Thanks again everyone for the input, I cant believe this is a computer forum and im getting all this great advice.
A friend had the 172 and although it went well I just am not aure on another clio. I think I am just going to try the Honda. I have never had a Honda and for 7k I really think a Type R is a Bargain.
I will get looking next weekend and see what I can find, I am hoping to stick to around 7k limit and get the facelift model.
I would like one with no more than 60k but we will see.
