In defence of the Twizy, it's basically a 4-wheel scooter with roof and
safety cage (without sides, so it doesn't have problems with misting up).
It has well engineered independent suspension and the handling is good.
It's cold, noisy and bumpy, just like a motorbike, but feels very quick,
controllable and is lots of fun to drive.
In terms of its capability and what you'd use it for (city and suburb
driving) it is similar to the Citicar. But I think it's better at its job
now than the C-Car was back then.
It should be; it was designed by Renault, who has vast amounts of
automotive experience and millions of dollars to spend on development.
In defense of the CitiCar, it was designed on a shoestring budget by
amateurs. It's amazing that they did as well as they did, with as little
as they had to work with! I guess it tapped into an unknown well of
interest in a truly small, inexpensive, simple car.
