Renault Twingo Renaultsport (08 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 04 September 2008 Last Updated: 09 August 2010 The Renaultsport name has built up a strong reputation thanks to its performance versions of the Clio and Megane. The Twingo is the entry-level car into Renaultsport ownership and is designed to be an authentic hot hatch at an affordable price. It's powered by a 1.6-litre engine with a modest 133bhp but thanks to the Twingo's light weight it's impressively nippy and great fun to drive. It's certainly not as hardcore as its larger counterparts, however a Cup chassis is available which lowers the ride height and stiffens the suspension. Thanks to an affordable price tag and a low insurance rating, it's a good choice for younger drivers after a decent performance car that won't cost the earth to run. In 2010 Renault added the Twingo Gordini 133 to the range. The Gordini is powered by the same 133bhp 1.6-litre engine that features in the regular Renaultsport models but it is the design that sets this car apart. There's the go-faster stripes on the bonnet and tailgate and the interior receives the Gordini design treatment. 3.5 out of 5 Other Renault reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 4 out of 5 Equipment The Renaultsport Twingo comes well equipped with air conditioning, electric front windows, a CD stereo, 16-inch alloy wheels, stability control (ESP) which can be fully switched off, automatic headlamps, rain sensitive windscreen wipers, remote central locking, an alarm and immobiliser, a Renaultsport rev counter with gearchange reminder light, heated and electrically adjustable mirrors, front fog lights, sports seats plus a Renaultsport leather steering wheel and gear lever.
