    I love how there are many reviews from different countries and in all of them you can hear "will it drift - no" and then there is Poland "Swingo Backwards & Tandem DRIFTING!" xdddd

      ​@antoniocastano97 it is possible if you modify it, bigger turbo, remove the traction control, different setup, maybe shittier tyres on the back and good tyres on the front will help 😅

    I think some people are missing the point, let's not forget its a city car, a rear engined, rear wheel drive city car with a 0-60 time of 9 and a half seconds and a stupidly large amount of optional space, all on top of the fact it has a much smaller turning circle as the wheels have more room because there's no engine there doesn't sound half bad to me. I personally think it looks great too so in my eyes this thing is amazing.

      Boneless Jack, I've owned a Twingo GT for six months now (white with optional decals) and I can highly recommend it as a fairly quick and very practical warm hatch that does around 45 mpg provided that you don't rev it flat out all the time . Cabin and boot space are fine as is the elevated driving position that gives great all round visibility. Handling is good but ride is a bit firm. Although these are used as entry level racing cars on the continent, the UK press's lukewarm response has managed to kill off sales of the Twingo GT in this country and they are now not listed at all by Renault UK although three are still recorded as being in stock (at a discount?) according to their website.

    i think people are missing the point on this one its not supposed to be a hot hatch - its a sport styled and slightly sport tuned city car ?
    enjoyable and very well presented review, presenter reminds me of richard hammond a bit

    Why won’t they make a proper RenaultSport Twingo? The last gen one had 135bhp, which still isn’t enough. The smart forfour brabus has the same problem. If they made a manual one of these cars with 150bhp+ I’d get one as a daily.

      Christopher O'Grady the last Twingo RS was plenty fast enough, only lacked power once you were doing over 120 on the motorway, which isn’t allowed anyway.

    • @ryanmcelroy5373
      @ryanmcelroy5373 7 років тому +8

      Not an awful lot really, just the battery, fluid bottles and some wiring. It doesn't actually open like a normal bonnet; instead you have to sort of unlock various plastic parts from outside the car and it then slides forward so you can access what's underneath. A whole lot of hassle for what wouldn't have been very interesting on camera!

      The ESP I heard can be disconnected from the fuse box, and the revcounter is built into the R&Go system which will be displayed on the screen.

    • @ast5515
      @ast5515 7 років тому +2

      The ESP can be switched off by removing the fuse on any car. But that doesn't really make it OK. This is supposed to be the top of the line sporty variant.
      How can you put a revcounter on a display somewhere out of sight on a car like this?

    • @elitesennabubble
      @elitesennabubble Рік тому

      @ast5515 I have a video to wire an aftermarket rev counter too. If you pull the fuse, you lose your ABS too. Also the fuse you have to pull is hidden in a box under the front bonnet and its hard to get to and hard to open. With my way you can clear the dash lights as well when you disable ASR
