You don't have a lot of time left. It's already getting hard to find a good deal on a good not rusted one.

I had one in the early 00s and haven't missed those days ever since I got rid of it.
Absolute shitheap and one of the most unreliable cars I've ever had.
The little electronics it had just weren't up to the task of surviving Finnish winters.
I cracked 2 displays during the winter before I gave up and figured it wasn't worth it trying to keep it "pristine".

Getting it running bellow freezing was also a lot of effort.

Of course shitposts here are part of the reason. Normies will never know or acknowledge it, but a substantial amount of modern philosophy and culture originates here. It's why /pol/ is so overtly spammed by zogbots. You see it here too with the incessant divide and conquer ev/trugg/troll threads, because freedom of transportation is a bad thing for any totalitarian government.

idk anything about electric cars. is this a really bad thing?
>>
>>29091365
It means that when you use quick charging the battery will get hot and throttle further charging.
If you only drive around town and charge with AC it shouldn't make a difference but long trips with multiple charging stops can be a problem in hot weather.
>>
>>29088745
You can find one anywhere between 1k-2k€ around France in good condition. Just import the fucker.

not him but you guys looked at the falling apart ones that were used as daily shitboxes for decades.
shiny relatively low mileage well maintained ones have increased 4x since corona.
the ones you could have fetched for 500 euros are now 2000.
1993-94 low mileage ones without rust are easily 5-6k

in a real totalitarian scenario in the US, what makes you think they arent just going to set up checkpoints at state borders? doesnt matter if you have a car or a train ticket at that point.

They were sold in small numbers through Nissan dealers in Japan, you might be able to get one from there for cheaper than shipping it all the way from Europe.
No RHD version though.
>>
>>29088745
/o/ was wrong because twingos are rare in america and is still wrong because twingos were never common enough in america to be "classics" among anglos now despite being a meme that leaked from 4chan

and in places that had twingos, they were lovable cheap shitboxes in high demand and are the same now. the NA equivalent would be the Toyota Echo and Yaris, in the UK idk but probably not something french

OG Twingo is too ugly for me, are the following gens any good?

>>29094919
Mk2 is basically a short wheelbase mk2 Clio with some more modern engines and electronics, so there's more performance-oriented aftermarket for it and bigger engine swaps are a much more bolt-in affair (putting a 2.0T in a mk2 GT is surprisingly easy).
Mk3 is a Smart ForFour, so it's rear-engined RWD. Traction control can't be turned off and is very invasive, but you can pull the ABS fuse.
>>
>>29088755
Kind of like the Smart car but newer.
Kinda funky.

Pity they never made a proper RS version of the Gen3. The GT is about 75% of the way there, but lacks the final commitment.
>>
>>29088745
I feel bad for anybody that doesn't have a Twingo already, they're so much fun to drive. My trans girlfriend and I put our vibrators in and drive around town to see who cums first, and the loser has to top when we get home.
>>
>>29104755
Honestly, it's one of the few cars around me that's RWD and consistently around 10k. You get this or an MG F with (naturally) much higher mileage, or a BMW/Merc that's also higher mileage and suspiciously cheap at that price point.
>not even a Miata?!
There's *one* near me at that price, and it's an NC (not bad but still)

Many such cases
>>
>>29116829
You're right even though even at low performance RWD usually gets you going smoother at rainy days while FWD usually desperately struggles for grip in the one or two seconds. No big deal of course tho
