Twingo RS, anyone?

Not to be dissuaded by past Renault ownership and the associated electrical problems, I'm considering a Twingo 133 to replace my Mazda 6. Anyone ever driven one, know what they're like?

 

In my case it'll be for mostly urban and suburban driving, so I'm fine with sacrificing some comfort for fun.

    Didn't think to check the tyres, but it's got 17s so they'd be fairly low profile alright. It's got the cup chassis I believe, so pretty stiff all around. Though not nearly as stiff as my Z... Since fitting the 18s and strut brace I'm actually concerned about body damage :lol:

     

    It's a 1600cc I4 with VVT, 133bhp. Revvy little thing and goes well in such a tiny car. They can manage 150/160 easy enough too.

    I had both the 1.8lt 16v and 2.0 Williams Clio's back in the day, great B road cars:thumbup: They were like go-carts :punk:

    Similar story with this really. Can't wait to get it!

    It was worth the prolonged wait! Could do with a bit more power, but probably the most fun car I've ever driven.
