► Month four with the Renault Twingo
► DIY touchscreen helps save money
► No complaints, you get what you pay for
One of the several ways Renault saved money with the £10k Twingo was to give it a DIY touchscreen, in the form of a clip-on phone mount and a free ‘R&Go’ app. The app syncs with your car to do phonecalls and music and extras such as a digital rev counter. It’s not perfect – the mount position means your phone obscures the radio; and it makes for a fiddly sat-nav on the move. But to whinge about that feels a bit like flying Ryanair and then complaining when they don’t hand out hot towels – you get what you pay for.
