    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....

      Have you ever watched a positive british review on a french ?
      Enough said.
      If you want to watch something more balanced watch a german review in english.

      ***** pretty sure that even 120 bhp will do. just need to get the back end loose!

    • @ScottZ370
      @ScottZ370 10 лет назад

      Ioanides001 more power on such a short rwd wheelbase and rear engined will be a deathtrap, Porsche struggled with a long wheelbase for years! Unless Renault do some clever rear wheel steering but thats unlikely

    • @Ioanides001
      @Ioanides001 10 лет назад

    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.

    First generation for this new platform,,, Hopefully it will not be ditched and a second improved generation will see its light with improved features such as a better drive, slightly improved engines, and some front seats that let's the back passenger see more ahead...

    What do you guys think?

  • @mymingyen

  • @samih5321
    @samih5321 9 лет назад

    I'm considering to buy one of these or Skoda fabia 1.2 ... the only reason i like this car is the look but im not sure about the practicality as it's only 4 seats comparing to Skoda fabia.. also I'm not sure about the engine been in the back if it will make any difference .
    which one would you commander for a first time buyer .

    any tips or trick?

    According to me, a small car with rear-mointed engine wins everything in my book.

    I remember Fiat 126 Bis , which had small engine under boot , but it has spare wheel and usable storage in the front . I would like to have some place for spare wheel .

    • @etbadaboum
      @etbadaboum 9 лет назад

      Safety rules are more stringent. Also space inside is used for people, not boot IMHO.

    • @Mladjasmilic
      @Mladjasmilic 9 лет назад

      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 .

    • @etbadaboum

      Mladen Milić Humm Twingo is made for city not high-speed deer hunting on highway during the night.
      Joke aside, this car sets a record in terms of inside space and modularity.

    • @Mladjasmilic
      @Mladjasmilic 9 лет назад

  • @joshbacon8241

    This video was uploaded on *9/11.* Matt said the Twingo is like a *911* due to the position of the engine and the rear wheel drive. Coincidence?

    10.8 seconds to 60mph is "alright" for a city car? Wow... I have a supermini (10yo Clio 1.2 16v) that I tested as 14 secs to 60.

    I don't know what happened with french companies. They ALL started applying those sh*tty pop-up rear windows in almost all their new cars...
    WTF?? NOBODY LIKES THOSE REAR WINDOWS!!! :O
    (all the rest in the Twingo seems nice, it's a city car, you can't expect it to be "a Porsche 911" of course xD)

    • @fundiver198
      @fundiver198 10 лет назад +8

      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.

    • @cjp9596
      @cjp9596 10 лет назад +3

      Volkswagen do the same with the Up/Mii/Citigo triplets. Definitely not exclusive to 'French companies', and definitely not something they've only just started doing.

    • @ScottZ370
      @ScottZ370 10 лет назад +4

      people with these cars mostly never have people in the back, so its a good compromise for cheapness, lightness and still able to open it

    So basically, this is a slap to the face to all those idiotic RWD-only fanboys who claim that RWD automatically makes a car fun... Now, I'm not knocking on the little Twingo (because who cares if a 70HP hatch isn't exactly the Ferrari of small cars?), but it does prove a point...

    I geuss they finnaly TRIED to listen to the original twingo drivers , the room inside is a + compared to the size on the outside they finnaly got it close to normal size , the space you can make of course should be a standard, but already 2 small things i noticed what i dont like , 1 the button for the roof... 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

    • @fundiver198
      @fundiver198 10 лет назад +2

      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.

      I recognize the same door handles and window/mirror switchgear from my 2005 Renault Modus. Back then, they were rumoured to come from the skip outside Fiat's QC failures department and a known weakness (my driver's window takes several presses to fully up/down). I wonder how many are working well after 5 years now?

      saddist1Gtown What part of "first" you don't understand. :D The only thing the first Fiat 500 has incomen with the new Twingo is rear engine rwd and the concept wasn't new back then either. The first RRWD since 40 years that's for sure. =)
