I have a Twingo 1.2 and I love it but it is quite slow on the hills. I have so much fun in it around the b roads in Cornwall. Looking to get an RS to add a bit of power. 52 years old and still love the hot hatches, who needs a beast of a car to have fun!
I just got one I'm 49 feel like a kid lol lovely exhaust sound
Best review i've seen of the Twingo Rs. Thank you :)
You are very welcome.
Absolutely love your attitude and style of presentation man! Some much needed positivity and energy! Was happy to see that you’re still releasing videos.
Yeah I make videos when I can 👍
Great review you have a very likeable personality! Keep it up love the random bits of humour too aha
Love this video. Always wanted a classic mini but due to their prices these days combined with safety concerns being a family man, these are getting more and more appealing
Yeah they are good fun! The mk2 new mini JCW is very good if you like minis
Did you know that if you press Volume + and Volume - at the same time on the paddle behind the wheel, it puts the radio on silent mode !
Hello from a french Twingo RS owner ! Awesome video, I agree with everything you said (especially rear seats, even if I took them off, wich is incredibly easy !)
I did know about that but forgot to mention it in the video
tried taking out the front seats yet lol if not have fun :D
Nice vidéo and there is one word to qualify this car it’s just : fun!
I’ve got the newer face lift RS for my first car, love it.
Very lucky to have that as a 1st car I hope you enjoy it 👍👍
Never been a fan of French cars ever. But recently purchased one of these exactly the same and have to say its changed my opinion. Great little cars comfortable very practical economical. Little pocket rocket pretty little cars. Have to give Renault its dues they know how to build a hot hatch. Would love to have seen these with a turbo on them though may up to about 160 bhp? That would have changed the game ride quality is not for the easily offended harsh and rough but once your used to it really notice their character. Quirky little things with attitude that's the best part.
More videos of the TWINGO 😮😮😮😮😮❤
Terribly sorry but I've sold the car 😅. Trying to find time at the moment to make videos. Definitely got a few planned with some other French cars 👍
I just bought one and played nearly 5k for it hard to get a good one that's not been frashed, or on hpi,great little cars
Yeah they are bit of practical fun
@@DinosaurJuiceCars hello bud what is the difference between the cup SPORT cars and standard swingo in bhp,do you know
@@jameslatimer9036 there is no difference with the engine. All RS Twingos have the 1.6 with 130hp
Sir as an owner of 2 roadsters both notchback and coupe, and later fortwos i am considering this car now and i am a bit scared of french reliability. I am very happy you compared them and chose this car. I would like to buy one very soon as i am selling my 451. I owned Abarth and the cost of new clutch and turbo was too much to me. I hope this car is the best of all of those. :)
My one is for sale at the moment
If you are in the uk
If not in the UK. Good luck with your hunt it is a very fun hot hatch. The suspension can be too stiff for some on the cup version. As for reliability you should be ok if serviced. Coil packs can get wet so some people seal the scuttle panel.
@@DinosaurJuiceCars sorry not in the uk but thanks :) I can't wait to buy one
Excellent content, I previously owned at Twingo gt, 145hp, ktech tuned. Thinking about getting an RS???.
Very fun cars however not very reliable.
@@DinosaurJuiceCars what the RS??.
Yeah
Thinking of getting this as another turbo engine (2.0l T ecotec 300hp) did die on me.
Hey everyone!! I need your help !
I have found a Twingo RS 2011 with 30K km on the clock, and full service history. I really think of buying it but I am unsure about their reliability.
How reliable are these cars? Any known problems/issues ?
They have their problems, things like water in the ignition coils. However if you like it I would say go for it! Ps don't get the cup chassis it is too stiff!
Love the video! Btw how do you have your phone holder mounted? Is it on the windshield or somehow on the weird hole that there is behind the rpm clock.
My phone mount holder is in that weird hole behind the rpm gage. The camera used for filming the on road parts of this video was mounted to the windscreen.
@@DinosaurJuiceCars Is the holder custom made or you bought it? Im looking for a smart way to put my phone in the twingo. Could you send me a link?
@@hubkill I got it a long time ago for another car. It is a mount made for windscreens but does a good job at sticking to the plastic. On the phone side it is magnetic but I believe you could find a clip type if you don't like that style. Have a look on Amazon and you will probably find something that will do the job. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful I can't go out to take a picture at the moment because I am self isolating.
@@DinosaurJuiceCarsThank you very much, I know everything now. 👍
Great video, man! You definetly earned a sub. The 2nd gen Twingo indeed is a very versatile car. I am looking right now for one, not sure yet if I am going to get a regular one or a GT, or the RS. I've heard even the regular one has a great handling characteristic, but I am a bit skeptical about that. Do you have any experience with other Twingos w/o the Cup Chassis?
Thanks!
Also note that I don't need any asphalt tearer, I am driving a 1.0 VVTi Yaris, which, while very practical and reliable, has the handling characteristic of a sponge. So I wanted something with comparable power, but livelier chassis.
I have only had experience with my RS with a cup chassis. My recommendation is if you have a bad back don't get the cup and if you want good MPG don't get the RS. I am also very skeptical about the normal Twingos being anything more than a normal city car.
@@DinosaurJuiceCars Thanks, I'll probably look into the GT, it seems like the ultimate compromise.
Also I would like to try sthg. different, never had a forced induction car, and the turbocharged 1.2 without direct injection sounds like something quite solid. It's the same recipe and reason why the 1.4 T-Jet from FCA for example, has no carbon build-up.
@@drakvaclav826 if that doesn't float your boat the Fiat 500 twinair is fantastic fun.
@@DinosaurJuiceCars Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Hi mate. Looking at one of these as an option for my next car. Currently driving a 2007 Astra 1.6 and it’s not the best. Rattles loads and is a bit terrible really 😂. Any major issues that these twingos suffer with?? Also do some of them have cruise control because I use it in the Astra quite a bit. Cheers :)
I believe the facelift RS has cruise control. If you are doing a lot of motorway driving the lack of a sixth gear is quite annoying. And fuel economy isn't great. Other than that is a good car. You could try some of the owners clubs on Facebook or other platforms for more information as I have not had the car that long.
@@DinosaurJuiceCars okay will do cheers mate. I’m weighing up the options still on what to get. Seen the clio gt too. Got 6 gears and cruise. Only think that seems odd with them is there is barely any for sale anywhere.
@@tommyfennell8670 yeah odd. Good luck with it and if you like your sports cars as well as you hot hatchs stick around as i have lots of videos on their way from the latter part of this year onwards.
@@DinosaurJuiceCars oh nice. I’ve already subbed so I’ll make sure to keep an eye out :). Cheers mate
@@tommyfennell8670 thanks ☺️
Just bought one for 5k
I wiil take gt v
How is the audio quality in the twingo?
Not the best if I am honest
@@DinosaurJuiceCars but its at least okay? I have sx4 2009 and its really bad, but in megane 2010 it was a lot better. I wonder if it has the same audio as megane (i doubt)
@@simorx580 yeah it is ok but if you really like your music it would need a upgrade
@@DinosaurJuiceCars im not audiophile or some expert but if there is no cracking and rattling then its okay for me. Im still deciding to what my first car should be and there are not many options where I live 😂
I am looking to purchase a mint one of these with reasonable milage- would you look to sell?
not at the moment.
torque at low revs??😮😮
for a na high reving 1.6 defenly. but it is not like the new tubo cars
It’s funny how you hate the twingo now lol
I still love these things about it
