I'm not even sure the French have words for "reliability" and "quality"

Enthusiast forums are the last place to ask for an unbiased opinion though. You'll find the same on Peugeot and Citroen enthusiast forums.

My Clio 172 was ok for a Frenchie. Had it three years and about 60,000km. Had to have the radiator recored because it split and replaced the rear exhaust mount because they break. It was scarier in the rain than either of my MR2's though.
