Twizy wins Stuff magazine 2012 gadget award

Wow, the Renault Twizy has come out on top and won a Stuff magazine 2012 gadget award. Stuff, trusted authority on all things gadget, gear, and technology related, recently posted the results of all the winners in each gadget/tech category and voted the Twizy as top Tech Transport for 2012. Their Awards celebrate the best-performing hardware, software and accessories to have emerged in the previous 12 months. The Tech Transport category was hotly contested with competition from cars, pushbikes and motorbikes.

Stuff said, “The Twizy might well be the answer to a question that very few people were asking. But it’s an answer that’s delivered in such a charming, unusual way that it defrosts the hearts of all who see it. Drive it and that slightly condescending ‘aww’ turns into an excited ‘ooh’ as you realise how much of an urban weapon the Twizy really is – instant-on electric torque and a wheel at each corner combine to make every traffic gap an attainable goal. It’s brilliant.”

Renault's Twizy is the first fully electric urban compact two-seater and blends bold design and polished styling with being incredibly fun and easy to drive – especially in busy cities, where it can nip around and squeeze into the tightest spaces.

Best of all, Renault Twizy comes with no road tax, costs only around £1 to fully charge and prices start from £6,690 plus a monthly battery lease cost of £45 including VAT for a 36 month/4,500 miles per year agreement. No wonder it came out as top tech for this year.
