The Renault Kwid Thread (Kwid Lovers)

Something I only picked up today was that its only got 3 wheel nuts. Now I've driven quirky cars before and love it, but never something that even cuts on the most basics like number of wheel nuts.

The famous and legendary 1955 Citroen D series had one wheel nut and some are still on the road..
 
"The Renault Kwid Dynamique is priced from R129 900 and is sold with a 5-year/150 000 km warranty and a 6-year anti-corrosion warranty. To sweeten the deal, Renault is also offering 12-month comprehensive insurance cover upon purchasing the Kwid, which should put some money back into your pocket.

The Kwid Expression is priced at R119 900 and excludes fog lights and the MediaNav multimedia system."

Older Renaults also had just 3 wheel nuts. Who said that 4 nuts is the standard?
Smart cars also had 3.

It looks as if it has very high ground clearance.

Would be perfect for zipping around in the city and going over high speedbumps. :)
