[QUOTE="titicaca, post: 182023, member: 3782"] I have had a Twingo Gordini 133 (non cup) for two and half years and really loved it. Recently I had the opportunity to buy a 2011 Clio 200 Gordini (non cup) which I thought would be an excellent replacement for the 133. I was hoping it would have all of the twingo's character with better motorway manners and being generally better all round. Now that I have the 200 I am a bit disappointed. Whilst it feels like a much better car quality wise (in a VW kind of way) and is more comfortable and quieter on the motorway, it does not feel to have the fun loving character of the 133. The 200 actually feels slower to pick up in town and seems to have less torque at low revs (it is definitely quicker when it picks up, but way pass the speed limit). I have read online that the 200 lacks torque low down, but I just thought it would be similar to the 133. I have never read any comparison between the way a 133 drives when compared to the 200, other then they both have good reviews independently. I am getting the 200 a service tomorrow which may sort it. But in the mean time, had anyone driven a 133 and 200 side to side and had similar feelings? I am just quite glad I have not traded the 133 in, as at the current rate I may just keep it. [/QUOTE]
