[QUOTE="RSLove, post: 184760, member: 9042"] Hey there Twingo freaks, I currently own a Clio 197 and love it to bits, so much that I can't bring myself to use it for commuting on London roads anymore. I'm thinking of buying a small run around and of course being a lover of Renault Sport, the Twingo 133 is the obvious choice. My main questions are to do with the car being suitable as a daily... beyond the 197's cute looks, it has a highly tuned engine making it a rough car to drive around town. I'd like to save the 197 for weekend B-Road blasts and keep the mileage low as I plan on holding onto it for life. Naturally I want to go for a Twingo with cup pack so it's extra sharp and nimble. I recall JC's review saying that it handles bumps in the road quite well, I assume as it's so light. If anyone could confirm this is the case, or perhaps I should go with the standard suspension. As I'd like to use it as a daily I'd prefer it to still have A/C but could lvie without it. I'm also 6,4" so wondering if I'll even fit in there comfortably. I've read PH's buyers guide and seems like the usual things to look out for - suspension bushes, engine mount, dodgy gear changes. Also on the body the tailgate handle, water ingress into the cabin around the scuttle and the dash dispaly lights. If you have any suggestions or comments please share. Many thanks... [/QUOTE]
