Toyota Aygo

I am a busy mum of 2 & I have a 2007 Aygo Black. For financial reasons I changed my much loved Yaris for this smaller model which saved around £80 per month on the PCP (Personal Contract Purchase), cheaper road tax, better fuel economy, cheaper insurance & running costs. My main concern was reducing to only 4 seats & smaller boot, but in fact - with a bit of planning - have not found this a problem at all. Whilst small, the boot is deep; on a permanent basis I keep an umbrella folding pushchair, kites, football, & picnic rug in it & still manage to get shopping bags in too. Admittedly if I do a big supermarket shop I need to use one of the back ...  Read the complete review

I have just started to test drive some small cars. I am in the market for a new one after my Saxo has finally fallen to pieces. The high repair bills are starting to mount up and so having looked at cars on the internet for a while I have finally started to take some action. The first car I have test driven is the beautifully styled Toyota Aygo. I was attracted to the car because of the price. The basic spec is just £6400. When I stepped into the car the interior looks quality. Perfectly built the dashboard has all the mod cons but nothing too flashy. The speedometer looks sporty and the gear lever looks good. I found there was plenty of room for ...  Read the complete review

Our Aygo is 3.5 years old with 33,000 miles. Just under a year ago it had a new clutch fitted under warranty but that is now failing and will soon be replaced under its own warranty. Whilst confirming the second failure, our Toyota garage informed us that the front discs and pads need replacing at a cost of £221! In the few days between diagnosis and the car going in, the engine has started to make an odd noise which is worrying - more problems?? NB the car has always been main-dealer serviced and is generally well looked after. Our overall feeling is that the car is now becoming a "problem car" so it is likely that we will get rid of it shortly after ...  Read the complete review

Ok, so I bought this car about 2 years ago. At first I thought that it was great, I mean £35 on road tax a year and very cheap to run on petrol but I soon discovered, once I hit the 20000 mark that all was not as it seemed. Firstly my clutch went and had to be replaced then about 2 months later my exhaust went. I since discovered, after much research on the internet, that this appears to be a problem with these cars as they are cheaply made so are not expected for those who may be doing around 10000 miles a year, which is the average might I add. I must also add that within the two years I had the car, I had to replace the front tyres twice and one of the ...  Read the complete review

We have a Toyota Aygo Sport (2006) as our second car and while it was fantastic at first, once our son came along it became a real pain. I cannot fit his travel system in the boot, despite it folding down extremely small, and the boot is not even big enough to hold a small suitcase. In all the time I have had the car (2.5 years) I have only used the boot a handful of times as it is too small to be of any use. The 1 litre engine means it is very cheap to insure and run (only £35 road tax annually which is fantastic and about £30 for a full tank of fuel) but the vvti engine technology means it feels really nippy and is very quick off the mark. It ...  Read the complete review
