For The Twingo handles brilliantly, looks cool and costs pocket money to buy and run.
Against If you're after cheap fun, it gets no better than this. Fast, fun and funky.
A mature and comfortable city car, with good interior space. Shame it isn't more exciting
The Renault Twingo comes in two very distinct flavours depending on which version you go for. The 1.2 Dynamique is your conventional city car - it has a modestly-powered 1.2-litre petrol engine, and although it rides quite nicely and is fairly easy to manoeuvre around town, it can’t match the dynamic abilities of the best city cars.
The Renaultsport version is a completely different beast. With a 1.6-litre petrol engine that gives 131bhp and thrives on lots of revs, the car has a frenetic, gung-ho feel. The handling contributes to that, too, because it’s crisp, controlled and beautifully balanced. So, the Renaultsport is one of the best junior hot hatches you can buy, and add the optional Cup pack, which brings stiffer, lower suspension, it gets even better.
