I fancy one of these as a run about, ive never actualy owned a french car.

How reliable are they? and are they as quick as people say they are?

3dr_Mark reliability is hitty missy, like any older car to be honest. performance is pretty good too, 1.8 engine is canny once you get it past 4500rpm, the 2ltr williams is a far better engine, torque and power from 2500rpm, standard williams engine in my clio and i done a 14.8s 1/4 mile, not rapid but nippy handling is great tho, mine was fantastic on avo coilovers

Theres this lad with a blue coloured clio near where i live, im not sure if its a 16v or a williams but its definatly one of the two, anyway when he's on full throttle it sounds like an animal, little bit like a golf vr6

Here's a picture of my old Williams 3, had virtually no problems with it at all in the 2 years I owned it and it's handling ability was awsome! Great car in my opinion, I'd definately have another [/img]

Im soooo unsure what to beleve, some say there really unreliable and others seem to have had no problems. so im guessing at the sort of money i would be paying for one i should take a chance ....lol

i had one, was a good car, in 18,000 miles i had only a clutch.

the problem with them is that they expensive to fix when they do go wrong, 800 quid for clutch its just all labour due to such a big engine bein in small car,

will post some pics when i get to my PC

Mine was a Williams 3 so was a different shade of blue to the Williams 1's and 2's, the 3's are more of a purpley blue compared to the 1's & 2's! I must say this is one of the main reasons I went for a 3 as I prefer the colour
