    Clio 20th Anniversary Shootout in todays Auto Express

    There's an articlel celebrating the 20th aniversary of the Clio and comparing the four hottest Clio's.

    No.001 is shown in the rain (I'd dnot have been happy about that if it were mine!) and they complain about the un-assisted steering! Err, hello, the PAS on my No.41 works fine!!

    Then the bafoons vote the 200 Cup as being the best ever Clio.

    Oh dear. I bet all the knobs over on CockSport are playing with themselves by now...

    Have you driven any other clio's? The 200 is a pretty good car and the 197 and the 172/182 and the trophy. Id personally say from my experience that the trophy is one of the best clio's.

    This is Williamsclio.co.uk Of course the Willy is the best

    If you want different subjective opinions just visit 172clio.co.uk or 182Trophy.co.uk etc :D

    0001 isn't the best example to use imo, I read a group test a while ago, I think in CAR and it got slated due to the original tyres and problems with the suspension which I assume has seized over the years it was kept in storage.

    They should use a more 'used' Williams, maybe one which has recently been restored to factory standard for a fairer test.

    Sadly there will never be a fair test including a williams, 0001 is always the one they pedal out and its just not 100% anymore!
