Compared to Renault's first Clio Williams from the mid-1990s, the modern Clio RS feels like a posh luxury car compared to its illustrious predecessor, and while it may be faster on paper, keen drivers would still prefer the experience of driving the former, especially if they have done so before, and can compare the experience.
