Renault Twingo RS Test drive since 2008 Hatchback

Parisian

This machine has not yet been sold in Russia, so Vladimir Solovyov went to Paris on a date with it. Photo by the author.
New Twingo changed her predecessor on the conveyor last summer. Twingo of the previous generation can be classified as long -livers: its sales began in 1993, and it parted in 14 years in Europe with a circulation of 2.4 million copies.
Bulbed Parisian streets are a native element for Twingo, which continued the tradition of convenient compact city cars. For the sake of passive safety, the front overhang lengthened by 170 mm, but this almost did not affect the convenience of parking. In my car in the version of the express there are no rear parking sensors, therefore, approaching the cafe, I rely only on myself. But even without parking, it is almost impossible to make a mistake - the bumper immediately behind the rear window.
In the interior, everything is very concise, economical and original. All side devices (digital) are located in the middle of the front panel. The exception is only the arrow a tachometer that sheltered immediately behind the steering column. The steering wheel moves only in the vertical plane - it will not be possible to adjust to the comfort of comfortable. The machine is designed for four adults: in it there are three separate chairs in addition to the driver’s, and each moves along and has an adjustable back. I note that comfortable chairs are able to accept not only fragile French women, but a solid man will also be comfortable.
Having twisted around the French capital, I did not feel any tension in communication with the new Parisian. Excellent visibility, it is controlled easily and clearly, frishers, the transfers are turned on clearly, but the switching lever still has the ability to go back and forth when recruiting speed and braking by the engine. But this is, apparently, the generic property of all Renault with a mechanical transmission, which, however, does not affect comfort.
In parting, I promised to somehow show her Moscow. With such external data and Twingo's abilities, here it has the right to count on success. It seemed that she did not mind. Does everything in life depend on mutual sympathy?
