I've been flipflopping between buying a daily hack for £2k, and then thinking of leasing and now come down to buying something a few years old as a sensible daily. Problem is, it's all well and good thinking of a 1.25l Fiesta but I know I'll just get bored after a few months. So I put my thoughts to something that is still very sensible but something that will enable me to have a little fun when I want to.

I went and had a look around at a 2 year old Renault Twingo 133 at the local Renault garage yesterday. It was the only garage where anybody acknowledged me at all that day (went past Ford and VW.. spent 20 minutes in each place checking out the used cars, and never even a "Hello.." from the salesmen) and have to say with the right wheel and paint combo, it looks pretty striking. Reasonable price too and there's a few starting to show up on the second hand market now..

Does anybody here own one? How have you found it? What sort of economy do you tend to get? How much does it cost to fill it up? Any big reliability problems?
