The mustard colour was a lovely mustardy colour, and not that terrible pus yellow. Do you think the Twingo looks like a little hamster? It is so cute! Here is another cute car we saw in Dover last year. Upper Beagle is a magical place, very far away from other places. They say that the last Unicorn to survive in the whole wild world, lived in Upper Beagle. I do miss it there! I even miss the local mad woman with her onions, and the lady from the vegetable shop that was an expert in the bionic man. Maybe one day I shall return there, I just don't know! © Furry x    Report

Hi Furry Yes i have seen a couple with eyelashes on but mines black and i dont think they would suit her, some nice bright yellow sun flowers perhaps, or some designer bubbles down the side...  I still cant make my mind up but i am really enjoying driving her.  I dont think any one else in this area has one so its a little bit of a novelty to friends and neighbours at the moment. Thanks for all the comments i will post a picture when i have finally decided   Judith XX    Report

I've driven a 2002 Twingo in the UK for about 3 1/2 years now, and I love it.  No problems with servicing and repairs, Renaults dealers, although expensive, can do all the work. Other than general wear and tear, and having to recently replace the speedo sensor in the gearbox, it's been very reliable.  It's flown through the last two MOT's without any failures. I can't imagine driving any other car now, although I would only consider buying the "Classic" model rather than the new one! And one of my collegues recently said that it looked like a hamster, or a guinea pig!    Report

Hello All John the new twingo has not got the same ......... somthing that the old ones have, of course it got beaten by a panda. Twingoman I agree classic over not any day.  My OH does all my serviceng for me so no prob, he has put me an Miles and hour speedo in new tyres, mats, lights....  i could go on he has decided that he quite likes my little twingo as well.  He keeps asking ot borrow it any way  The other thing I have found really good is that I dont have to go to the petrol station every 10 mins which with the current cost of fuel is a bonus.

As you'll see from the avatar I do classic, but having driven an old twingo for a weekend recently it felt like trying to run in clogs, my super old shopping 204 would thrash it. But, I have to think about replacing that before I loose all my teeth. Looking around the Twingo's competition, the panda is quicker and more economical and the super new classic F500 is nearly 3 secs a lap quicker again, (put another way that could be first to the last parking space at the market!)  The figures don't tell everything, roadholding for example, and me thinks the C2 with a bigger engine would be quieter as well as less stressed, (wasps in a jamjar tingo to mind) not to mention more economical on fuel and maybe better purchase discount? As for build quality, the C2 is made by the same factory as the Toyota Aygo & Peugeot. Anybody any experience of looking at this range in France?                   Tingo            Panda         F500            C2 lucre           9995             9995         10,700         10,495 Juice           47.8                50              44.8             50.4  squirt         9.5/117         9.2/115      10.2/113      10.6/120    Report
