such differnet cars.
I was toying with a coupe turbo or a 172 and brought the 172. I love it, but there are times when (long trips) when i whish i had something abit more comfy and sturdyer. On the other hand theres time when i take my work mates out (who all drive boring VAG's or beemers and take the piss out my girly clio) and they shit themselfs, the clio surprises alot of people
If you do decide you can live with a clio make sure its had the cam belt done as its due one and its a bitch of a job

I'd rather the astra, don't know about monetary values etc though but it just looks and, in my opinion, is a better car.

Cambelt was done at 40k on the Clio
I do mainly short journeys so dont seem to enjoy the Astra as much as I would if i did longer journeys, whereas the Clio has more of a fun factor IMO. Plus I need a hatchback to fit the corner flags for footie in 
Anyone else??

If they are worth the same money wise and you fancy the clio , go for it.

Cheers for you opinions guys! I would probably keep the Astra if I did more 'cruising' but I dont, all short journeys and country lanes!
Someone just phoned and wants to come and see it tomorrow so may have no need to swap!
