EVO Willy

[Wobba]

There is a really nice write up in EVO magazine for their long term Williams. This month is a review about a 1000 mile trek all over the place, including a track day at Spa.

The car is looking good with it's refurbished alloys.

In an article i read the other day he was saying his Diesel Modeo was a faster car.

Recent back-to-back blasts on the roads in Evo Towers' back garden between my Clio Williams and a 2.2-litre diesel Mondeo revealed that the impressive pace of a well sorted hot hatch, one which still feels quick 15 years after it stopped production, struggles to match that of a decent diesel.

Absolute bollocks.

Diesel Modeo 0-60 : 8.4

Clio Williams 0-60 : 7.1

Diesel Modeo weight : 1600 kg

Clio Williams Weight : 990 kg


He also states that the Modeo 'probably using half the fuel'. Which is easy to disprove with a quick look at the MPG figures for the modeo which are 45 mpg combined. So driving it flat out to keep up with a Clio Williams you will probably be getting 30, if that. You probably get close to that in the Clio.

Cant be arsed to find the 0-100 because its obvious the Modeo is much slower and not much better on fuel because it is FAT and HEAVY and has NO REVS and LONG GEARS. Like all rubbish diesels.

Who thought of comparing a Clio Williams against a brand new Fuct Mondeo? Utter B*****

A petrol head is a petrol head because petrol heads love petrol, you cant find excitement from a Diesel. I have a family diesel and thats about it - yes it returns 48-52 mpg and its remapped to about 165bhp but its not exciting, the only time I get excited is when I'm towing a broken Williams on a car transporter mainly because its got loads of torque!

My Msport 320d is quick cross country than a Williams....

Why do they have any reason to be biased - none. Just have to accept that there are much better cars around these days. The Williams isn't a quick car and a 2.2 mondeo is no slouch.

ooohhhh no i can see this ending in tears

Just remember lads the Williams Evo tested may have been a dog and never serviced!

im sure all "your" cars are much faster

It's interesting though, the latest report mentions how the Willy is not much slower than the Clio 200 round Spa.
