Supermini group test taken to Wales and let loose in the Elan valley.

Might get myself a copy.

Bugger, looks like this was the May issue. Just nipped up to my Co-Op and they've only got the June 2009 issue. :(

Hey ho, I bought Top Gear's June magazine just out of interest and found a half page mention of the RS.

Few quotes from Top Gear on the RS Cup...

"Small but butch, it looks the part"

"...Twingo RS made a big impression."

"It's small, nippy and tight, like a cross between my skateboard, and my Mini (a real, old one) and it really shone on the classic British B-roads..."

"It's incredibly nimble and responsive."

Sounds good to me. :D

In the article for the Ralliart Colt Turbo, it says its a...

"left-field choice as a Twingo RenaultSport rival. Quick but lacks the finesse and sparkle of the Renault."

i got it and they love it. They rated the abarth better overall a few issues back but this time they have taken it all back and the twingo trumps the lot!
