How ugly are you??

Let me put it this way - lighweight 12-14yr old age group boxing champion meets Muhammad Ali. Both are good in their class, but one of them will have their face destroyed with one punch, and it ain't the big guy.

Afraid 5 star rating is not like bigger cars, it can only be used to compare cars of similar size (same category). In a multicar accident this will be more likely a death trap (50% more likely to die in a multi-car collision in a small or micro car)!!!! So no if a large car performed like this in a multi car crash it would be lucky to get 2 stars!!!

Unfortunately because of weight, cost and economical concessions you cannot build in the crash protection afforded to bigger vehicles. Not forgetting laws of momentum that if you hit a bigger, larger, stronger object you will become the crumple zone and have more energy transferred to your mushy bone sack so also greater chance of greater injury.

For those critics about safety. I suggest you actually look into the technology that's gone into these. They are designed from the ground up to be safer than an average much larger car.

They bounce off brick walls depending on the angle. If rammed from the back, the engine drops into the ground and forces the energy into the ground.

Take a look. These are much safer than your average corsa etc.

Certain cars attract certain people. My opinion may be tainted having been hit by one of these cars whose owner treats it like a bumper car and thinks it ok to park in a space not big enough for a smart car and hit neigbouring cars. I always give them a wide berth in traffic , as their owners appear to drive like idiots too .

Can anyone find a deal on an auto? Only need 6k milage but don't mind more. The end of last quarter they were knocking about for £80 a month average over the term on a 3+23 deal

​comedy gold..

To save me the embarrassment of being seen in such an ugly car.

Pass me a balaclava or full face crash helmet with tinted visor.

Not the car, the closing impact thing you twonk.

Ideal for parking in town though - and the ones taking the mick out of it probably go by bus or use a huge 4x4 to drop one kid off at school OP.

Does it take AA or AAA batteries?

Also cheaper on a total basis to get this working out just over £101 net per month against the deal above at £113.95 net/month.

That was the mk1 car - this is a Twingo based car

​Except when you hit a stationary traffic

Great cheap way into a brand new commuter car. Some train passes cost more!

Well, that and Newton's third **** law.

Do you keep the car after the two years. What about insurance. What about tax. What happens if it breaks.

Let's just get all the normal completely stupid lease questions out of the way in one post.

No, you pay, included, it's under warranty.

It's actually high school physics that proves this to be boll***s. :-)

That was a fixed wall at 100mph vs two cars at 50mph.

In my cars you are hitting cars in both situations.

But a good point made..... There are no walls to hit on a motorway! :smiley:

Wasn't this tested on Mythbusters and found to be a load of old balls?

Bought 2 for the kids rooms.

I would personally use a larger car on the motorway as its will be safer if you have an accident.

This or the passion for £89pm though?

anyone has one? really interested if its ok for 40 miles motorway commute?

And it's almost theft proof.

Thanks I'll get a couple to put in the kids stockings.
