From the archive: Twingo and rivals make small cars fun again
“The Micra claims third by the skin of its teeth. It’s the least roomy and has the worst ride. However, it has a terrific engine and an excellent gearbox and feels the most solidly screwed together.
“The Punto is the most refined new Fiat in years – possibly ever. It has an invigorating engine, a precise gearbox and well-judged steering; it rides and handles well; and it offers a spacious cabin. “The Twingo’s lack of pretension is refreshing and its innovative interior is immensely practical. It has a first-rate chassis and adequate performance. But it also has something special: in five years, the Punto will start to look passé; the Twingo will be viewed in the way one looks at a Beetle today.
