The RENAULT TWINGO (2007-15) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 VVT 133 GORDINI is a sporty, three-door city car. Its compact size suits town streets and tight parking, while Gordini styling and a lively character set it apart from ordinary runabouts. It bridges everyday hatchbacks and pocket-sized hot hatches. mycarcheck.com has recorded 261 checks covering 78 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot of interest in this model. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of about £1,900, average recorded mileage of 79,000 miles and annual use of 4,000 miles. Cars checked had around four to five previous keepers on average, so assess each car’s history and condition individually. With its punchier 1.6-litre engine, the Gordini feels more engaging than basic Twingos and rivals such as the Fiat 500, but its rear seats and boot are better for occasional passengers than busy family duties. It suits singles, couples and enthusiasts seeking an affordable, characterful commuter.
