Category: Affordable Sports 4 out of 5

Summary of the Renault Twingo RenaultSport (2008-)

Price Range: £12,495 to £12,495

Sharp drive with Cup chassis, good ride without.

Drawbacks

Needs pricey but entertaining Cup chassis.

Verdict

Misses out on the charm of Fiat's 500 Abarth, but delivers with Cup's drive.

Renault Twingo Renaultsport Review

Comfort and Equipment3 out of 5

Even for a warm hatch there are a surprising number of optional extras. Climate control costs £275, curtain bags £200, Bluetooth is £350 and don't forget the all-important £650 Cup suspension package.

Then there is a long list of pricey ways to personalise your Twingo: the weirdest must be the bizarre option of ordering St George Cross wing badges - on a French car.

The Twingo, as we mentioned earlier, isn't massively comfortable. It's hard to find a decent driving position and the ride isn't wonderful if you order the Cup chassis. It's not serene either: on the motorway a 70mph cruise is also a busy 4,000rpm.
