GR Yaris Vs Clio Williams! How Far Have Hot Hatches Come in 26 Years?

Since we know you all love a good Versus episode, this week we pit the current hot hatch favourite Toyota GR Yaris against one of the greatest hot hatches of all time, the exquisitely French Renault Clio Williams 2.

We look at all aspects of these two epic cars – both owned by TheCarGuys – and compare how they are to live with and drive.

Exactly how far as the hot hatch game moved forward since the 1995 Clio? Which gives better beans? What’s it like to drive the Williams in anger? How do they compare in terms of exterior, interior, engine and dynamics? And which would you take on a long journey today? Do you need to own both? All these questions and more will be answered in this week’s episode.
