New Twingo looks ace.



Sliding rear seats like the Inster so even lanky rear passengers (presenter is 6'5") can have room, at the expense of some boot space.

Awesome. Would love to see a resurgence of the small car. Renault are nailing it at the mo.

We seriously considered importing a series1 Twingo for mrs mik, but LHD was a step too far for her.

Series2 and later didn't have anywhere near the same funky-factor in the styling. Like series 1 Ka vs later fuglies.

That looks great though

Looks

I dont get why small cars have to be 5 door these days though. They are rarely used 4 up and access all round is compromised with short doors and apertures as is visibility with a b post in front of my shoulders. They also look better as 3 doors and must be cheaper to build!

May be a tall fat person problem though?

Europeans love them. I think the UK is an outlier in terms of having a good market for 3dr versions.

Short doors make life so much easier in car parks though.

Genuinely the biggest realworld advantage the M135i (five door) had over the E46 and the E86 - just not having to think about parking space separation/positioning that much.

meh, i hate the look of 4/5 doors - i always chose 2/3 for my cars.
