Clio 16v vs Fiesta RS1800

Fair enough. I wouldnt be bothered anyway, was just sayin.

Here is a pic of the overall verdict.

missing the point really, there are only something like 500 RS1800 made!?!?!..... would rather have one of those to be honest, my cousin had one it went really well and yes the interior was top!

clio's dont get to 60 in 7.4 seconds do they?

[bill.]

clio all the way!

[stevie_b]

The point being, they didn't sell many of them so it must be really good?

[mozzawily]

Why do most people buy Williams????----- cult status (handling/performance) and that there are not many around right?

RS1800 ok has not got the clios 'cult' status tag but is nice to own a limited run of a car - You would be surprised how good they are. I still would have one over the 16v evey day of the week im affraid!

That up there isn't a Williams.

As for going for the fester everytime, why? It's slower, handles worse, has less equipment, looks worse, and most of all......somebody stuck one of those horrible blue ovals on the front.

Thats what autocar got on their tests with the car and all the timing gear. With a good driver that time is possibe imo. Ive had 7.4 with a gtech but averaged 7.5-7.7 and 8.0+ with passenger

The rs1800 was clearly shit, thats why they bought out the rs turbo, but even in that is only valver pace in standard form

RS turbo came out before the rs1800 they were the last of the mk3's. Still would rather own an rs turbo, a lot more easy tuning capabilities!
