Toyota Aygo Road Test Reports and Car Reviews

Toyota Aygo Aygo Black 5 Door 2006

If Steve McQueen had been a car then the Aygo he would have been.... cool. Black, I have had my windows tinted, so cheap to run, try and find cheaper, a push bike might be. Really impressed, from Sept 06 I have done 24k no probs, nippy, sporty, well built, in fact a pleasure to own, my back seat is always down, which makes the room internally superb, servicing is very cheap, in fact running costs are for nothing, really can’t fault, if you want a low budget car well made with a touch of style, look no further.

Toyota Aygo Blue 2008

I’ve had my special edition Blue for 4 weeks. I’ve got to the 600 mile mark, ready to open it up a bit now it’s run in. Likes: The Bluetooth, which I wasn’t interested in when I bought it is amazing. As another review stated, it’s like having your own bit of Star Trek, it connects automatically when you get in the car and the voice recognition is superb. You can say "double 5" and it will hear it as 5 - 5. I’ve not had a single mis dial and I’ve a relatively broad Lancashire accent. The ride and manoeuvrability are surprisingly good. Excellent suspension, very nippy and agile through traffic. The size of the car is an amazing advantage you can get it to fit anywhere. The road tax, £35!!! My 600cc Motorcycle is £48. The insurance premium (I’ve saved £200 this year). The extras you get with the limited edition: Bluetooth, Air Con, Remote Central Locking, Colour Coded Bumpers and Mirrors, Special Edition Mats, Electric Windows, Leather Gear Knob. 5 doors is a must as the boot is so small. What I don’t like: (and this is going to sound quite harsh as I genuinely like the car!) No coat hanger hooks anywhere. It makes quite a lot of noise at high speed, you can hear every piece of gravel go round the wheel arches after the gritters have been out. You have to slam the doors to get them to shut, especially the boot. The interior light only comes on with the driver door, there’s no light in the boot The parcel shelf won’t stay up so it’s fiddly getting anything in and out of the tiny boot. The gearbox is a bit flimsy, you have to force the gears in, or have to declutch for it to go in smooth. The colour of the car means that it’s grubby in a couple of days. The bumpers offer no protection from other cars so there are scrapes on the lovely bluey paint already thanks to careless drivers. It is impossible to get anywhere near the claimed mpg. I’ve managed 49.5 mpg (most of the mileage on 40, 50 and 70 mph roads. My 1.6 Clio RSI could get up to 50mpg.

Toyota Aygo Blue 2007

The best car I have ever bought, just the right amount of room for my shopping and good on the motorway too!

Toyota Aygo 2007

Bought Aygo Blue June 2007. Great on fuel and lovely to drive. Not bad size inside ideal for myself and my two grandchildren. Unfortunately, this car has been in and out for repair on 3 separate occasions. There was more ice and condensation inside the car than outside the car. I have also had to have my window fixed as it would not go back up, also had to have glove compartment fixed as this would not stay closed and also had to have gear knob fixed as this was turning around every time you changed gear. I love my Aygo but unfortunately I seem to have purchased a badly manufactured Aygo. Not sure if anyone else encountered same problems.

Toyota Aygo 2007

Great little car.....fuel economy is astonishing! The car is nicely styled. I have the black sport version with allows, body kit and spoiler and it looks great. Although it only has a 1.0 litre and only gives 97bhp, its acceleration is surprisingly very good. It is quick and nippy, and great on motorways as well. Great car, cheap, quality and brilliant!

Toyota Aygo Black 2006

Hi Ho...Hi Ho... Christ this brings back panto memories and the small guys who used to dance alongside that girl dressed in white, black hair, sweeping brush and all that. This has to be the smallest oversized child’s toy ever introduced onto the market, (unless the Fiat 500 makes a liar out of me)...

To be fair, this was one of those test drives when your better half gets all exited, hot under the collar, giggling and eager to please you, (maybe us lads should keep an Aygo tied to the bed) Ha! Small...yes it is. Great colour...yes it was. Four wheels...yep all intact. Gadgets...blue teeth and an mp3 accessory does not count as much of a gadget blitz in my growing list of vehicular gad trads.

But once i managed to prise my rear left buttock into the drivers seat i had to admit to the better half, (who by this time looked like she was ready to slobber all over the car, and me, (quick find a bed post)!...That it really was deceiving from the outside looking in. The finish was really good and the driver view is impressive and at the same time felt quite safe. Turn the key...Aygotwat would not start! Flapping and panicking around the car came a hectic type of salesman, (must have been at least fifteen), pleading with me sir to stay where i was sir, i will get a mechanic sir, (like as if i was gonna leap out and forget it, after taking what felt like 3 x months just to get in it! The kind mechanic arrived and after adjusting the battery terminal we were finally ready to drive away and complete our test drive.

The Aygo was a real charmer of a car and there was nothing i could honestly fault from a driving point of view for a car at the base end of the market, the better half had grown a smile that was twice the size of her face, she loved it. I had the vehicle for a full couple of hours and even managed a local shopping trip where again, with all honesty found the Aygo to be really impressive.

I have to admit that personally i prefer the more mid to top range of vehicles than the bottom, but with all things being equal, Toyota have possibly found something of a girly winner with this little gem. Oh and if it is going to encourage all of those lovely better halves out there to slobber, and sweat, then us gentlemen should go out and make two purchases... 1 x black Toyota Aygo, and 1 x extra strong piece of chain to tie it to the bed!

Toyota Aygo + 2007

This AYGO + is one hell of a little car. Good on fuel and quite a comfortable ride. The service package that you can take out with your local Toyota dealer for around £11 per month for up to 5 years of servicing is quite a bargain as well. Good seat for driving in and I get no back ache after 300 miles of non stop driving. Also thrown in is a nice throaty little sporty roar from the exhaust system. Where ever AYGO it go’s. Could nit pick but with road tax of £35 per year and low insurance. Well say no more. PS. I am 63 and still like a little thrill now and again.

Toyota Aygo 1.0 litre 5 door

Bought the new AYGO Blue a couple of months ago. The fuel economy is simply amazing and for the 1 litre engine is more than quick enough for me and it has no difficulty on the motorway. This is a perfect first car as running the car, tax and insurance are all on the reasonable side. I would highly recommend the AYGO.

Toyota Aygo 1.0 VVT-i Sport 5dr

I’m so pleased I chose this car. It’s so enjoyable to drive and very comfortable. Plenty of space for my two teenage children in the back and very reasonable on fuel. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Excellent.
