Please Explain

>>16662098

/o/ just likes anything that's a cute and affordable.

>>16662125
this may be a dumb question, but what about the car makes it cute?

BLUF yes, it is a meme.

It's not something that enjoys mainstream love, but we feel that as auto enthusiasts we see something in it that normies don't.
The normie judgment of the (old) Twingo is that it's a goofy car with a goofy name and you might drive it if it were the only thing cheap enough. They don't appreciate things like light weight and repairability.

>>16662194

thank you anon for the explanation

>>16662198
>>16662199
h'okay

>>16662194
It's so tiny and curvy. All the edges are soft, and the headlights are a nice round shape. The engine compartment barely extends forward from the front at all. It's so different from the usual aggressive, angry style of most cars.

Most cars are angry if you look at the face they make with the grill and the headlights, twingos are a smiley face.

Also a newfag.

What's "hon hon"? Where did that come from? I understand what honning is.. but is "hon hon" like how it talks or what?

merci twingo started why? because it's french?

It's honest about what it is, and manages to be happy and enjoyable about it.

>>16662828
Not too sure what the "hon hon" is either, and I don't know what honning is (is that the sound a French guy makes?)

As for the hon hon I found this YT video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIAG-95deQA
I think it's the horn?

Not sure about merci twingo


>>16662833
lol

>>16662918
yeah, so it must be the horn sound and I guess merci twingo is basically more of the same. clever. I'm a board tourist so always fun to hear other boards memes.

>>16662877
Yeah sure

>>16662877
Not like that but many engineers took inspiration from women's curves. Look at a GT40 and tell the engie wasn't thinking about a nice ass when molding those curves.

They also did that for the FR-S. The torque curve falls flat just like lolis.

Most of /o/ are euros I think (judging from when the posts die), and Eu has plenty of Twingos, I can go outside and see more than 3 in my street alone.


For me personally it was non existent until I came here.

But looking at it now its cool, I feel the car has a aliveness and happiness to it.

ALmost want to buy one, still might who knows.

That's wrong. I sent more than half of the plushies to the states or Canada.

How expensive would it be to import a Twingo? They're eligible now, right?

>>16665976
2018 to get one of the first 1993 ones but probably not a bad idea to already plan thing.
There was a anon who plans to import a couple but not sure if he's often in these threads and I don't know anything about costs

>>16665976
If you can find a '92, I guess. But they started to ramp up production closer to end of '92, so I guess you'll have to wait another year to get some early '93.

>>16666001
I've never ever seen a 1992 Twingo.

>>16666001
>>16665995
My math was off by 1, sorry. I'm just hoping they're not going for a gorillion dollars over in the EU. Import costs aside, I'd pay 3k for a really nice one.

>>16666019
3k should get you a really mint one but from the 2000 era.

spending 3k on a 1993 is almost impossible.
the 1993 ones I saw with sub 60k km usually went for under €1000 but this might change quickly when the classic car madness kicks in.

also, it's hard to find 1993 Twingos that aren't beaten to pulp since they're picture book examples of one-way cars. people really just buy them to use them up and not maintain them.

your only hope are grandma driven cars that stayed in the garage for most of those years.

>>16665357
Well I guess Euros dont want to pay the shipment.

As a previous owner of one of these miserable shitboxes, I do not see the appeal at all.
Sure you could've considered it reliable in the sense that the fucker just kept running, but it sure was not making any miracles for passing yearly inspections.
Pretty much everything that was able to break was either broken or in the process of.

Only good things going on for it was the abundance of parts due to the amount of crushed and junked twingos in Europe.
It was a shitbox that got you from A to B, maybe even back home but that's it and only as a stopgap solution till you could afford something better or couldn't afford even the twingo.

They were quite plenty in the early 00's, but then they suddenly phased out of existence, probably due to the cash 4 clunkers shit and because owners moved on to a better car.

They're basically the cheapest of the cheap, although as others have posted '93s are getting rare because they're viewed as disposable cars.

bearable but not pleasant, especially when going over 120kmh.

it's a great car, even for a longer trip but not if you do that often.

Seconding this, I own one and it's elder god-tier for the city, can park it just about anywhere and it has a really small turning radius, but if you frequently take long road trips I'd recommend something else. The gearbox isnt built highway speeds either, I'm in 5th at 60 although apparently you can get them to 180 flat and 200+ downhill.

Thanks for the quick reply guys. I don't want a polo because those are quite expensive (+insurance) if you want to get a decent one with aircon. Twingos on the other hand are cheap as dirt (even with a/c). I plan to take it out on small road trips from time to time (50-150 km) from where I'm studying right now.

>>16676043
There's always the option to just buy one and see for yourself I guess.
I mean, they're usually so cheap that you don't lose much money when you sell it again so maybe the car will be absolutely OK for you in terms of noise.
So I'd say if you don't have much of a choice anways, just go for it

>>16676043
Forgot to mention, try to get someone with you who knows about cars and get a Twingo that is well maintained.

They are cheap to fix and run but STILL if the car is run down to shit, even a cheap Twingo can amount to a couple hundreds to fix if there's literally everything broken and that's no fun when you just got the car

If you'll buy a twingo, I recommend investing in some in-ear headphones. Preferably with foam tips. They make highway driving much more enjoyable when you can listen to some music on spotify or whatever and the road noise gets mostly blocked.
