Scotland’s top motoring journalists will be gathering at a
secret location tomorrow to drive one of Renault’s latest automotive innovations,
the Renault Twizy.
This electrically powered two-seater is now on sale from
£6,690, but the battery hire is extra, at around £45 per month. Also classed as
an extra – are doors!
Unless you live in sunny Monaco or Nice this is never going
to be an everyday family car, but for those on the daily commute it provides more
protection than a motor bike or pedal cycle and a full charge costing around £1
will be good for 60 miles. And who knows, it might even work out cheaper than
some season tickets for rail travel?
It’s only 2.34 metres
long and 1.24 metres wide with the passenger being carried directly behind the
driver sitting in tandem.
Apparently,
it’s quite nippy and a hoot to drive so we’ll find out tomorrow.
For the
drive to the secret location Renault have supplied a Megane Sport Tourer and
for the drive home again, I’ll have a Dacia Duster, the company’s new ‘budget’
brand. I’m really looking forward to the Dacia as it seems to provide a lot of
car for the money.
First
impressions will be put up over the weekend, but there are two rallies to
attend on Sunday, one on either side of the Border!
