Well, the clio only has 2 front seats and a dash, so there is plenty of room,

I know it would fit, buts its only a wee 1.2, :(

surley a valver engine in the back would cripple the rear suspension, make it scrub the tyres as its lowered already?

put it this way average adult weighs i think 80kg? so 3 adults in the back is 240kg... so it will be fine, don't worry about it. spread the load in the boot i would tho using some wood or something.

Sorted, lol. The clio it is, Altho if i can find a better, more comfy vehicle to take then i will, 1.2 clio is not the best for themotorway trips!, especially stripped :shock:

Cheers.
