Small, cute, agile, practical and with seats that fold flat to form a kind of playground, plus a folding roof – the first Twingo, built in 1992, was a heartbreaker. The new edition is not only reminiscent of the design, it is the perfect implementation for the present and anything other than a success would be unusual. Or at least it’s a shame, because cars with character are good for the streetscape and lift the mood. At least with drivers, perhaps not so with the competition. Not every manufacturer wields the retro pen as virtuoso as the French.
