What a strange fetish

I saw that in prague and when I got back tried to find it in the magazine and couldn't! I wanted to post it up Everyone always has trouble getting in my car, at least I'm fairly confident I won't get car jacked at traffic lights :lol:

Haha thats ace ! Everyone has trouble trying to open the doors on mine ... its not rocket science but funny to watch

Yeah I've noticed the door handles catch a few people out yet they are a good design.

I like the fact that they they seem to be a hommage to the Renault 5 and I think it gives the car character.

 

[maggi200]

Although Alex i suspect the reason they are as they are is more a cost cutting exercise more than they are to add character...!

Strange lol... but glad they're fans of the quirky Twingo door handles. It catches many people out.
I love it when I give lifts to people and they're stood by the passenger door trying to work out how to open it :L

My old Citroen AX GT had a similar set-up, so it must be a French thing. :lol:

And, FWIW, it will also give a marginal improvement to the aerodynamics without a big ugly handle sticking out into the airflow. :idea:

It's num. 5 not 4 -- it could be higher..

 

[maggi200]

The aerodynamic benefit from the handle is not likely to come near to offsetting the drag from the rather slabbish front end :lol:
