My first car 1.2 Clio. Never had any problems with it but it was brand new and sold before it was two years old. Cheap to buy and run, I averaged 39mpg, oh how I miss those days.

If it was my daughter I would want the most reliable car, not the best looking. I wouldn't want her stranded in a broken down car.

Dont think either car is MORE reliable than another to be fair mark !!!
Regular maintenance will take care of that - its a father thing. More important to buy a car thats been looked after so reducing the risks of problems. Just in case i'd pay the AA / RAC fees for the year to make sure she is never stranded.
I beleive yours was brand new ( - most people cant afford to buy their kids a new car to knock the corners off.... ) so was probably less at risk of breakdown !!!
Never had reliability issues with any mates that had the corsa. But can think of a clio or two taking a much needed rest on a recovery truck...

go for the corsa better built sxi is better build quality and the cars just seem alot more solid than clios.
