Fifth Gear Web TV -- Renault Twizy Review

It's the strangest looking car we've ever tested on Web TV and if Renault is to be believed, it's the most revolutionary too: A two seater, four wheeled city car that's barely bigger than a motorcycle. Graham has been to France to find out if the Twizy could be the future of inner city motoring.

@HoccyB

you can buy the twizy with doors too so its no prob in winter ;D

[SuperFlamethrower1]

If it had full doors on it and maybe a radio and air conditioning then id be happy to buy one of these to nip to the shops in,looks sooo fun! :)

[Fanshawgate]

Very tempted and love the looks. However I used to have a Mini Moke with a roof and no doors. When it rained I got soaked quick time and that will also happen to Twizy drivers without a decent door.. If you buy one as the door situation appears to stand you are going to have to carry scooter waterproofs. That seems to be a bit daft to me. Why not a weatherproof door?.

I think I found my first car :)

@b57ecv Eithergo Renault's way and pay 50 quid per month like an iphone, or go Nissan's way and pay the extra 2 - 4 grand to own the battery. Now an 11,000 quid city car like this would be hopeless. The battery lease is supposed to be like an insurance, Renault would take care of anything that goes wrong with it. In a nutshell you lease the battery so the cost price would be more than competible. Also have you seen a golf cart? It's biased to compare this to a golf cart!

[burnzy3210]

and wont it be just fabulous to come back and find a tramp sleeping in it or some pikey has nicked the steering wheel

[b57ecv]

This stuped video forgets to tell you that you have to lease the battery at around fifty quid a month, think thats just about fucked it for this over priced golf cart.

[happylambs]

I've gotta get one! I can then justify the Ford F250 as a second car!

@toyotaprius79 ya it is pretty stylish...for a golf cart

[toyotaprius79]

@wolfdudeman Golf carts don't go 49mph or last 60 miles. And the twizy is stylish.
