Advantages: Cheap to run, cheap road tax, good car for a young person

Disadvantages: Tiny boot

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 drives comfortably in the city and on motorways and the Ipod connection is a great bonus. I get anything up to 600 miles out of a £30 tank of fuel which is great.

The stereo is not too good as if you turn it up very loud, the way I like it when I am driving on my own, it gets crackly above a certain volume.

There is loads of room for the driver and front seat passenger and even the back seats are pretty roomy but this is paid for by lack of boot space and the fact that it only seats 4 people (2 in the rear) rather than squashing 5 in like sardines.

For a young, single woman I think this car is ideal. It cost £8100 in June 2006 from a Toyota dealer, which included mats, fuel and a full tank of petrol.

Summary: No good since we started a family but before that I loved it
