white, 4 pots, oz's, no issues to a silly bitch hit it!
Other was tuned by hill power or something, supposed to be 160bhp and all that broke was a gearbox mount.
My mates 205 has had rebuild after rebuild after rebuild.
It's the luck of the draw!

205 vs more powerfull 106's http://trackscotland.co.uk/vid/pug/CRAIL_205v106.avi
caril http://trackscotland.co.uk/vid/pug/CRAIL205vb106.avi and http://trackscotland.co.uk/vid/pug/CRAIL205vg106.avi
Knockhill 205 vs 205 with NOS http://trackscotland.co.uk/vid/pug/KH_chasing_Daz.avi
205 chasing elise http://trackscotland.co.uk/vid/pug/KH_chasing_elise.avi
and just cleartrack
http://trackscotland.co.uk/vid/pug/KH_clear_track.avi
The grating noise on the KH vids is the car bottoming out (wheels in arches). The bumpstops were off and rear beam was too low. Fixed and worked well after that

The car looks quick, you took those corners very well 
Great driving
