I guess someone has to buy it.

Look pretty horrible in the flesh to be honest. Think it's a clio underneath as well.

Still, amusing name and a good ice breaker when people ask you what you drive I suppose.

Renault have stopped selling them, I think...

Selling is perhaps the wrong word, they are no longer on sale.

Lots and lots of threads on here last year when renault slashed this car and others from its UK line up due to dwindling sales..

Still a funky looking car - There a 2 at work and the GF's mate has one aswell - Never been in one though.

Looks like a Midas that's mated with a Lotus Europa. And then eaten lots of pies.

They look very odd in the metal. Head-on they're Clio-esque, then you notice the roof line. I applaud Renault for attempting something different but I fear it's the answer to a question no-one asked.

But they are not rival cars?

They remind me of a CRX Del-Sol for the new millenium, only without a decent engine option.

Gayest roof ever.

And yes, they've stopped selling these now. Not that I expect them to go up in value on the used market (though I could be wrong!)

Different pricetag, completely different cars.

This one does not look odd. Seemed like a better looking Tigra to me. Clio underpinnings aren't bad at all.

I thought it was Twingo underpinnings, not Clio?

Current Twingo has the previous gen Clio underpinnings

It's similar to the Twingo RS underneath so should be a decent steer in 133bhp format.

SWMBO told me she liked them last month and TBH they don't seem too bad, plenty of toys, small, cheap to run, and a clever roof. Not that big or practical though and not a car that I'd be in a rush to own.

I think the looks are ok, stand-out-ish and cute. Not as good as the A110-50 concept though biggrin
