I used to have one of those Clio Williams when I was a young man. One of my favourite cars of all time! This was a real blast from the past - yep, flaky 90’s interior and skittish ride on bumpy roads BUT…. that thing flies! No sense of inertia, it almost felt like a skateboard the way it scuttled down the road. Magical steering and predictable lift-off oversteer, it’s one of the greats. Plus it looks awesome, a muscular chunky little nugget of a hatch-back. “Oh Papa” indeed!
Ironically there was NO tie in with concerns to design or engineering between the Williams F1 team and Renault sport. The only link is the name, which always seems odd.
What an amazing episode, I love when people remember how nice it was to drive these old cars. I would suggest more reviews of cars like this Renault, try to find some Mitsubishi Eclipse or Nissan R34, Ford Escort Cosworth and other cars from those years.
Nice to see the Clio getting used. Proper 90’s icon. The lock up at the end of the video - I didn’t realise these had no ABS. I guess Jason was driving at that point… 😂
As a 20 year old with a love of classics, I love the element of very little creature comforts and I like driving old hatches on motorways, I adore the Williams 2 and it's my dream hot hatch for sure. I hope they don't get too much steeper in the next 10 years for my sake!
Good to see the Clio Williams. A 2.0L in a little shopping car was always going to be fun. No mention of the bonnet bulge! If you saw that in the rear view mirror back in the day you'd move over!! I purchased a Clio 182 last week and I'm having fun every time I pop out in it.
Really enjoyed this episode! I wonder have new cars become so sophisticated that they have lost all character, or am I just getting old that I find the older stuff so much more interesting.
Excellent and interesting, especially the price! - 2 x GR Yaris Mega Road Trip for 2022 being planned as we speak I hope - you promised ........... Still love my GR, it's just perfect for the Brecon roads...
I had a Williams 2 back in the early 2000s, kind of wish I never sold it, was an angry little thing. I had the Clio Cup racing ECU on it, which had to be soldered in! Made it a whole other animal, grrrrr
I think my 2004 Ep3 Type R slots in beautifully between these 2 cars. It is easy to see why the Honda is almost universally loved. It is a FANTASTIC little car.
Great vid and agree with your joint summary, though I think you were harsh on the Clio Williams regarding understeer: I noticed it has Michelin CROSS CLIMATE tyres on, and this will do the grip and turn-in no favours. Otherwise 10/10. Nice to see this Williams - related car tested the week Frank Williams died, kind of a nice little tribute. 👍🏻
I agree, both with the timing and the understeer. Crap tyres will do that. You can easily get the car to lift off oversteer and then balance it with the throttle. Takes a little balls and practice though :D
@@BarneyWobba Mich Cross Climates are hardly crap tyres and, at the time year of this film, will give up very little grip wise to a summer tyre like a Pilot Sport.
I loved my Williams except for one thing the outside digital temp display it is so bright and in your face that I took the bulb out.....the Yaris I'd love one a pair of greats for sure
C'est un autre épisode fantastique, mes amies. Who doesn't love blue dials? And what about those fabulous chairs. No comparison though, the Yaris everyday for me. Great to see you two back together. By the way, there is a Carrera GT for sale here with 8kms on it.. should I tell them to contact you? 😁
What a wonderful couple of cars. I have long lusted for a clio williams and this is a stunning example. The yaris is testament to how things have moved on. I think an escort cosworth vs yaris would be a fairer test given the homologation roots of both. Great channel though, keep going & I will keep watching 👍
I agree with @moosta16. Comparing Lancia Delta Integrale or an Escort Cosworth should be a right task to do. Either than this I am an ex Williams owner too. In my opinion Williams is the explanation what should have be a hothatch to be like. Honestly saying I have owned Alfa 33 1.7 16V, Peugeot 205 Gti 1.9, 106 Gti, Opel Astra F Gsi 16V, Citroen C4 Vts 2.0 16v but Williams is Williams is. Far more better car than all. If we come today I did not have chance to drive Yaris yet but I do not think it should be an iconic car like Clio Williams in coming years.
@@Shane-zx4ps sorry about my thoughts but this is only Peugeot fans opinion. I do drive once 306 but I have entered 20+ rallies both gravel and tarmac 106 Gti Gr.N also Gr.A. I also do like Peugeot but you can not compare Williams with 306. I have owned Williams 5 lovely years made 15.000 km. I sold it for buying a super sport dreams I am still hating my self.
Love the Clio Williams a great Hot Hatch icon, personally although I love the Clio I would stick with the Yaris as a Keeper!! around 2001 I bought an Lotus Esprit Sport 300 (kept for 10 years) from a real PetrolHead whom almost died in a Clio Williams when he was driving on Wales and he had a long history of performance cars. Much safer to keep the Yaris if you have to chose between both of them!!
The Rear inside of the Clio Looks Cute. Fantastic Video Gents. I had the same engine in my Renault 19 16V Chamade. I was a massive fan of Touring Cars in the early 90;s.
My first new car was a 1987 VW golf GT (US GTI in 4 dr) I loved it …miss it … totaled by an ambulance … fun to drive … to bad kids don’t learn to drive stick shift… if they did perhaps there would be more interest in driving? Bravo guys I love your channel
Clio all day long, and holiday for the next few years with the change.. Old school rules.. See that's what you do spank your mates new and expensive pcp purchased car with your fun and affordable easy to service hot hatch.. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe 😎👍
Nice vid chaps - Had a Williams 2 in 1995 but I preferred my 86 Renault 5 turbo tbh..in fact I preferred my 5 turbo to my 205gti when I had both at the same time in 87. Just think I like torque over power...full stop ! - I hated the 2003 Exige I had (no torque) and also the 1993 Integrale (no torque) and a 2006 182 Clio Renault too. On the road for me torque is king 👑 and even the MG Metro Turbo I had in 86 I liked as it was sweet when on boost ! The Uno turbo my mate had though was a bit pants !
The Williams is an iconic car of the 90's. On a track, the Yaris will demolish the Williams, but outright pace is not the factor that defines this comparison. The Williams is an iconic car of the 90's. It will always be so, the King of the 90's hot hatches. The Yaris is an amazing achievement with that 3 cylinder engine, but there will always be a more powerful car brought out somewhere down the line. The fact that this video still refers back to the legendary Williams is a testament to how much of an impact it has made since it's launch in 1993. I've driven many Williams's over the years and have many fond memories. A few were chipped, they got rid of that very low 6500 RPM limiter and went to a much more satisfying 7200 RPM...mixed with a tuneful exhaust, it transformed the car into something more akin to it's Grp. N. rally cars. I actually have a Williams 1 tucked away, in pieces currently. Prior to mothballing it it had 220 bhp and about 830kg. Trust me when I say IT WAS F*CKING RAPID.
Interesting review of 2 cool cars. Listening to Jason delivering a car review is similar to how I imagine Danny Dyer critiques Renaissance art… communication maybe not their strongest suits 😉
Similar design approach with both cars, great comparison to see. I’d take either, true “people’s car” attainable performance you can actually use on the road. Love it 👍
I’m a sucker for the gold wheels and subtle bonnet bulge. Late 90’s to mid 2000’s is my favourite era. Bags of character, but still modern enough to use everyday. I think I might just choose the 182 trophy over the Williams though, although it’s a very close call. Great review Damian and Jason, thanks so much
A moment for Mr. Frank Wiliams, who will be greatly missed. The great debate today does your car has this technology if not you are considered outdated. In certain instances perhaps, for example, braking systems are far more advanced, stability control to name a few. The big question I have is why on earth do we need monitors in cars. When I get into a car I drive with my eyes on the road. Unfortunately, people think with all the technology in automobiles they are safe. With the Clio Williams you don't have electronic repair bills or messages telling you your car is sick.
hello mate , this isn't really relevant to your vid but I'm think about buying a 488 2016 - 17 for around 160k but Im a bit concerned about 2 things first depreciation and second being able to sell it after around 18 months of ownership , I understand the car will probably depreciate around 15 k in that time , however the greater concern is being able to actually sell it when the time comes round , I'm kind of assuming that it will have to be sold back to a dealer which makes me think that they will offer 20 k less than the value , so the overall net loss will be in the region of 35k for 18 months of ownership , I'm I in the right ball park here ? just after a bit go guidance , knowing obv you guys are very experienced with this ?
I think we all need therapy ! I have a collection of 28 cars similar to yours .. Ferrari’s , 675 lt , gt3 etc etc . I also was going to buy a Yaris but changed at the last mind to a bmw m2 manual .I also have the obligatory old school hot hatch - a 1983 golf Gti . So here’s the issue, we all end up using and enjoying the cheaper cars . The more expensive ones get closeted away and barely used and as a result not enjoyed . One day we will be on our deathbeds wishing we hadn’t spent our lives driving the cheaper cars and storing the good ones for someone else ! Group therapy would be a good idea !
I had a mk1 Clio and didn't think it had plastic front wings. Just ones that went rusty. I know a mk2 had plastic wings. They general rot boxes really as mine was going rusty at less than a year old. So that will have or need rust proofing fast as it will rust away before your very eyes. I bet Renault never paid out on it so called eight year rust warranty.
@@portland573 driven all those and the williams is the greatest hot hatch ever made imo. The yaris feels like an arcade machine compared to the williams like all modern performance cars sadly..
Really enjoyed this episode, love the Clio from the outside but not sure I could live with that interior. Thanks for answering my Lotus question last week, I think using Bell & Colville may be the answer.
clio wins on looks department for sure and cooler.- interior is class and the alloys are cool retro speed lines - 15 alloys on fat tyres handle great on UK roads and comfy to.
30k for a Williams 1 is nuts, 30k for a Williams 2 means you need to be in a lunatic asylum. They are realistically worth about 5. You can buy a 16v for 3 and put an f7r in it and you effectively have the same driving experience if you fit the williams front suspension (total cost probably 5k). People who pay 30k are nutters and need locking up. 1300kg for the Yaris. No thanks. Just like all modern cars it is too big and too fat. And you talked about the wheels but totally overlooked the fact the williams has a massive advantage due to its 7kg wheels. The MK1 clio is also one of the only cars that you can fit any of its own part (including all body parts) in. You can actually fit a bonnet and a tailgate in the back of the clio at the same time. So it not only pisses on the Yaris for fun, its also more practical. Plus you get 40 mpg on a run. Also the seats in the phase 2 mk1 clios are probably the best seats in any car ever.
I think my 1982 Saab 99 GL remains my favourite! I like my big windows! Comfy seating, 2litre power, it’s fast enough for today’s roads & built like a tank! Saab built these to win rallies in Sweden in Winter!
Warning to the gr family someone tried to steal my dad's gr last night came into the house about 11pm grabbed a handbag unfortunately for my sister it was her bag & stolen her car 🤬
@@TheCarGuysTV thanks for your reply sorry to put this on your video just wanted people see this it's just sickening my dad's 70+ & it's the first new car he's ever had now it's put him off doesn't want the stress.
Good episode Jason and Damian. I think Av use to have a blue Renault just that colour, not sure if it was this model though, then she moved to VW’s. Great to see you both, take care guys.
I always have been in love with the Clio,one of the very best ever Still,if you ask me Yaris o Clio,I go for the Yaris,it make it look like a great deal,it's spicy and new No comparison
I would auction a Renault if I won one as a prize, but doesn't the Clio look elegantly designed, stylish, in proportion, and subtle, compared to the white angular, oh dear Yaris. Understand the concept from earlier videos, but where is the feel good factor away from a track. As always, personal choice and I am sure Toyota will sell lots.

Daily the GR and for some nostalgic fun I would be in the Clio! Yep I would definitely have both in my dream garage!
Good choice!

Loved this episode - they were very honest….but I loved the passion and love they have for the Clio - genuine enthusiasts!!!
Nice to see the Clio getting used. Proper 90’s icon.
The lock up at the end of the video - I didn’t realise these had no ABS. I guess Jason was driving at that point… 😂
Williams 3 had ABS. Previous versions, nope.
Never locked up my Williams 2. It has lovely feelsome brakes!
I have a 2003 Renault Clio 172 cup and love it .

Great to see the Clio on the channel. I’m old so would pick that over the very capable Yaris.
Those seats look so comfortable.
Agreed.
I went from a Clio 182 Trophy (owned from new) to GR... The Trophy was already in another class to the Williams.
Really enjoyed this episode! I wonder have new cars become so sophisticated that they have lost all character, or am I just getting old that I find the older stuff so much more interesting.
The GR has bags of character, so I would have to say there is still hope for modern cars.

1996/7 I bought the Clio 1.8 RSI, it was definitely a pocket rocket and I would be tempted to buy a mint example now if I could find one.
I think my 2004 Ep3 Type R slots in beautifully between these 2 cars.
It is easy to see why the Honda is almost universally loved. It is a FANTASTIC little car.
This is what makes me happy … great episode guys 👍
Thanks, Terry
What about the pathetic colour choices for the Yaris compared with the delicious metallic blue of the Clio. Progress?
True
Keep up the great content guys. Wonderful eclectic mix of cars
Thanks, Max. Unfortunately, this one has done surprisingly badly so far...
The Clio is much cooler to my eyes. Think it also just reminds me of more fun times so I suppose a hint of rose tinted specs. Still prefer the Clio.

These tyres should still be miles ahead of what the car was available on when new.... and they are the correct size, so plus points for originality.
I got a williams 3…… watching this just looked up yaris on autotrader tempted lol
Strong video. Delightful to compare these two. The Yaris is great and checks many boxes…but there is something about that Clio I just love
Them Clio’s with a ram air induction kit sound amazing.
Great vid chaps

I am amazed that these two cars have only £3000 between them but 26 years apart! Your chatter really cracks me up!😂

That williams 😍
Clio could have been made from recycled anchovy tins,they are tinny ,excuse the pun ,Yaris is much better in every aspect
For me, the purity of the Williams can only be matched with cars of the same era, or before. It is a subjective opinion.

Yes you are in the right ballpark there.
Finally a car that can carry my two full sized iguanas.
full respect for the "hot" hatches both old and new....how about you try to find an 80's Renault R5/ RS5 for review?
If we can
Surely a fairer comparison would be a V6 Clio vrs the Varis.
Or the Clio vrs a ST150 Fiesta. Which you can buy a decent one for 2 grand.
Difficult to compare,the GR yaris operates at such a higher level of performance and design.The Clio now trades on its rarity more than anything else.

Those lines at 12:30. Was that from the Fast Show? We got that here in Oz in the 90's.
Yes it was
I think I'd have a 182 trophy over a William's, they're still an old school hatch, a lot cheaper, and probably more fun than both.
Had a Williams 2, had a Trophy for nearly 16 years. The GR kicks both.
@@portland573 driven all those and the williams is the greatest hot hatch ever made imo. The yaris feels like an arcade machine compared to the williams like all modern performance cars sadly..
I was really hoping for Jason to compare the “see-alls”… 😂
Very interesting. I'd buy the Clio for £30k, but then I do most of my miles in the 1965 Swiftune Cooper in my collection worth about the same.
Might as well keep hold of my cup 172
Jeez I thought the Yaris was perfect till now. If the classic and very pretty Clio was 4wd, my pick would be hands down Clio!
Remember those wonderful 1990s Nicole and Papa Renault Clio tv ads?
Really enjoyed this episode, love the Clio from the outside but not sure I could live with that interior. Thanks for answering my Lotus question last week, I think using Bell & Colville may be the answer.
Clio williams wins everyday super cool and they love a good blast on a B road 👍
Forgot to the mention the biggest point Royal Navy over Gold wheels 😗

So it not only pisses on the Yaris for fun, its also more practical. Plus you get 40 mpg on a run. Also the seats in the phase 2 mk1 clios are probably the best seats in any car ever.
I think my 1982 Saab 99 GL remains my favourite! I like my big windows! Comfy seating, 2litre power, it’s fast enough for today’s roads & built like a tank! Saab built these to win rallies in Sweden in Winter!
It is crazy to know that 0-60 of this Yaris with 1.5 litre is a touch faster than my 987 Boxster S with 3.4L proper flat six. wow just insane.
It really is
If you remove the tube from de airbox of the clio it will make a very nice hauling noise when giving it the beans :)
I would take the Clio, nobody will give the Yaris a second look. The Clio makes it into the Heinz Beanz can. 👍
You are kidding - forget a ropey old Clio, everyone would be all over the GR!
Warning to the gr family someone tried to steal my dad's gr last night came into the house about 11pm grabbed a handbag unfortunately for my sister it was her bag & stolen her car 🤬
Those sons of bitches
@@TheCarGuysTV thanks for your reply sorry to put this on your video just wanted people see this it's just sickening my dad's 70+ & it's the first new car he's ever had now it's put him off doesn't want the stress.
The lack of visibility on new cars is worrisome
Us Americans have the engine and the drivetrain but we have to suffer through a shitty 4 door-only Corolla chassis that weighs more than the Yaris
Good episode Jason and Damian. I think Av use to have a blue Renault just that colour, not sure if it was this model though, then she moved to VW’s. Great to see you both, take care guys.
I think she might have had a Renault 5 in blue, not sure about a Clio, but she might've.
My mate had one , it handled really great but my corolla 1.6 GLI 120ps could beat it down the motorway no problem. Above 70 it hit a wall.
Hahah easy Clio Williams!! Best Hot hatch ever made!!
I always have been in love with the Clio,one of the very best ever
Still,if you ask me Yaris o Clio,I go for the Yaris,it make it look like a great deal,it's spicy and new
No comparison
If you “can’t see nothing” you can see “something”.
I would auction a Renault if I won one as a prize, but doesn't the Clio look elegantly designed, stylish, in proportion, and subtle, compared to the white angular, oh dear Yaris. Understand the concept from earlier videos, but where is the feel good factor away from a track. As always, personal choice and I am sure Toyota will sell lots.
Sold out, actually
Not fair… Delta Integrale would be the best to get next to the yaris 👌
Prices can only go up since Sr Frank's passing.
AWDのTurbo CARとFFのNA CARを比べるのは、どうだろうか？🤔😅 どちらかと言えば…昭和の頃の、シビックType－Rが合うのではないか？🤔 同じ３Door HatchBackだし！😁
