The robot manual is a fecking nightmare - I believe about 40k miles is as good as the clutch life gets in these. They did start to produce a 'proper' automatic and if you had to have one, that'd be the only option worth considering.
I knew a guy who works in EMC testing (actually he owns the business) who used to run one of these and he decided to do a regulatory test on it, just out of interest.......£10k bill later and most of the warning lights were out and the car did actually run again! That's a regulatory test, so think about that one for a minute when you ponder what other corners they've cut.....even a Renault Scenic will survive this type of testing with nothing more than the odd flashing light that goes out when the test stops.

Well, if it's just had a new clutch then you have 40k carefree miles ahead.....
What's a 'semi-auto' anyway?
