Ive owned a Twingo Play 1L naturally aspirated engine for a month now and I disagree with Matt a little. It is immense fun in town and very quick off the line. I also did a long motorway journey in it and it is very comfortable, quiet, and well able to keep up with traffic at 120 Kmph!!! Far nicer looking car than the rivals in my opinion....

I drove it's sister vehicle , the smart forfour 0.9 turbo 90hp vehicle and it is the closest I can find to a go kart. I'm sure the twingo drives pretty much the same and it was so much fun to drive. off the line , it flies !!!!!! I reckon it's 0 to 20 miles per hour time is very impressive. I bought the smart but the twingo was high up on the list AND is cheaper than the smart.

Safety rules are more stringent. Also space inside is used for people, not boot IMHO.
@Mladjasmilic9 жыл бұрын
I believe that if they were bothered , they could make space for at least spare wheel somewhere in front . This summer I was driving on motoway in 3 AM and at 120km/h I run over dead animal (it was raining and I did not see it) . Bome punctured tire from below and than erupted from side leaving 2 cm wide hole . Tire repair kit is useless in that case . I had under the boot 14 year old spare (old as car) . I drove all from Aleksinac (Serbia) to Stavros (Greece) on spare , which is about 550 km . Putting new one on rim insted punctured costed me 40 Euro . Car service , in 3AM , during rain would cost me a lot more and it would take lot more time . I have Hyundai Atos , same size at that Twingo , but it is 5 seater .

@fundiver1989 жыл бұрын
They are cheaper to make and ligther. And in this day and age, where nearly all new cars have aircondition, how often do anyone actually open the rear windows? It just never happens, so it makes complete sence to save money by making a cheaper opening mechanish. Want lots of fresh air? Then spend the 900 pound extra and get the big sunroof.

WHY is it still UP instead of near the window controls ..? and second , in NO car should you have glossy interiour , especially in a semi convertible, unless you really want to get blinded by the sun , and i really hope, for mechanichs sake , they used only standard bolts or alan key type is there , lastly the engine in the back .. nice , but 3 cylinders yeah, only girls would like that if you know what i mean

@fundiver1989 жыл бұрын
David Texugo Not really. More like a big Fiat 500. The 1960`s Fiat 500 was rear engined, so its a bit ironic, that the modern Fiat 500 is FWD, while its actually Renault, who have built, what is technically the closest thing to a modern reinterpretation of the 500. The VW Beetle was rear engined also, and there were a number of other rear engined cars as well including NSUs and Skodas. So its not like, the Porsche 911 was the only rear engined car, until this came along.
