I want a Renault Twizy!

When you sort of got excited for EVs back on the 2020 (21?) roadtrip, this is not what I thought would end up happening :D

It makes my actions after the 2019 roadtrip seem completely boring and predictable. :p

>60 replies and the vehicle isn't even there yet. I love it. :)

And yes, I do want to drive it. I guess I need to include Switzerland in my Roadtrip plans.
 
So is this thing getting a generator/battery trailer so it can participate in roadtrips? :p

The contrast between the V10 Audi and the Twizy is going to be brilliant.

Nah, given the EV's ability to use 100% of the torque from 0 rpm, I bet the 0-5mph times are pretty similar. 😅
 
^ The Twizy is actually electronically restrained for the first few meters, otherwise you would get wheelspin, these things have to be idiot proof:

But in real life it's quick enough to easily keep up with traffic, which is the important part. You probably could live with the bimble-along discomfiture of a 45km/h Citroen Ami in a 50km/h zone, but the last third of my daily commute is a rush-hour 60km/h main road that feeds the nearby Autobahn. - During my Twizy test drive last week I was able to even filter into a 80km/h road without problems. - That moment was basically what won me over to get one. (y)

(Btw, this is all I'm doing since a few days, watching Twizy videos on Youtube). :ROFLMAO:

I wholeheartedly approve of this thread. I sat in one a few years ago, and went like "this is cool but I have no use for it".
I do know a guy who uses it much like you do, but his commute is a lot further, he charges it daily and has done for several years, without any issue...
 
I'm probably more excited than I should be about someone else's car purchase.

I really think we should go in business together, our silly car purchases combined would surely result in a profitable business.

Yes, hello. :mrgreen:

I'm starting the think the business would be a static museum displaying things that are broken or too expensive to run. Shame the Lipguna is no more as it would be a good fit. :p

*Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc* - Weekend is gone, Monday is gone. - Time is going. - And I like that. (y)

Altough I want this thing mainly for the daily commute, as soon as I get it on Friday, for sure it will be my transport to the AERO-EXPO in Friedrichshafen, a annual General Aviation exhibition of quite some magnitude. It's about a 30km (19mi) drive from my home to it, nicely doable both ways in one go in the Twizy, aided by the fact that about a third of the journey happends to be by parking it on the Lake Constanze car ferry. :ROFLMAO:

If my impatient postings in this thread are cause for you to roll your eyes, my apologies. - My inner 10yo self is writing them. :ROFLMAO:

I find it hilarious (and very wholesome) how the entirety of responses in here has basically been „awesome!!!!“. If I think back to a few years back, a bunch of FGers would’ve probably had a meltdown over this 🤣
