If I lift both the left and right wiper arms from the windshield it will hit the bonnet, is this normal?

Most good things in life have a trade-off. Its all about Yin and Yang......
Eat too much cake - you get fat. Datie a REAL good looking woman who knows it and fancies herself ? Likely she'll be high maintenance. Got a well-paid job ?......Then expect some stress.
Well the Clio (197 + 200 im talking about) is perhaps no different. If you want sublime handling on the limit then your luck's in. If you want a fab engine you can get just reward from thrashing daily - only to have it emerging the next day gagging for more; sign up and buy one. And if you want great looks with classical, aggressive flared arches and steroid derived lines - then you've deffo bought the right car.
BUT: Its obvious the Renault designers were so concerned with pin-sharp handling, injecting some serious fun-factor into the build and designing a power-plant that justified the chassis; they just plain forgot about ongoing running costs, reliability of some of the fairly major components, and some of the little touches that make ownership "easier" on a day-to-day basis.
Aswell as the wiper "issue" you'll find many of the other Clio foibles here: (http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?52941-Why-Clio-s-annoy-me-Part-1&highlight=
Get out and drive it on the right road and everything above becomes irrelevant of course
