Renault Twingo RS Cup REVIEW on AUTOBAHN [NO SPEED LIMIT] by AutoTopNL

[@cd9730]

The 1 to 2nd gear change problem can be easely fixed by installing harder engine mounts (polybush), the engine moves too much with the soft engine mounts when revving it hard. Worked perfectly on my Twingo RS.

[@rubenvalente]

Never had this problem on the twingo RS I've drove, i think it's more driver related than anything else.

[@sgt.vernex6378]

neither has mine, maybe the synchro's are just gone on this example. The gearbox is still quite fragile in the RS models, so could very well be@@rubenvalente

[@TimTimGo99]

I have the Twingo RS too and I love this car so much. The sound is very cool for a 1.6 Liter engine from Renault.

[@mediumsiren7139]

Agreed, I have the gordini 1.6 RS and it's been my favorite for over the 6 years I've had twingos

[@dempsej]

I’ve hit rev limiter in fifth gear at about 215 kmh in mine, maybe wind was right ;) But Twingo RS was meant for cornering and I have to admit I was having a blast in corners :) Sold it couple of years ago, but still have good memories of little RS.

Great little car! Got mine 3 years ago and puts a smile on my face everytime. Something you didnt mention, is how good the pedal placement and feel is for heel and toe. And obviously you are not going to have any fun on the Highway. It pulls very nicely in second and third gear, but as soon as you get into fourth you'll be met with dissapointment.

I'm 18 and live in the UK and I got a 09 Twingo RS133 almost 3 months ago as my 2nd car (I had a 1L £200 car before that which was great fun but way too slow) I love the twingo. I used to race go karts but had to give it up and the first time I drove the twingo it reminded me of my old kart.

[@punkoid76]

It is like a go kart, I had one from new for four years, the last model they made, the Silverstone Cup GP. Loved it, felt very agile and had some power for a tiny car. I bought it because the parking where I live is ridiculous and I always loved hot hatches, traded it in on a VW UP! GTi, though it feels much better built inside and is virtually exactly the same stats wise it lacks something that little RS Twingo had and I can’t put my finger on it.

[@joeyoung6429]

Woukd you recommend it for me as my second car? Or should I go for something bigger?

[@JamesRouault]

@@joeyoung6429 absolutely mate. It was my 2nd car. Its fun and pretty quick, great community around it, proper first hot hatch. People in the car community also respect you for having one especially at the age we are. If you have lots of friends in it a lot or do a lot of motorway miles it's not the best as it is pretty small and the gearing is short so it'll be about 3krpm in 5th at 70mph. But they've depreciated and are rare so will become a future collectible

[@icestray]

Is insurance cheap on the Twingo rs?

[@JamesRouault]

@icestray it's group 20 so more than you'd expect for a hatchback of this size but depending where you live and how many years you've been driving its not oo bad. In my eyes it's 100% worth it

[@ricardo1e93]

Even older sports cars from Renault were weak to shift. I had a chamade 16v and shifting from 1st to second was a pain.

[@pauljackson112]

My wife had one of these (cup suspension, 'stormtrooper' with black alloys and white bodywork). Anyway, I stole it off her. I've never had so much fun in a car - even to this day. We later 'upgraded' to an RS Megane, but I regretted it immensely. Great car but couldn't hold a candle to the Twingo for fun.

[@punkoid76]

I agree, traded my Silverstone Cup RS Twingo in on an Up GTi, though I love the VW I think the Twingo was more fun to drive, used to absolutely hammer it around twisty roads and it felt like it was on rails.

[@rocket__man1280]

Can you please review the Peugeot 206 gti 180/rc, as another beginner hot hatch.

[@The-Druid-and-the-phoenix]

When I first started driving mine it was doing that 1st to 2nd thing after a week I got used to it and it’s changed great after you get onto how to do it

[@vic_Mei]

I buyed this Car for my wife. My Top speed was 217km/h but its so loud in the Car after 110km/h I was in the 5th Gear and all the time I think I m in the 3th gear how loud it is. The suspension are really Hard I have also the CUP RS with 17". This Car is Cute and make fun to chasse some 2liter BMW or other Cars. And you really need to push Hard to the tourqe to get power. There is no Turbo. And I dont know why they dont put a 6 gear transmission.

[@TheTwingoChannel]

Ive got two Renaultsport Twingos and that 2nd gear issue is the synchromesh. Often people leave the gearbox oil in for far too long. It really is not sealed for life. I replace the gearbox oil every 3 years. Replace the gearbox oil with ELF oil and that crunch will go away and will be smooth shifts - as long as the synchromesh is not worn out due to poor quality/worn out oil or lack of oil.

[@abomala1607]

Can confirm . Change with good oil and problem almost gone

[@nvl2691]

Stiffer engine mounts and fresh oil will make all the difference!

[@TomOostink]

@@nvl2691 I have stiffer engine mounts on my 97 Peugeot 306 XSi. I also have a 2013 Renault Twingo RS and I was thinking to put stiffer mounts on it also. The RS engine feels shaky. Gearbox does smooth shifts though.

[@tieshulshof1496]

Please review the old Ford Puma 1.7i. About the same power and weight as this, but with a very raw driving experience for such a car. The gearbox is very tight and the engine that got bored and VVT from Yamaha sounds very funky.

[@tieshulshof1496]

[@loicgiraud8622]

Elle serait mieux que la RS en performance, plus de couple...👍

[@bugattiincroyable]

1.2 TCE are unreliable

[@TheSwissBoy1996]

I've been driving a 1.2Tce with 120HP before and its pretty fun to drive but you cant really compare a 1.2 Turbo to a 1.6 suction engine. If you want something that handles like a sport car you should get an RS, if wanna have it cheaper but still fun to drive you should get a chip tuning for your GT. You'd be surprised how you can keep up but its still not the same. Suspension, exhaust, seats etc

[@Derpen1234]

I have the rs phase 2 and before that the rs phase 1. I have been sitting on the passeng sode of a gt for 11 years and i would defently recommend the rs)

[@rintrar]

a tuned 1.2 TCE feels clearly more powerful because of the extra Torque. I think if you mod your Twingo well, the extra money for buying and RS is not worth it.

Greetings, my 2008 Polo GTI has the same issue when shifting hard from 1st to 2nd gear. It does'nt always do it though. Still, doing this too often can result to some major damage in the second gear. The synchronisation rings is the the cause rumours say in the forums. They have to be supposedly replaced for heavy duty Synchro rings and that should solve the problem. It could be the same on the Twingos aswell I assume. (Reference to 7:25 in the video) Cheers from Germany! :)
