No-frills thrills

Ford Fiesta, Renaultsport Twingo Cup,Suzuki Swift Sport (Issue 1,086)

auto express

With the new Renaultsport Twingo Cup, we wanted to see how it (and the Swift Sport) would compare to a run-of-the-mill version of our favourite supermini. The Ford Fiesta is good to drive, but in base level was it able to take on our pocket rockets? After a sprint around a twisty circuit and a full road test, our love for the Ford was undiminished, but we concluded that for budget thrills, a genuine hot hatch is the only way to go.
