Surely a williams costs more to run than a Cup though.

If you like old school and can do without your toys then the willy would seam an obvious choice to me ,especially if your a true clio fan.What better way of saving a few grand than to chop in for a cheaper car and have the same driveability.
If i was house hunting then i would go for it

do it!
like Ian 182 says, if you cant afford the newer RS or just dont fancy owning one then the Willy is ideal, plus unlike new RS models it will hold its value. obviously the majority of owners on here are MK2 Clio owners, so you will get the majority advising you to keep the newer car and to be honest I would agree going on my own experience, as the Williams is not a car thats easy to own. It will cost more in pretty much every way you can think, and they attract a load of attention, which I dont really like when Im in a car... the advantage over newer clios is the driver feedback, its easier to drive fast from the various 172s ive driven. doesnt have the same level of grip as the 172, but the balance of the car is better so thats not really an issue imo.

Wot was the question then?Quote: Originally posted by TheJesus on 26 July 2005
well done Ian, that wasnt the question tho
Up until recently i owned all 3 at the same time. Well Ph1 172, Ph2 182 and a Willified Valver
182 and Hybrid are on par performance wise but the hybrid out handles the 182 and has a 10x better grin factor when driving it knowing your £2.5k 11yo beast can embaress most £20k+sports cars on the road. Oh and the gp 12 insurance helps too rather then 17
Have recently sold the 172 and am selling the 182 now so will just be left with the Hybrid which is having more toys added to it in the next week or so

is non-existent
well im still not sold on it but it balls down to a few old skool cars, series 1 rs turbo, r5 gtt, williams(without a sunroof), im sure a few more will crop up, but i fancy some turbo power power rather than rag the hell out of a 16v engine,
if the price is right and insurance wasnt an issue then an rx7 would be no1 choice
My Williams cost me nothing other than servicing in the 2 years I owned it.
Better handling than the MK1 & 2 172s but I have never driven the Cup so cannot comment on it.
Mine was quicker than the stats suggest - I have owned many cars that are around 20secs to 100 - Fiesta Turbos x 3 - Fiesta RS1800s x 2 - MK2 Golf 16v Gti x 1 - Saxo VTS x 1 - Golf VR6 x 1.
The little Willams was quicker than all standard. Once chipped the Fiesta Turbos had the legs on it.
It is built out of bits of tin but unlike the later Clios you are not paying as much for cheap plastic and thin metal panels.
