I’ve passed one of these a few times outside the local Renault dealer, the Mobilize Duo, basically the replacement for the Twizy. Apparently the higher power version will be coming to the UK.

Another funny thing is, they can’t call the milk alternatives milk, because milk comes from animals. And coconuts. They get to use milk, the rest don’t.

We use such an odd mix of units, as this flow chart shows. My dad has his climate controls set to °F, because it makes more sense to him.

The A4 volume knob is underrated. Positioned passenger side, but easily reached by the driver. Can also be used to skip track, mute or reset the infotainment.

Went with 17s on both these cars, from 18” in the first case and 19” in the second. Vast improvement.
