200: Model year differences 2009/10/11/12

[docp]

Hello

I used to own a 2010 Clio 200 and am looking for another (low mileage ). I have had a search but can't find anything concrete so I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any differences between different production years for the 200? Ie are there any downsides to a 2009 car vs a later car? I vaguely remember there possibly being a gearbox update?

Thanks!

Top mounts were changed c.July 2010 but that's all I know.

With regards the gearbox, there is no 'ideal' model year unfortunately - there's no pattern to which cars are more or less likely to have issues with the 'box.

Ah ok thanks for the advice!

Do the top mount changes make a noticeable difference?

I guess I'm trying to work out if I should focus on finding a later model car?!
