Twingo Renaultsport: Review & Pics...

[Brett]

Weirdo?!

What for wanting my girlfriend to have a Twingo RS?

 

[Mark One]

for all renaults efforts, these are not very popular cars really are they. I've seen 1 on the road I think. Loads of GTs, but FA of the 133.
Everyone thinks, hmmm, nice car, could do with a bit more power. They really should've gone for a 1.4 turbo to help the tuning possibilities imo

 

[Phil_hill]

Looks nice!.

Brill price on tax aswell!

Deffo suited for the females thou.

 

[Naith]

your review just sums up what ive said since last sept, like anyone on here listens tho.

cs membership = a editorial in autocar iirc

 

[Justin]

Nice! I tried to talk my mrs into getting one, but no such luck

LOL. Eggzactly.

A few more should drive one, instead of read about driving one... or look in "The Knowledge" section of EVO, since it's their top-rated supermini drive.

 

[ForceIndia]

Basically a 182 chassis IIRC? I like them.

 

[Needster]

Looks nice. And by the sounds of it, runs very nicely too. I might have to find one of these for a little go in it. Cheap to run in terms of insurance and tax by the looks of it... Uses fuel, much?

Yup. Clio II chassis. Nearly identical to 182 setup.

Well, I hammered it nearly all of Saturday, and still got 38mpg.

Mint. Just as well it's not a 197 lump. f**king fuel muncher.

Sounds cool, lad. Pocket rocket, fo sho.

 

[Leeshez]

What a nice shinny picture .

 

[Hixle]

Niceee mate, I'd be tempted myself if I didn't do so many miles. Sat in one at the London Motorshow last year, actually don't mind the interior so much; driving position seemed better than my old clio too.

 

[nathanH]

Best colour combo too Chris!

The way you said it sounded dodgy Shemale ftl

 

[Ian_182]

My wife likes these alot...

I've driven one. Had a 25 min blast in one with about 5k on the clock. I said that it handled damn well and was fun in the corners, but wasn't anywhere near a 182 in straight line speed. It just felt like a nippy 1.6 on acceleration, and I was having trouble keeping on the tale of a diesel that I could destroy in the Clio.

Good looking car, quite like the dash tbh, seats aren't that good really, very frustrating driving it out of corners and off roundabouts, and you just feel like a girl driving it.

Jesus insurance at 19 is £800 for me. Tempted to get one instead of the 182 to save money :rasp: thats a free £1200 back straight away.

 

[Chris V6 255]

Very nice mate!!!
I love them!!!
If i didn't have a soft spot for ph1's I would have got one instead!
Have u thought of spraying the numberplate strip black? Would look mint!!!! Very focus RS

no brainer tbh. get it bought

 

[Aluco]

Only problem is they're a little small.. But then again my clio is small, but then I would have to pay the extra £k to upgrade the car, but the tax would be cheaper, but it would feel slower.

You see my dilema ? :rasp:

Tbh mate I'd go for it.

[Chris V6 255]

Ill be buying this one on 23rd October

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looks like something from Forza.

 

[Christopher]

LOL. Aye, i'm getting a Twingo on the 23rd October as well!

 

[Alex H]

LOL. Aye, i'm getting a Twingo on the 23rd October as well!

I'll be getting one and lowering it straight away

 

[Hixle]

I'll be getting one and lowering it straight away

I'll be making mine mid engined with some tosh laguna engine

 

[-Leigh-]

Same here. Undecided on colour atm.

 

[tommy g]

i was trying to pursuade the mrs to get one but i hate the rear end on them! everything else is really nice but it looks horrid from the rear!

 

[jimbo666]

They are excellent cars. I was excted at the prospect when Renault annouced it. I'd love one too but money doesn't permit atm. Maybe when I start my new job.

Chris, open up the bonnet. Down the left side of the airbox is a little square rubber bung. Take it off. Then go drive. Then tell me what you think!

 

[Christopher]

Ha! I'll give that a go, cheers!

 

[BIFCAIDS]

cant beleive ive not seen this, i love twingo's just something about the back lights that isnt right for me. Car looks ace and i like the stripes on it too

 

[Soph]

Gaz has told me I should buy one of these. Looked at one earlier on in the year and loved it. Will look into getting one when sell mine in around a years time

 

[R20 CWH]

9k for that, no bad especially for the mileage and cup packs.
seen a wee chav round here in one, if i get a chance to go with him we will see if its 2.0 pace, which i doubt

 

[jimbo666]

On a nice B road mate, it wouldn't be far off a 172 i bet.

 

[Christopher]

Definitely not far off.

Obviously in a straight line, it's lack of torque would see it wasted by a 182.

 

[MarkCup]

I'd love to take one on a RS trackday, huge fun. Almost worth buying one.

 

[Christopher]

I took it to the Cat & Fiddle road near me on Saturday.

ESP off is mental fun. You've got to be quick when it goes though!!

 

[TimR26]

Liking the pics. I've got my Twingo on order for 23rd October as well

 

[stuart1989]

I got one when they first came out, but got rid for my 182cup and i COULDNT be happier now.. mint car for a girl though

What does your girlfriend think of you ragging it over the Cat & Fiddle Chris?

I can't wait to do the Cat & Fiddle, hope I can make it to the meet, if not i'll be going on my own sometimes soon.
