Those were the features. Now when it comes to thing it doesnât have, there is no air conditioning. No power steering (donât need one, it weights like 40kg on a bad day). No central locking. No heated seats. No steering wheel adjustment. But if we ignore all those, itâs a great little car. Small turning radius, I like.
I decided to put flowers in the background because itâs such a happy little car.
My guyâs most expensive car and it costs sub 2k Euros at the condition he bought it in.
If you have spare cash lying around for a nippy little car that makes jack shit power, isnât really comfortable but is plenty sensible and practical enough, go for it.
Even in a dull silver, the original Twingo was (and is) a very cute car. Itâs a pity no attempt was made to build an RHD version, presumably because Renault believed it to be too basic for the British Isles. Thankfully, it still holds up today as a cheap (and cheerful) runaround:
In light of the overwhelming popularity of SUVs and the shrinking market for affordable new cars of any kind, itâs high time we deserve more cars like this:
I have already discussed this in my thread here - you should check it out.
The biggest regret about the original Twingo, however, is that a hot version (with around 100 bhp or so) was never even on the drawing board at any point in its life - such a car could have easily given the Peugeot 106 GTI/Rallye and VW Lupo GTI a run for their money - but that would have to wait until the next generation of Twingo, and it turned out to be the only time a true high-performance version was available during the modelâs entire lifespan.
It is one of my favorite cars from the 90s (cheap and original compact cars hahaha). My neighbor has one in green and itâs beautiful. I have seen them in my area for 1000 euros, but they are poorly preserved. I want to have something fun, Iâm tired of my volvo S60 and I need to spend my money on more cars!
I want to have a daily car (my volvo) and some collectibles in my garage like the 205, twingo⌠any suggestions? Thanks!
If it makes you feel any better, Iâve done that myself while completely sober. Though in my defense, the coolant and washer fluid reservoirs were right next to each other and I didnât notice until I closed the cap.
As an American shitbox enthusiast, I must say Iâm quite jealous. I just love small, basic, low power cars that weigh nothing. And you guys have them in spades.
