there a small french hot hatch, the build quality should be the least reason for buying one
Only on early phase 1's as all phase 2s have the dog bone mount.
And as for the people claiming belts this and bollocks, some Clios are prone to problems and some are not just like any VW/BMW\Vauxhall.
Only problem I have had with mine is its done a pair of top mounts but I think thats down to the fact its get used hard.
Actually can't wait to take mine to the Ring next year.
Will end up doing over 30k miles in a year of ownership and its treated me well as I have spent the money servicing it and looking after it.
