WTF?

Heres mine - seems a while ago already!! You were all very helpful by the way!!

HI, I am considering among other cars a Clio Williams but the stats seem too slow. I have found a autocar test online that gives 0-60 / 7.6 and 0-100 / 22.8 both of which seem a touch slowish for the power. My Fiesta RS Turbo was slightly quicker as std (test by evo). I can only assume its actually quicker than this taking into account the 106 Gtis book time of 0-60 / 8.6 secs being way off and most french hot-hatches being quicker than book time. Anyone help?

The 16V seems as quick as the williams

Oh and reliability, we had a few mk1 & 2 clios in our company and their reliability was terrible, are the Hot Hatches better? My RS Fiestas have always been reliable but rust came as a non-optional extra.

I am also looking at a 306gti-6 / maybe a VTS(cheap & fast) or another RS but the Williams is on top of my list.

Hello Everyone just thought I would post this before going back out to play in it. This forum has been of great assistance to me in researching and buying my new car, thanks everyone. Just cant wait to get 650 miles approx under my belt. Does anyone know how I go about getting an English manual, mine is in Dutch, thanks? http://www.cliosport.net/images/OldBBS/9 http://www.cliosport.net/images/OldBBS/9 http://www.cliosport.net/images/OldBBS/9 http://www.cliosport.net/images/OldBBS/9 This is the earliest one I can find. First one that I did was to inform people about the 3 year warranty on imports but I cant find that.

Ive recently taken delivery of a 2002 Clio 172. I find that when starting the car from cold (over-night), it starts immediately and pulls away strongly. However after the car has been used and left for a few hours and cooled down, when I start up it fires immediately but when moving off there is a lot of hesitation / poor throttle response. After about a minute when the temp guage starts to rise all is fine again!
Has anyone else experienced this problem

..... sh*t ..... that seems ages ago! Never quite solved that problem. Still farts about when its cold even after flash upgrade!!

I used to get this until I did an oil change and used Silkolene Pro, now there is no hesitation and takes next to no time to warm up.
