Renault Twingo 2014 - Which? car first drive

[@wynos0]

Rear wheel drive isn't a problem even here in Finland so don't worry about it in UK "winters" :) Great video!

[@WildChildXL]

Why does the presenter have a bird's nest on his head?

[@WildChildXL]

***** Good comeback, I'll give you that. :) The review was by the book, very informative - just don't like that rather distracting and funny at the same time hairdo.

[@geoffnoyes520]

Gravity defying hair!😊 Good video, many thanks.

Even though the 1L SCe 70 is down on power compared to the 0.9L turbo it is smoother with less clatter. Also one reviewer preferred the steering of the SCe 70 compared to the variable gear ratio steering of the Twingo TCe 90.

[@Matti6950]

Ye i'"m very in doubt between SCe 70 and Tce 90. For instance in Gen 1 twingo i prefer 1.2 75 hp engine, same in Corsa D, on Sce 70 hp, the 'torque' is very low so i'm a bit scared up hill and with high load, then again it sound better and more mature, more powerful then 2000-2010 similar engines, and for sure more powerful then Aygo. Hard choice.

for the winter it doesn't have to be difficult for it to accelerate. For manual: slowly shift. And for manual: put it on L for Low. that way it can accelerate with no problem.

[@kadeodonnell9068]

Different and funky looking car.

[@toniomineo]

I love this car!

[@billyh6872]

this car is awesome

[@GotCritified]

One thing though, normaly with backend engine cars . . . the main "boot space" is under the front bonet. This reviewer though forgot completely to show us whats there, he only slided it a bit to show access to battery and liquids, but there is more than a meter more space there which he did not present at all. Bad bad bad reviewer

[@raduovidiu377]

Wasted space. Cayman, Boxter front and back boot space, german vs france :)

[@MrBiohazard878]

love it! Can you turn the stability control off?

[@which]

MrBiohazard878 Nope

[@MrBiohazard878]

Hopefully in the Renault Sport version.

[@datsatoilet]

You can always take the fuse out... But that would more than likely turn the ABS off as well

[@6r4ff3r]

Goodbye old Twingos. Your praticality will be missed when i want to "see the stars"...

[@cjp9596]

Are you referring to the original Twingo's sunroof? You can get a fully retractable canvas roof on this one, too!

[@6r4ff3r]

Not properly the sunroof, and i put the "" when i refered "see the stars" :P In old Twingos (mainly the first generation) you've sufficient interior height to "enjoy" the bed made with its versatile seats...

[@JohnInSale]

Do they not have Winter in Mainland Europe and the Rest Of The World ?? !! D'oh !!!

[@vecernicek2]

This will be far BETTER than a fwd in winter, because it's a rear engine! Such a stupid comment from a car reviewer.

[@vecernicek2]

***** It's exactly the same reason why people with fwd cars can get up a slippery hill on reverse when they cant do it normally.

[@vecernicek2]

***** You got it. What you need in winter to get up the hill is traction. Man, you're car journalist, you're supposed to know this stuff and have some experience. Just buy an old rear engine car and do your homework on it.

[@vecernicek2]

***** Rob, of course you encounter bends, but I don't see your point why there should be any advantage at all in steering the same wheels that generate torque. Actually it's the other way around, there is plenty of problems to that conception. I don't write for car magazine and have not a slightest ambition to do so. The best magazine I wrote for so far is PNAS. I know UK is no Tibet, but you have some extremely beautiful mountains in the UK!

[@vecernicek2]

***** No need for 911, just buy an old Skoda Estelle. Not sure about your argument, though. I think there is plenty other reasons why most manufacturers don't produce rear engine cars. And those who do, use it in application (sports car) where instability would be even bigger problem than in conventional car. This is what Wiki says: In off road and low-traction situations, the RR layout has some advantages compared to other 2WD layouts. The weight is biased towards the driven wheels- as with FF vehicles. This both improves drive-wheel traction and reduces the tendency for the undriven wheels to dig in. In addition, the driving and steering requirements are split between front and rear- as with FR vehicles- making it less likely for either to lose traction. Many dune buggies successfully use a Volkswagen beetle as the donor car for this reason. The relative simplicity and light weight compared to 4WD can therefore sometimes outweigh the disadvantage of only having two driven wheels. This I think is the opposite of what you are saying. Is wiki wrong on that one?

[@vecernicek2]

***** Boy, I may not need to do anything. Especially I do not need to do more wiki digging to prove my points and generally accepted concepts against your exotic opinions (eg., that torque steer helps with directional control). What if you dug in the literature and provided references to your ideas? I am starting to suspect you that you're only being desperate not to acknowledge your mistake. Downward force... Maybe that's why Twingo has that spoiler in the rear? Quite a salient feature for a car reviewer to overlook ;-)
