For The Twingo is a surprisingly mature small car, with plenty of scope for personalisation and space for four. The Renaultsport versions add extra zip.
Against The looks won’t be to all tastes, while the interior plastics appear and feel rather cheap. Curtain airbags cost extra on some models.

A mature and comfortable city car, with good interior space. Shame the basic versions aren't more exciting

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
< p>The engine line-up includes two 1.2-litre petrol engines: the entry-level unit gives reasonable pace and is suitable for city-dwellers, but the turbocharged TCE version packs some welcome extra punch. The Renaultsport version has a rev-hungry 1.6 with 131bhp, and as the name suggests, it delivers junior hot hatch pace.
The Twingo has a mature feel for a small car, thanks to a reasonably smooth ride. The base models suffer from obvious body roll, though, and the Twingo doesn’t grip as well as some rivals. The Renaultsport versions remedy that, and they’re a hoot on the open road. However, you do lose a little ride comfort.
