Yeah they made the second one a lot more normie, but it still uses pretty much the same engines, gearboxes and the front suspension is also pretty similar.
@@Zakis_wonderful_world while I love some of the creature comforts of the later twingos, I rather prefer the simplicity of the earlier ones. I have one in coriander green, also got it cause of intrusive thoughts. Bought it before it went for the scrapper for 100€, spent like 6 times that and now its this rugged lil get anywhere. Reliable, simple, surprisingly comfortable, somewhat economic, and extremely practical. To this day, I bet renault engineers still dont know how they got it so right with the mk1 twingo :)
Twingbros unite, hon hon! 💪 The 16V D4F engine loves to rev, make it scream. Redline shifts every time. You can fit 195 wide tires if you roll the fenders. Install some coilovers too. It's a mad little hooning machine.
They never sold these in the UK but we got the Clio 172 which is a pretty good little hot hatch. Love mine. Think an F4R swapped twingo would be peak renault.
@@adamholmes91 Idk either. Seen a few LHD ones on tracks before. Never really knew of them to be that popular around the rest of europe. I know we got most of the trophy cars. Think they sold a few in Switzerland or something. They are everywhere here.
This is a good wisdom my guy. These are words that supercar and tuning fanatic kids don't understand and never will. I have nothing against supercars and tuning. I just hate how a major part of their audience are just overeactive fanboys, especially with supercars. But I recognize there are understanding and mature people to keep these 2 things good for people that are geniunely interested in this.
My dad had a facelifted Mk1 Twingo with the 16 valve engine. It was loud and had a slow semi automatic gearbox but that didn't matter because it was simply fun and practical, we had to sell it because the gearbox eventually gave out but that little car has become one of my favorite cars of all time and i would love to own one myself in the future, it still hurts that we had to sell my dad's Twingo, it was a beautiful little car with so much character.
@@luk4s56 my dude I'm pretty sure if you ride in that car I'm pretty sure every other car would be ruined for you... It sounds like a joke but fun a d funky cars like that kinda makes other cars seem boring 😂 I've driven a Toyota Hilux with a predator motor in it and I can honestly say it wasn't fast but I've never smiled more in a car , just the roar or glorifying lawnmower engine and the wind (slowly) blowing through my hair as I order a big Mac in the drive through 😂😂😂 if you ever get the chance to take drive in some shit box , take it my dude😂😂
We had a phase 1 Twingo. Yellow, with factory alu wheels, powerstering, leather interior, ac, spoiler, special carpets, woorden gearshift in matching yellow and airbag. It was the first full spec (including all accecories) Twingo in Belgium and that problebly remained. Phase 2 (face lift) had the initial Paris version, which was alsof loaded with options. Love to own one again.
I had a '02 Twingo Initiale Paris with all the works on it, including the 2nd generation "easy" gearbox. It was a fun little car, though it suffered too many slightly too annoying electrical issues related to the transmission. It was a wonderful little car though, easy to park, cheap to run, hilariously spacious boot when you needed it (yes you can fit an Ikea Klippan couch in the boot of a Twingo). Best part about the robotic-manual gearbox is that it does the whole rev matching on downshifts. So if you pull up hard at a traffic light it makes all the little boy racers in their Polo's and Civics look at you very confused as a Twingo furiously works its way down through 4 gears to stop. Sadly after over 19 years and almost 300.000km it burned valves in 3 cylinders and it just wasn't worth fixing it all up again. I loved that little car. And anyone who claimed it was not a manly car, quickly shut up after being told I didn't need to compensate for other things by driving a "manly" car.
As a person who owns a gen1 twingo: All jokes aside, the little bugger is honestly one of the best city car you can buy and it costs absolutely nothing
i LOVE tiny cars. i now have a sportka, which is not only small and cute,it´s also kinda quick. But i still lust after the twingos, i wish i could have both
In (european) cities you accelerate quite well and it's not a thirsty girl. On highway... let's say 130km/h is possible but very exhausting. With the foldable seats you can pack a lot of stuff inside. And the small size can fit in tiny park spaces.
Very Nice Twongis and very cool channel. I went on a roadtrip to Slovenia through Italy a few months ago with my old Civic and it was very nice, too bad I wasn't able to take a look at the car scene more. Good job on taking care of that nasty leak, Twongi tend to leak, especially from beneath from what I heard (Never owned one). Have a nice time with the Twingo, having a new car is one of the best feeling on earth. Also, since I am from France if you need any help with reading documentation or websites or RUclips tutorials (thousands of them about the Twingo in France) in honhon language, feel free to hit me up, as a car guy and dirty weeb I'd be glad to help.
Thanks for the nice comment. I would actually need you to translate something for me when the time is right. I eventually wanna swap a bigger engine into the twongi and I found a series where a bunch of french lads did the swap, they talk about it in pretty good detail (I think), but I have a hard time understanding. Do you have Discord?

I never would’ve thought anyone could enthusiastic about these.. „Cars“ but after watching the video I still wouldn’t wanna be found dead in one not to mention alive. Great video 👍
old cars are precious I drive an old 2002 Skoda Octavia I spent 2800 in parts, including turbo, the entire rear axle, and much much more, also spent a bit on rust repair and rust protection perk ofbeing a mechanic is that I could do all the work myself. I love that car and I want to keep it alive as long as possible
I have one and I promised it I'm gonna be it's last owner D7f 8v AC no sun roof no power steering I disassembled the motor completely and sent it to rectify, reassembled with the best parts I could find, the whole process costed me about 1000 dollars without my workmanship
The best Twingo moments come from a video titled 'slow cars driving fast on the nurburgring 2021', there's one pair of bros in a Twingo absolutely sending it and visibly having the time of their lives, it's wholesome af.
I bought a 2007 mk1 twingo a year ago specifically because its impossible to take serious as a car, its just too quirky. But damn is it impressive! With a large foldaway top and 16v engine its a blast to drive on country roads in the summertime. Its narrow tires make it huge fun to throw it around corners and feel it doing these little four wheel drifts, while the tiny 1.2 75hp engine has a happy eagerness to it that just makes driving fun at all speeds. I took it offroading multiple times because why not, and drove it like a maniac on muddy, steep tracks it shouldn't possibly be able to traverse but it just kept going and going no problem. The space inside is just insane for such a small car, and the large windows provide excellent visibility in all directions. But the best part is that, despite its official top speed of 168 km/h, I took it up to 183 km/h on the German autobahn, with a boot fully loaded with heavy stuff. A car is good when it put a smile on the drivers face, and this one does it every single time. Its just pure distilled fun, and nothing else.
I love the OG Twingo. Looks like you guys got high-spec Phase II or III models. The PCV system on the D4 and D7 engines isn't great, so I'd definitely recommend a catch can to avoid oily messes. Make sure to check your timing belt.
Here's a tip from a Croat on how to make your twingo even more insane. Put eyelashes on that that cute lil guy, turns more heads than anything else on the street :)
Cool vid I feel like the twingo is getting more and more popular over the years and honestly its fun to see. I bet those will be a really fun reliable daily drivers.
This is like the episode where Hammond tricked Clarkson into buying a shitty car while May got a car that's even worse on his own because he's freaking May.
God I love these SO much. A methane converted twingo was my childhood, sadly it didn't make it long enough for me to drive it. It was so comfy, had the best naps on the backseat. Hope I get to drive it one day, thanks for the video
A Remarkable little car,I rarely had to work on one myself as a Former Car Mechanic But I did work on a lot of Clio's that wasnt much fun thanks to some Variants been very funny designed.
I like how they all rust in the exact same spot it seems. Mine has rusted it's front fender mostly at the bottom front right wheel, but under the doors mine is the same as yours. Btw buy a sporty filter it will sound insane on full throttle but then be quiet rest of the time which is excellent. 4:30 TOTI KNOF it's meant to be pressed when you have your full lights on for example, and then you rotate the lights so they're in the off position and when you turn the car on the lights will be fully on but you don't have to rotate the thing for the lights. That doesn't make sense but I'm not typing it again
Hey man, would you like to join the discord server? I have another friend there who also has the button in his twongi, he tried what you said but it didn't work. Think you could explain it again to us?
@@Zakis_wonderful_world send link or something ? I can try, it's apparently what the button does but mine doesn't do that but I haven't tried it in any other twingo
At first when I was searching for my first car, my dad recomended me twingo 1, but when I saw how it looks like, I disliked it, but now that design is growing on me, and by the way, my first and current car is megane 1 hatchback lift is someone's wondering.
you should be hooning around. These have great intake sound when you open the air filter. MAD as these don't have a mass airflow sensor so no dampening. Great! Also the rear muffler is quite restrictive but without one it gets loud but in a fun way. Also don't fit giant wheels. These engines have little power and you'll feel any gram of added rotational mass that needs to be accelerated. Coil overs are good though. Cheap fun.
thank you for 1000s times for this channel to be in English (I assume as I only watched this), I'm staying for longer! So good to see you guys from Slovenia playing with cars (I think I needed some more stuff from Europe after all things I'm watching). Greetings from UK, but Slavic soul 😉
The mark one twingo is unironically one of my favourite cars, one of my dream cars and one of the cars that just makes me the happiest to be around and be in. It's just amazingly cute, insanely practical and I have a very deep attachment to that car cause my granny used to have one - and after she did my mom kept the car for about ten years.
"Who would ever want to own this weird little car?" It was my first car, I drove until it broke apart under my very cheeks, and I would do it all over again any day.
I remember 15 years ago these and also the ford KA's used to be extremely cheap. You could get them for as little as 60€. These cars were popular among teens as they used to drive them drunk and without a license. These cars were nicknamed as stunt man cars as drunk teens used to roll them over trying to recreate Tokyo drift on a gravel road.
Makes me miss mine a bit. I have two motorcycles and no need for a car, but it was hella fun to redline it all day everyday and still not go stupendously fast. When i bought my bike, it just sat there for weeks on end, becoming a sad little car. It ended up being the roadtrip car for a group of americans who discovered it's cheaper to buy a Twingo here, and sell it at the end of their trip, than to rent a car.
I'm an American who moved to Germany in 2019. We don't have these in the states. I never knew they existed, and yet even I want one or maybe two in my life. I feel like the Twingo is to cars what a scooter is to motorcycles. It's not for serious enthusiasts. It's for people who enjoy things and don't take things to seriously.
I have a tip for when the car doesn't start Before u check under the hood for a problem press the one button on the key twice and then try to starlit again. I don't know how and why it works but for 2 of my friends always do this when the twingos don't start
its a fun little car and despite being a renault (that got a bad reputation for reliability around here) they are solid cars. btw you made a error at the end you said blue green needs a lot of work done jsut like blue but you do that in the next episode. but green was already fixed? btw youtube main page showed me this and im happily surprised by the quality so gz on making homepage i geus.
WHO PULLED SEBASTIAN OUT ??? (my twingo's name is sebastian btw, i swaped the engine with a v8 thats pulled out of a mustang, and i twin turboed it, it now makes 800 horsepower)
As someone who lives in a country that does not have Renault Twingoes, and who also likes this car, it is great to see more information about this beautiful cute little car
I drove 17 different cars in my life and there is noothing you can compare TWINGO with. It is not the best, or the fastest, or whatever comes to anyones mind but it is cheap, simple and fun to drive. It does just what it was built to do, with smile on the face. And here we are almost 40 years later still talking about it. I miss days when you could by a new car like this. Today with all SUV mania and all the electronics that takes all fun of driveing the car. With this thing you could go to any local garage to fix it. Not the case with my VOLVO, great car but too complicated. And it is a car that you love it or you hate it. I am the one who will forever love it. Would love to see simple electrict version of it, without all unnecessary bulshit built in it.
Pretty much the only thing holding me back from making a silly Turbo Twingo is the fact that they're not available in my country and the cost to ship one over would have every European collectively rolling their eyes at me. It sure would be fun though, it wouldn't take much power to make them really fun
The 16v version pushed hard in second gear on some tight roads is really fun... But it lacks power and grip. Bought a Peugeot 206 S16 and it's not even comparable, the S16 pulls with a glorious 2L rumble and kicks out the backend on corner exits. Tough i had a great time "street racing" the twingo, if it had more power and grip it could be so amazing ! 185/55/R14 + 100hp or a K4M swap
My little brother got his first car recently and guess what it is “the red” and we’ve just put an universal air filter on it and have put it behind the hood scoop and it sounds amazing no joke
When I was a child for some reason I disliked the twingos... probably because of its humanoid face, it was frightening me. Growing up, a friend of mine had one and it was the first time I was able to escape the suburbia hellscape to go to the shop buy alcohol with her lol (I had no driving license). These were my first car rides with someone my age. With time it became reallt a symbol of those "one little French cars". I love the Twingo now because all the constructors do nowadays are dumb SUVs for the rich. I ride a bicycle to work. Small accessible cars would be preferable...
Seeing a Twingo activates the same part of my brain as seeing a puppy or a first gen. MX5. They just look so happy and innocent 🥺
I know exactly what you mean :)
nissan s-cargo and its siblings
@@johannesviljoen9656 nah, the S-cargo is the twingo's retarded cousin. a pao pao, a copen or a figaro maybe...
Only three cars can make me feel that, the Miata NA, the first gen Twingo and the Dodge Neon
Modern cars now look soulless
The masculine urge to buy matching twingos with your bro.

I like how they all rust in the exact same spot it seems. Mine has rusted it's front fender mostly at the bottom front right wheel, but under the doors mine is the same as yours. Btw buy a sporty filter it will sound insane on full throttle but then be quiet rest of the time which is excellent. 4:30 TOTI KNOF it's meant to be pressed when you have your full lights on for example, and then you rotate the lights so they're in the off position and when you turn the car on the lights will be fully on but you don't have to rotate the thing for the lights. That doesn't make sense but I'm not typing it again
Hey man, would you like to join the discord server? I have another friend there who also has the button in his twongi, he tried what you said but it didn't work. Think you could explain it again to us?
@@Zakis_wonderful_world send link or something ? I can try, it's apparently what the button does but mine doesn't do that but I haven't tried it in any other twingo
@@gaspermedved5803 I hope this works discord.gg/WYAzSAEVPE
At first when I was searching for my first car, my dad recomended me twingo 1, but when I saw how it looks like, I disliked it, but now that design is growing on me, and by the way, my first and current car is megane 1 hatchback lift is someone's wondering.
you should be hooning around.
These have great intake sound when you open the air filter. MAD as these don't have a mass airflow sensor so no dampening. Great!
Also the rear muffler is quite restrictive but without one it gets loud but in a fun way.
Also don't fit giant wheels. These engines have little power and you'll feel any gram of added rotational mass that needs to be accelerated.
Coil overs are good though. Cheap fun.
thank you for 1000s times for this channel to be in English (I assume as I only watched this), I'm staying for longer! So good to see you guys from Slovenia playing with cars (I think I needed some more stuff from Europe after all things I'm watching). Greetings from UK, but Slavic soul 😉
Yeah, no worries it's in english (for the most part, I put subtitles over interviews that are in slovene). Glad you like the video.
My mom had a pink Twingo. Good Times, good times.
The mark one twingo is unironically one of my favourite cars, one of my dream cars and one of the cars that just makes me the happiest to be around and be in. It's just amazingly cute, insanely practical and I have a very deep attachment to that car cause my granny used to have one - and after she did my mom kept the car for about ten years.
"Who would ever want to own this weird little car?"
It was my first car, I drove until it broke apart under my very cheeks, and I would do it all over again any day.
I remember 15 years ago these and also the ford KA's used to be extremely cheap. You could get them for as little as 60€. These cars were popular among teens as they used to drive them drunk and without a license. These cars were nicknamed as stunt man cars as drunk teens used to roll them over trying to recreate Tokyo drift on a gravel road.
Makes me miss mine a bit. I have two motorcycles and no need for a car, but it was hella fun to redline it all day everyday and still not go stupendously fast. When i bought my bike, it just sat there for weeks on end, becoming a sad little car.
It ended up being the roadtrip car for a group of americans who discovered it's cheaper to buy a Twingo here, and sell it at the end of their trip, than to rent a car.
Wow, these videos are wonderfully edited. Im sold.
I remember my family owning 2 twingos at one point, such a shame they sold them ;-;
NOW IM ON A HUNT TO FIND THE INITIALE PARIS TWINGO >:D
oooh the Initale Paris, that's the creme de la creme!
Yeee, i do have a 03 laguna initiale paris, its a really nice car. Still tho gotta get the twingo :3
Awesome purchase. I drove one from Switzerland to Finland with loud ass exhaust. Pure torture for one week and 2500km, but i still enjoyed it.
Damn, that's amazing.
I'm an American who moved to Germany in 2019. We don't have these in the states. I never knew they existed, and yet even I want one or maybe two in my life. I feel like the Twingo is to cars what a scooter is to motorcycles. It's not for serious enthusiasts. It's for people who enjoy things and don't take things to seriously.
I have a tip for when the car doesn't start
Before u check under the hood for a problem press the one button on the key twice and then try to starlit again. I don't know how and why it works but for 2 of my friends always do this when the twingos don't start
super high quality vid and with established quips youd only expect from a veteran, keep going!
its a fun little car and despite being a renault (that got a bad reputation for reliability around here) they are solid cars. btw you made a error at the end you said blue green needs a lot of work done jsut like blue but you do that in the next episode. but green was already fixed? btw youtube main page showed me this and im happily surprised by the quality so gz on making homepage i geus.
Thanks, I am actually quite surprised how many people actually like the car.
WHO PULLED SEBASTIAN OUT ??? (my twingo's name is sebastian btw, i swaped the engine with a v8 thats pulled out of a mustang, and i twin turboed it, it now makes 800 horsepower)
oh my god... this is my new fav. chanel :D
awesome content guys :D
Now I want a twingo... and I don't think I can phisically fit in one 😂
you'd be surprised how spacious it is, I have a friend that is 2m tall and fits into one
As someone who lives in a country that does not have Renault Twingoes, and who also likes this car, it is great to see more information about this beautiful cute little car
I drove 17 different cars in my life and there is noothing you can compare TWINGO with. It is not the best, or the fastest, or whatever comes to anyones mind but it is cheap, simple and fun to drive. It does just what it was built to do, with smile on the face. And here we are almost 40 years later still talking about it.
I miss days when you could by a new car like this. Today with all SUV mania and all the electronics that takes all fun of driveing the car. With this thing you could go to any local garage to fix it. Not the case with my VOLVO, great car but too complicated.
And it is a car that you love it or you hate it. I am the one who will forever love it.
Would love to see simple electrict version of it, without all unnecessary bulshit built in it.
It was a magical time when Ford Ka, Renault Twingo and Toyota Yaris all came out.
My grandmother and my grandfather had one each, i had one for two years till this march^^ Funny car but very loud inside
Easy choice to subscribe. I love the vibes here.
Thanks so much :)
Congratulations, you have successfully made me desperately want a little hon hon of my own.
But they never sold them here, so I can't have one. 😢
Glad I found your channel, really like your content!
Thanks for the kind words!
Wow finally yt recommended some good stuff! Great video!
this channel is a blessing
I keep saying, Twingo’s are going to be valuable collection cars soon, and every year it doesn’t happen. But soon, one day….
Now I really want a twingo
What a machine!
Fit/Jazz is the king of compacts but the Twingo is also very fun
Pretty much the only thing holding me back from making a silly Turbo Twingo is the fact that they're not available in my country and the cost to ship one over would have every European collectively rolling their eyes at me. It sure would be fun though, it wouldn't take much power to make them really fun
The 16v version pushed hard in second gear on some tight roads is really fun... But it lacks power and grip. Bought a Peugeot 206 S16 and it's not even comparable, the S16 pulls with a glorious 2L rumble and kicks out the backend on corner exits.
Tough i had a great time "street racing" the twingo, if it had more power and grip it could be so amazing ! 185/55/R14 + 100hp or a K4M swap

The button may be a modification from the previous owner for E85 starter/cold start, many do this on old cars.
I really appreciated all the Pokémon songs your have put in the video
truly one of the cars ever made XD subbed
twingos are the cutest tiny car we ever made so fun to drive, confort and cheap at the time
I really love this car, there's something about it man.
that car looks so fun to drive, I want one
we're making it out of gorenja vas with this one
HAHAHAHAHA, made my day
hello french here.
if i'm not being stupid, it's one of the rarest twingo model/edition (color, options, etc.).
nice catch enjoy :D
Best design feature on a Twingo is the hazard light switch right on top of the dash.
Looks like a sunburnt Diglet hiding.
That song Merci Twingo slaps
Well you got yourself a new subscriber this was awesome.
Yeah this is officially my new favorite channel. You blended my two favorite things together. Cars and video games.
I own all the different generations of twinge and agree the 1st gen is the best
My little brother got his first car recently and guess what it is “the red” and we’ve just put an universal air filter on it and have put it behind the hood scoop and it sounds amazing no joke
You gave them real care and love.
That was my first car :).
persona music fits perfect
The twingo is an cool cars, and also looks lika an happy frog hehe
When I was a child for some reason I disliked the twingos... probably because of its humanoid face, it was frightening me. Growing up, a friend of mine had one and it was the first time I was able to escape the suburbia hellscape to go to the shop buy alcohol with her lol (I had no driving license). These were my first car rides with someone my age. With time it became reallt a symbol of those "one little French cars". I love the Twingo now because all the constructors do nowadays are dumb SUVs for the rich. I ride a bicycle to work. Small accessible cars would be preferable...
Yeah, they tend to grow on people.
