The Toyota AYGO - the city car built for the urban playground. With performance credentials as solid as the tarmac it thrives on, AYGO is loaded with sporty charm.

Wish i had looked here before I bought one of these heaps of c**p for my girlfriend. The car has had all the problems listed previously. Water in the front footwell and ice and condensation on the windscreen. According to my Toyota dealership these problems are unique to me.... as I have now discovered this is obviously just a big fat lie. If anyone has managed to hand one back I would love to hear from you williamfreestone@thinkpositive.co.uk

My father was loaned a 2009 model Aygo courtesy car from a Toyota dealer in Woodford, Essex awaiting delivery of his order. This car leaked leaving puddles in the rear footwells. The dealer was asked to ensure that the actual Aygo purchased did not suffer from the same fault. A few days after delivery of the new car it rained and you guessed it....the rear footwells became damp. Regretfully the dealer refused to accept the car back and then denied that there ever was a leak effectively calling my father a liar. My father (a pensioner) did not want the hassle of legal action and was forced to accept a trade-in allowance for a more expensive car. It is apparent that Toyota are aware of endemic problems but will not make costly design changes to their products unless they get found out with a safety issue and publicity. Meanwhile, their franchise dealers are happy to pocket the income from in-guarantee labour claim back schemes. Buy another Toyota? I don’t think so!

Toyota Aygo Black 2009
I bought a new Aygo in August 2009, everytime it rains the car is soaking wet inside. It’s been back to the dealer twice who have changed different seals. There seems to be no definitive Toyota ’fix’ to this problem, with dealers having their own suspicions and theories as to where the water is getting into the car and usually these aren’t the whole answer. This car was bought for my wife, I’ve owned 3 Toyota’s over the last few years and if this car doesn’t get sorted properly by Toyota it will certainly be the last thing I ever buy from them. If Toyota want to hang onto their reputation for bullet proof reliability and excellent after sales support they need find a definitive ’fix’ to the problem to the water leaks, call them all back to be retro fitted with the solution and apologise to all the customers that have been affected. I don’t accept that just because its a cheap car we should accept poor quality.

Best advice - don’t buy an Aygo. Bought the car new for my wife and took delivery in October. initially very happy until about 1 week after when front and rear offside footwells soaked with water. Went into garage; this was the first of 4 visits. On 2nd visit they put stupid rubber roof seals on that my son pulled off within seconds; they said they were not aware of any leaking Aygos as all customers were very happy with the cars. 3rd visit they kept it for close to 3 weeks and was only repaired after I phoned up constantly. 4th visit to garage because plastic panels were falling off; they said it was a manufacturing fault and the clips that held the panels on could not be repaired. They said the fault with the leaks was due to faulty speaker seals. I can only sum up by using the word SCRAP. Think carefully about this purchase.

Toyota Aygo Aygo Blue 2009
Will try and keep this short as possible!! Took delivery of my leased Aygo on the 23rd November 09. TWO DAYS later I had about 4 inches of water in the rear passenger footwell. Went to my local dealership to be told by a sales advisor that this was a common fault!!! HORRIFIED. Could not provide me with a courtesy car untill the 7th dec. Came home and read the previous reviews and was gutted that I’d chosen it. By the 29th had water slopping around in both rear footwells. After numerous phone calls to the main dealership and the very helpful James from Leaseplan,a hire car was provided and the car went in for repair!! My dad went down to view the stripped car. The "problem" it seems is the manifolds under the internal door frame. You could have fitted your fist through it!! These were replaced along with the carpets which i INSISTED upon. TOYOTA need to act and sort out this persistent problem, along with the others that are now apparent (only automatics are affected in the Aygo.) I’ve told everyone I have dealt with to read the reviews on here, and family/friends to be wary of what they buy!! No more leaks so far, but I don’t hold much hope . Apart from water and now condensation it’s a nippy little car.

Toyota Aygo 3 dr 2009
Water leaks into the footwells. Horror! Thanks to these reveiws I hit the dealership running and there was no debate. Had a hire car and my Aygo was returned within 2 days. BUT it is far from clear what was done to the car as I had a different story from everyone I spoke to at the dealership/service area. The is no sign of damp or condensation and it has been cold and wet since the "fix" so fingers crossed. The big question remains is why has Toyota not fixed this problem at the factory? The company is held up as world leader in "continuous improvement" "best practice" etc, etc., yet this very serioius problem appears to have been ongoing for years! Big black mark Toyota and as for the sticky accelerator pedals..???

Toyota Aygo Platinum 2009
My Mother bought this brand new in November. 2 weeks later I borrowed it, only to find the carpet under the front seat & rear carpet & mats to be soaking wet. I rang the dealer on the Monday & they collected it on the Wednesday & returned it within 4 hours saying they needed to order the parts. The car became undrivable due to the amount of water, causing it to mist up. The dealer said the parts were not due in until January. How stupid do the dealers have to be to let a car on the road with a fault such as this AND allow it to get even worse over the following weeks? The car was returned and the dealer said we could have a loan car till the parts came (Jan) only ring on 23rd December saying it was all ready and we could collect it. We said no as it is a 30 mile drive. We did go there on 29th and found the car was still damp, heated rear screen still not fully working and the wrecked mats just dried out & put back in. We rejected the car (again) and trading standards have been informed and told us we have done the correct thing. We now want shot of this mouldy wreck of a car and either a replacement car or our money back. The dealer was most suprised when they were shown printed material off the internet about water leaks. The new part they had put on was just a rubber strip. In the showroom at the time was a new 3dr Aygo WITHOUT the strip so whoever buys this will get wet too.

Toyota Aygo aygo+ 2009
I was delighted with the Aygo until today! I’ve discovered loads of water behind the drivers seat, the carpet is absolutely water sodden. I am extremely unhappy and wish I’d looked at i/net before I’d purchased!

I have found the same water leak problem in my Aygo. I bought mine 6 months ago, but it is running smooth. I took my car in to the service centre because of a water leak and they gave me back saying it was fixed, unfortunately it rained heavily this week and I have found no change as its still leaking. I am feeling quite annoyed now after reading reviews that it’s a problem that Toyota is not addressing , taking hard earn money from the customers. I would not recommend this car to buy, as it has a reliability issue. My other car is 15 years old and doesn’t leak in any condition. That makes me think how poor designers are working at Toyota.

Toyota Aygo Platinum 2009
Mine is a new car that I purchased 2 weeks ago and both back passenger footwells are saturated. Toyota want to "fix" it but from what I’ve read here, it seems like my return ticket for this "repair" job has it’s first of many stamps! I am astonished by how long this problem has been ignored by the manufacturer. Unfortunately I didn’t find any leak review before my purchase or i certainly would have considered a different car. The Aygo platinum is a lovely little car. I love everything else about it. But a wet car, inside and out or frozen car inside and out is not a joy. Probably won’t be long before it starts to get damp smelling too! Avoid the Agyo!

Toyota Aygo Blue 2009
Purchased my Aygo in June 2009. I have now discoverd a leak in both footwells, I don’t know how it is getting in as mats are dry. Only the carpet underneath is wet, boot seems dry at the moment, not very happy with Toyota. I am returning it to Toyota service for repair but after what I have read on the these forums I won’t be holding my breath. I wish I had bought the Suzuki now.
