Faults:

When I first got the car the rear wash wipe was broken. That got fixed straight away thanks to the three month warranty. No other problems.

General Comments:

This an extremely quick car. It has no modifications and I've had it to 60 in 10.5 seconds. It wipes the floor with a Corsa 1.4 SRi and Saxo 1.4.

The car handles almost as well as my old Mini Cooper, but thankfully it's a lot comfier.

It's got all the electrics you could wish for, the six speakers are wicked.

Faults:

The switch stopped working for the passenger window.

The cambelt went at 81000 (5000 over the change interval though), heavy valve damage incurred.

The lumbar support in driver's seat broke.

Failed its MOT on anti-roll bar bushes (outer).

The offside rear caliper seized at 90000 miles, causing the handbrake cables to snap.

General Comments:

In general this car is brilliant!, it gets used and abused daily and through it all has been extremely reliable.

The car has ample power, but sometimes the lack of torque just before the main power hit occurs is evident.

Handling is very nice indeed, measured the understeer if overstretched, is very controllable.

The car is also good on fuel if driven with respect, getting over 30mpg. Tires last well also, although the fronts wear at about twice the rate of the rears.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with the car so far, thankfully.

General Comments:

Extremely quick hot hatch.

Handling is very impressive, voted one of the best drivers cars ever made.

The look of the car sets it aside from all other Clio's. Its much meaner and meatier looking and the flared arches allow 18" alloys without problems.

Recently replaced the standard exhaust system from the cat back, with a Powerflow custom built stainless steel exhaust. The car now looks much more aggresive and powerful, and the sound is incredible, more like a GTi-R or a Cosworth.

The interior is superb. Blue carpets fully line the floor and the Williams embroidered seats are incredibly comfortable and wrap you in tightly. Even the blue seat-belts follow the colour code of the car.

I would say the only problem I've encountered so far is the fact that the car red-lines so quickly! While overtaking, the rev limiter can kick in and it should have been time to change gear! The car is really quick in the first few gears due to the ratio's, but opens up in 4th and 5th so the car could be pushed to the limits without the rev limiter needing to be used.

The Williams 3 is also the last model of the Williams range, and comes with anti-lock brakes (ABS) as standard. Handy.

It would have been so much nicer if Dimma kits came as standard too!
