LEE SAYS

Performance Performance - 3 stars

The Toyota Aygo has the limited choice of only the three-cylinder 1.0 petrol engine. 67bhp is enough and the Aygo is a nippy and convenient town/city car that can still hold its own on the motorways. A semi-auto gearbox with a full auto programme is optional.

Ride & Handling Ride & Handling - 3 stars

A car that handles neatly but the steering is rather shiftless. The Aygo is available in automatic and manual, the manual is recommended as the Multi-Mode manual transmission will infuriate you. The ride is rugged and noisy, especially noticeable when the surface changes.

Build Quality & Reliability Build Quality & Reliability - 3 stars

Toyota’s reputation for reliability is well earned and all models are built at a Toyota-designed factory that follows strict quality benchmarking. The interior has nice touches and the attention to detail is impressive. Although this is a budget car the general feel is that the Aygo is built to last.

Safety & Security Safety & Security - 4 stars

Front airbags come as standard, side airbags standard in all but the base model. Curtain airbags are not available on the Aygo but the Euro NCAP rating of 4 stars will reassure many drivers that they will be well protected in the event of an accident. ABS and ISOFIX child seat mounts also come as standard.

Space & Practicality Space & Practicality - 3 stars

The Aygo can seat 4 average-sized adults without too many problems. The boot space is tiny and not easy to access. The split rear seats can be folded to cater for any large load.

Ownership & Value Ownership & Value - 5 stars

The Aygo range is capable of more than 60 miles to the gallon plus insurance and serving costs will be low. Resale values should be respectable too.
