Complete waste of money over the 16v. I was gonna get one years ago. I found that on average they were £400+ more than the 16v to insure. 13bhp isn't worth it. If you follow the above link, you will see that they quote 7.7s to 62mph for both.
I thought my 16v was a better all round package than my 1.9 GTi.

Why go for the bridesmaid, when you can have the bride!
It's a widely held opinion that the Williams is far superior to the 16V, above 70/80 the Williams would start to pull away. If you get a good one expect very low 15's!
Handling and grip levels are also said to be higher! I'd love to drive one to compare it to the 172!

cheers lads - I am beginning to get doubts -
the prices these williams owners want makes them as daft as Cossie owners (had 3 cossies - so been there and thats why not buying another).
95 N 24k miles -£8.500
95 M 49k miles -£7.000
they're having a larf.
I Think they look the business - but at these prices could get loads better car.
will keep scouring the ads

Used to have an 'n' MY95 Williams 3.
Handling was way better than the standard 16v (wider front and rear track).
Engine was as solid as anything (even when pushing 190bhp for over 2 years!!) despite getting a damn good thrashing everyday.
If i could find my old one again, i would definately buy it back!!

Well, the Williams is quicker than the 16v...
Renault Clio Williams:
Power - 150bhp
0-60 - 7.7secs
1/4 Mile - 16.1secs
Renault Clio 16v:
Power - 137bhp
0-60 - 8.6secs
1/4 Mile - 16.7secs
So, not too shabby, but the Williams is not amazingly fast for what it is and is in fact the same performance as a Saxo VTS, which only has a 1.6 litre engine!!!
Citroen Saxo VTS
Power - 120bhp
0-60 - 7.7secs
1/4 Mile - 16.1secs
In my opinion the Williams is overated!

Don't know where you sourced that from. But if you follow the Cliosport link you will see:
Clio 16v :
0-100 kph / 0-62 mph 7.7 secs
Maximum speed 130 mph
Clio Williams :
0-100 kph / 0-62 mph 7.7 secs
Maximum speed 134 mph
My 16v certainly was nothing like 8.6s
