Toyota AYGO reviews

I love this car. Changed from Renault Megan to Toyota Aygo. Its basically a get in and drive car. I have it serviced at Toyota at regular intervals. Fulel cost is affordable. I have my one since 2012 and no machanical breakdowns thius far. I bought a new battery in 2014 (recommended by Toyota South Africa) Had the fuel pump changed in 2017 (recommended by Toyota S.A) and thats it. I can see the rear leg room to be somewhat of a challenge when taking long trips with adults in the back. But then again its just me, my partner and our 8yr old. Wev'e gone on long journeys for days on end and my Aygo has never let me down. The rear doors sound a bit tin(ish) when you open or close it...Dues not have that nice firm full-door sound as other cars would have..it is more of a metal agaist metal(empty) sound.But that dont bother me because the car makes up in other areas where other cars cant. The road holding is extremely safe both onnturns and straight driving. Power steering is a blessing I must add. Mine has a 1.0 L engin so on incline's or mountain roads, I shift down to 3rd so not to let her labor in top gear. On mountain roads its more of a up and down shifiting to maintain a reasonable speed and that works. I maintain her well and she pays me back by being extremely reliable. On one occasion we were dressed up to go to a wedding and I could swore I heard her whistle to me as I got behind the wheel...who knows....after all...we do have a good relationship. So yes..there is so much more I can say, but the Aygo deserves to carry the Toyota branding.

Great first car for me! Cheap on petrol I top it up to 25 quid , gets loads of miles for that. 20 quid yearly road tax very cheap , economical, nippy about city, small car for parking spaces, great to reverse round corners, tight spots, great cd radio, play cds no probs, bass adjustment, great air con and heating system goes from 1 to 4 , gets warm at 2 , fairly hot at 3. Heats in a short time from engine start. Great pedals , not too high off floor for comfort!!! Steering wheel nice grip, 2 drink slots at front , one at back, coin compartments, and one drivers rightside, fog lights etc , one speed dial large and petrol gage beeps at reserve level, great for city driving , nippy, and town parking as small. Boot slams shut and opens with button press. Back doors open nicely, and lovely seating. Back windows open with push mechanism , push outwards to about inch inch half for air! Great car, fun design!#

£20 a year road tax, drop down back seats for carrying bulk items. Holds surprisingly large amounts of stuff although the boot itself is small and narrow and the parcel shelf gets in the way sometimes. Very basic model and I miss electric windows, automatic mirror adjustment, seat height adjustment etc. My model has rear sensors which is one of the main reasons I got it. I also got a smaller car as now retired and not doing the motorway mileage I was. A really good about town, short distances runabout and quite nippy . Low insurance and good running and servicing costs.

I found my car cheap to run. I mainly use it for local journeys which makes it the perfect small car. Although small it can comfortably seat 4 adults with plenty of leg space. Being 5 doors it makes it easy to get in and out. It does have a small boot but the fact the back seats go down makes it easier to get larger items in. I do struggle with the lockable petrol cap....although a minor criticism it can be awkward if I can't unlock it when filling up with petrol.....

Quite a nippy little car considering the engine capacity. Great fuel consumption. Easy to park. Lovely colour. I love it!

I have had 2 Aygos and have found both to be very reliable, cheap to run and to perform well for their engine size. Boot space and rear passenger space are smallish but front seats are spacious and comfortable. The built-in satnav and radio-cd player also allows hands-free mobile phone use and also allows an iPod to be connected. The "old" Aygo is a good small car which is ideal for local use but can undertake long journeys if required.

Purchased as a second car as I have a Toyota camper van. Needed a cheap run about,found the Aygo to be a nippy comfortable car, cheap to run and zero road tax.best choose I have made ,more than pleased,will renew with a newer model next year.highly recommended..

My Aygo does everything I want. It is cheap to run, I pay no road tax, it is comfortable, reliable and easy to park. My previous car was a Toyota Yaris and it served me well for 13 years. If my Aygo serves me as well I shall be well pleased.

A very economical car cheap to run ideal runaround

Brilliant little run around car.

Early days, purchased as daughters first car, so it's only been on short local trips so far

Nippy, responsive, manoeuvrable, economical, totally reliable, quiet, bags of legroom for tall driver and front passenger [rarely transport a rear passenger, but "four up" has been perfectly do-able [as long as the rear two aren't >1m80/6ft! Love that the air-con doesn't reduce performance unduly, and certainly doesn't affect mpg - forget that old myth! Superb service from local Main Dealer [I'd abandoned MDs with former cars - Ford/Mitsubishi] : nothing exorbitant in service-costs with Toyota and the Aygo.

After owning an Aygo Go for 2 years I note that the fuel economy is pretty useless for such a tiny car. Driven carefully only 50mpg urban but only 60mpg extra-urban. Comfort is surprisingly good, and the suspension is fairly firm until the dampers get thoroughly warm, and even then it's still a good firm ride. Great handling and decent lights. The door sill area gets filthy and requires extra cleaning over & above an attended car-wash. WEindow seals don't seal so can't clean the side windows by opening and closing the window. Uses hardly any oil and up to now has been 100% reliable. Four large adults really bog the car down with so little power on tap.

Have nothing bad to say about my Toyota Ago.Nippy little car for size of engine, running costs are the lowest I've ever had, it is 100% reliable and when the back seats are down I could get a baby elephant in there. I never have to worry about anything, just enjoy the drive! I have found all sorts of Toyotas very reliable (even pick ups and vans) and probably because I am under 5'find all the pedal/gear/steering wheel ratios just right for me.

We bought this Aygo new in 2007 expecting the running costs to be really low and reliability to match. I've had a few unexpected 'breakages' along the way, all outside warranty. The clutch plate fell apart. An airbag ECU failed. New brake discs needed at 20 000 miles. The radio/CD unit often misbehaves and won't change station or volume. Other than that, we have enjoyed this car. It is fun to drive, it's fairly good on petrol. I can't help wondering what will break next.

Nice little car, cheap to run, drives well on motorways but lacks acceleration. Reliable and very spacious inside when the back seats are down.

A bit tinny and with fairly basic accessories but it is a great car for my daily commute of about 12 miles along country lanes and into town.

I changed my car to save money ,less road tax ,less insurance and less fuel needed. It is nippy when overtaking is needed ,easy to park , it has tinted rear windows which help cut out glare and a nice looking car. I have had passengers in the back and all have said it is comfortable with good leg room for moderate journey lengths.Toyota give 5yrs warenty another good reason for buying I thought . All in all a great small car .

I have found this car to be economical, reliable, comfortable and very easy to drive and park. A pleasure to drive
