You wouldn't buy the Clio for quality unfortunately .. but for waht you pay for, it has great BFYB value !! My verdict Corolla, I would get cos it looks great and it is a reliable car day in day out with a bit of poke! Clio, I already have (!) because it is definitely the BFYB car at the moment Type-R, although the best performer with best build quality, hard for me to comment because I have not been in one before !! However, if it was given to me, I would take it but if I had to pay for it I would not get it.
