The Renault Kwid Thread (Kwid Lovers)

I saw an accident involving an Oxblood Kwid and an older model Silver Mazda 3. Both cars were crumpled like aluminium foil (frontal impact ~60km/h). Nobody was badly hurt luckily.
 
Pity if it's still the same... the new facelift looks pretty good inside and out. Definitely a car I WOULD HAVE recommended to people buying in this segment if it wasn't for the poor crumple zones
 
No thanks. That 25l Fuel tank will drive me up the wall. Dont want to fill up every 3 days.
 
Drove a loaner a few hundred meters then parked it off and got a lift. It was the pre facelift with 2500km. Brakes felt pap and clutch felt well worn. The kicker for me was no re circulate button for the climate control, so it’s always on outside air. I mean how much does a small plastic hinged vent cost.

It would have been helpful if they had also specified just WHICH type of 'automatic' transmission is fitted as well, using simple codes like I have indicated below:

AMT - Automated Manual Transmission
CVT - Constantly Variable Transmission
DCT - Dual Clutch Transmission
TC - Torque Converter
 
people so much want a car like a shrunken SUV thats made of cardboard.
hence it sells very well.
It's not that, it's the alternatives are way too expensive.
