6th gear??

[Tommo]

Does anyone else think the Williams should've had a 6th gear for motorway cruising? I have to drive like a granny every day to work to keep the fuel bills down! Even at 60mph it's at 3k revs! Is this common?

What it lacks on a motorway, it gains on the country lanes.

When Reno built it i don think Motorway confort was at the forefront of their mind. Winning rallies was. If you start compremising on cars abilities so its an all rounder, it will just end up like the present crop of warm hatches. The could have stuck a 6th gears in, and soften the suspension, and added abs and etc etc. Glad they didnt.

Hardcore all the way. 5 gears is fine.

so hardcore that the rally clios had 6 speed boxes lol

I think your in need of that 6 speed box jon if you go through this one within a year!!!

[KingStromba]

They were sequential boxes jon. Hardly the same as adding an extra cog to a road car, which was the original question


Should the Williams have a motorway cruising gear?

Not

Shoulf the Williams be fitted with sequential boxes?
