Ride comfort is impressive, too, with only more bobbly surfaces causing the short-wheelbased car trouble.

Overall, the driving experience is fun in the way only a small and reasonably well powered car can be. The gear-change isn't brilliant, but that doesn't stop you enjoying yourself.

The interior is clever, with rear seats that slide and fold so you can opt for more boot space if you've just been shopping, or more passenger space if you're ferrying around friends and colleagues. However, the near-central digital speedo was not to our taste was, partly because its cowling was 'pointing' to a rear seat passenger.

Standard equipment includes alloy wheels, powered windows, front fog lights, aircon, four airbags, remote central locking, CD stereo and auto lights and wipers.

The Twingo is not quite as good as the Mini on costs, but it is quicker, and if you feel the Mini's become ubiquitous then the Twingo might just offer what you want as a staff retention and attraction business tool.
