It's fun, entertaining and does its job wonderfully, but I believe you're (notice that's different to your) confusing your gordini with perhaps something more expensive or exotic. The gordini lifts the interior from plain drab to reasonable but it's still the same layout. I've accepted it as a characteristic. Form before function.
You gave an opinion, as did I. Simply because mine doesn't conform with yours you seem to have become quite angry (perhaps its the use of
punctuation. I also split my post up into sentences and paragraphs?) I'm not out to make you feel bad about your car but my opinion (yes I have one) is that the interior is one of the worst in the segment and I bought the car for the way it drives, it's exterior charm and it's relatively low running costs. If you like the interior.... Good for you
Couldnt have said it better myself.

Everyone has their own opinion, and i like i said in the opening post to this page, nice comments please! and this guy is just slagging off renault and the twingo. I dont see the point in firstly buying the car, and then going on the forum if all you do is slag the car off, saying how bad it is blah blah. Cars these days are mainly status pieces, so a girl saying 'ive just bought a new fiat 500' is all about status, because the 500 and the mini are huge names in the car industry, are they the best?? no, but they are the biggest names (for smaller cars) If a girl puts all over fb and tells her friends, ive just bought a peugot 306, will anyone take any notice? no...will anyone be jealous? no... but (mainly girls) will be jealous if they buy a mini or a 500, because of what it is. Do most girls give a crap about performance? in general....no, they just want a car that 'looks cute', The performance of the abarth is great, i admit that, its slightly better than the twingo sport, but it looks like a little bug, it is a girly car, whereas this site is dedicated to a sporty/track car that is mainly for guys but can be for girls too! thats what is so great about it
Doesnt matter what it is, its still better than the interior in the Twingo :lol:
The women down your way must be a special breed. One that knows about the history of cars etc. And the 500 and Minis are by no means a "status symbol". Its a cheap European hatchback so is far from it :lol:
