Bit of a discussion for everyone im currently in the market for a willy hybrid i say that but there isnt a market as such just whatever comes along once in a blue moon, thing is iv always wanted a renault 5 and im seriously contemplating getting one would i be making a mistake any1 owned both a willy and an r5

iv already had a willy2 and never even driven an r5 if that makes a diffrence

interested to hear peoples opinions :D

There's nothing like turbo lag!

But seriously, the R5 is a great car. Very light, and bonkers once the boost is on. Had two myself. Totally different power delivery to a 16v/Willy. Probably more exciting I'd say in that depatrment, but they are older cars and prone to going even more wrong than a Clio.

My first one was a bit of a mess when I bought it, an old Raider, but once fixed up it was a total hooligan car which many preferred to my Impreza I had at the same time as you feel much more exposed. They are made of recycled paper you know...

cue rochdale williams.............

Not spoke to him in a bit, last I heard his reggie 5 was up for sale so not sure if he's got rid of it yet or not.

Would be a good buy though, a rare mint one.

Think there are details of it in projects section.

i had r5 mate get that .. you can not beat a turbo .. i sold my low milage r5 for a high mile clio 16v wish i did not had shit loads of problems. wish i held on till i saw me one i got now .. am ok with me 2nd clio now .. .. if you have had a willy get the r5 if you only keep it for 6 months .

you will now then why people like the r5 so mutch and fun it is

I really really fancy one as a second car.

i can't believe how expensive they are on autotrader, outrageous for the reliability they offer.

Ebay for me - a shed and mint it!

This is very nice apart from the daft spoiler;
