Go for it! Hello by the way! They are great little cars and I`ll be surprised if you are disappointed. Ride quality isn`t too bad and that`s coming from someone who owns a cup version and who changed from a 172. Yes it`s firm but that`s why you buy a cup. I actually prefer the ride to that of the 172. You can always buy one with the non cup chassis. I get about 35 mpg from mine but I don`t do many miles because I want to keep mine nice and the miles low. Power is a bit down compared to the 2ltr in the Clio but not enough to bother. You`ll overtake fine but Renaultsports have never been about out and out speed in a straight line but take one for a trip on a twisty B road and that`s when you`ll really start to smile. Honestly speaking, I don`t regret changing my Clio for the Twingo. They are like Go Karts! Take one for a test drive! and see how you feel.
