Anyone got a Twizy?

[Toaster Pilot]

They seem rare and I'm not even sure if Renault will still sell you a new one

Quite fancy the Twizy Cargo to run through my business as a company vehicle and use for station runs etc

Anyone got one and care to comment on it? Reliable? As fun as it looks?

[Toaster Pilot]

They aren't available in commercial form though

Station is only a few miles away and largely 30mph roads

Seems prohibitively expensive to insure - around 30% more than a Kangoo ZE!

Guessing there's a lot of people like you working for insurance underwriters hence the quotes

Yes I've owned one for 2 1/2 years.great fun and due to having solar panels on my house it's almost free to run .on average does 45miles to a charge.tuning box ups it's power and torque and top speed from 50 to 70 mph.
Only fly in the ointment is its a battery lease only .mines on a £30/ month deal.others are paying £45.
However there's one on eBay that the battery has been bought for £5000.
Gets more looks than a pink veyron.
Rumour has it that Renault may allow battery purchase before end of year.
Space frame chassis strong as a crash helmet.
Reliable except battery charger failed.replaced for free.4 year warranty .
Insurance £170 through admiral tax free .
My other car is a 3.0tdi Audi A5 Quattro which never gets used.i prefer the Twizy even in winter. Audi is for long distance driving
