For the owners of the Renault Twingo, it is naturally most apparent and especially annoying that their car manufacturer has sold them a car which consumes twice as much petrol as would be necessary.
Nevertheless, to reduce the weight of the Twingo, the original material in the front and rear axle, wheel suspension and seat structure was replaced by aluminium.
