Clio or Corsa?

I'm looking at buying a 1.2 Renault Clio 2 (either the original or facelift version) or a Vauxhall Corsa C - either the 1.0l or 1.2l model. As all of them are around the same price range that's not an issue so much, but was wondering if any of them are better in respect of reliability, economy, maintenance and comfort or if any have common problems?

Look them up here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/ I can't answer because you didn't say what age you were considering buying. A Fiesta has a better reliability record than either.
