I've had my Clio Trophy as my daily driver for nearly 4 years and it has not missed a beat, more reliable than the e46 325i had previously. It's the last of the old school type hot hatches, bit raw, bit rough round the edges, light weight big engine and can be made to tip toe around on 3 wheels and it will still give modern day turbo charged hatch a good run. There have been many eulogies written about the handling so don't need to say anything more other than it begs to be spanked and will give you a big grin on a windy road, FUN! FUN! FUN!

Thanks for that Jon...I would look at a trophy but I don't think they have ABS do they?

Yes they do have ABS, it's only the 172 Cups that didn't. The Trophy has ESP which can be disabled too.
