I put down a deposit on a Volvo V70. The one with 500.000 kilometers on the clock. Mechanically i t’s great, the interior is old and worn out. So the exact opposite of the Twingo, which has a fantastic interior but a shitty everythingelse.

Terrible pic, it’s blue, not green.

So that means I’m putting the Twingo up for sale. It’s a sad thing for me, to be honest, I love that thing. It’s my first car! That canvas sunroof is the best thing ever. The seat fabric and pattern, too.

But hey, if the Volvo doesn’t grab me like the Twingo did, I’ll just sell it and buy another Twingo. Next time with a 16valve engine and no rust... Canvas roof is obligatory. Don’t worry, I’ll make a farewell post and bitch about it some more.

If all goes well, within weeks I’ll be sitting in comfy heated seats with the AC on and a nice sounding 5 cyl LPG luxxhzgury car.

That will be an awesome step up comfort wise, also: interior space

Did the 16v engine and canvas top ever overlap on the Twingo, though? I sooo want one of the new RR ones!

Neat.  That's a fantastic color.

Growing up is tough, eh? :)

Nice choice.  Look forward to hearing more about the new sled.

I’m pretty sure it did. The very late ones had a glass electric roof option as well, but I prefer the canvas, tbh.

I like the third gen, the RR one. I think the new facelift (orange car) did it justice, with just the single lights and no extra foglights, it looks cute and happy again!

I can’t get away with these. My neighbour has one and it’s just wrong.

Mk1, three door, front engine, front wheel drive.

Mk2, and 2.5, three door, front engine, front wheel drive.

Mk3,FIVE door, REAR engine, REAR wheel drive.

I love the Mk2.

Those turbo 5 cylinders are fantastic engines. . .

. . .as long as they aren’t driving the massive front wheels only in a nearly 5,000 pound car (2,200 kg) like my mom’s XC90.

Good luck on the Volvo!

For reference, this is absolutely miserable to drive and less agile than most full-sized pickups.

I like Volvos and wagons, it’s a good move.

Weeelll sadly not a Turbo, this is an NA engine :/
But still pulls decently well and sounds good. Definitely a step-up from the Twingo.

I even found videos of muffler-deleted NA models like mine. I dare to say it sounds like a baby Gallardo, being half of a V10.

If it has the stock head unit look up the imiv or similar. Great little canbus hacks.
