The RENAULT TWINGO (2007-15) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2 TCE 100 GT is a compact, three-door city hatchback with a sportier character than many small runabouts. It suits busy streets and tight parking spaces, while its turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol engine gives it more lively performance than basic town-focused alternatives. It remains distinctive. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,171 look-ups covering 464 different VINs, a sample for this model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,000 and average recorded mileage of 92,000 miles; annual mileage is 5,000. The average number of previous keepers is about five, so check each car’s history and condition carefully. Compact and lively, the Twingo GT suits solo drivers, couples and commuters wanting an affordable second car, though rear access and space are less family-friendly than in five-door rivals. Playful beside many city cars, it is a fun alternative to the Fiat 500 or Toyota Aygo. Check records and condition.
