The Daily Mirror Motoring columnist and Top Gear presenter believes moving the engine to the boot has transformed the French vehicle.

We agree with Hammond that “Different is good and the new Renault Twingo is certainly very different.” It has, for one thing, its engine in the back.

Hammond believes Renault’s decision to go rear–engined has reinvigorated the Twingo, citing a tight turning circle, impressive handling and saved space as just a few of the advantages gained from this.

 “It’ll turn in 8.59m thanks to the front wheels going through 45 degrees. You’ll really notice it when you’re parking. The Twingo is well behaved, even if you chuck it around. Meanwhile, inside the car you’re better off for space with a large storage area under the rear seats, bins in the front and rear doors.”

We have to agree. This stylish city car, with its array of personalities, can only make you happy. Its small and incredibly agile without losing practicality.

“The Twingo is a great little car that is a good candidate for my Car of the Year title, ” said Hammond.
