Renault Twingo - Mugged! - Craigdm
Took my daughter out on a motorway lesson (first time after passing her test) and somehow we ended up looking at new cars. Citreon c1 was on the way home, but then I saw a twingo in the garage opposite and ended up buying it. £6k brand new, but with the punto swooped in it works out at 70/month.
I pay more than that for my mobiles! But is it any good?

sounds like an expensive trip. how was the insurance for the twingo ? the C1 is group 1 or now in the new grouping range of 50, its a "2e"
The C1 is a toyota so come with the japanese reliability.
Lets hope the renault proves reliable, the twingo is very popular in France.
Good luck and lets hope she enjoys and looks after it

Ran a quick check through that fat welsh bloke and came out at £1200, which I'm told is very reasonable!

Fingers crossed the eu doesn't torpedo that with their equality ruling next week!

I loved the original version and think I would've bought one if they'd made a RHD.

You rarely see the words Toyota and Japanese reliability in the same sentence these days, do you?

My Yaris is ultra reliable and has never cost me a penny. Shes 11yrs old now. Maybe the last of the reliable Toyotas??
