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

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

I am a new driver, and a Toyota Aygo is the first car I have driven, apart from my instructors car. Just over 2 years ago my parents bought a brand new Aygo, (in automatic). I find it very easy as a new driver, although it only has a small engine it still feels quite nippy because it is so small and light, and the handling is quite easy, as it is so small it is really easy to find a parking space to fit into. The Aygo is really economic for petrol, whilst I only pay £30 to fill the entire tank, my parents pay nearly £70 for their cars. The petrol also lasts much longer. I find the car really reliable and it has never broken down in the time we have owned it. the air con ...  Read the complete review
