Car reviews

Renault introduced the Twingo to UK buyers in 2007, providing an alternative to other small cars aimed at city drivers. It is actually the second-generation Twingo - the first only being offered for sale in left-hand drive in mainland Europe. The original won friends elsewhere for its excellent use of interior space and characterful styling. The second-generation model is less quirky than its predecessor, but promises more practicality and nippy engines. However, the Twingo isn't as fun to drive as many small cars and can't match the best city cars on fuel consumption. It also lacks refinement and feels like its been build to a budget.
