Toyota AYGO Reviews - Page 3 of 3

I would have doubts about its reliabilty because the Peugeot 107 and the Citreon C1 are identical to the Aygo, so that means it's not really a Toyota, as Toyota has joined Citreon and Peugeot on this one, using a lot of their parts.

The Aygo is a Toyota design. As I understand it Citroen and Peugeot joined in the manufacture only. Check the Aygo factory web page for some interesting info on the Aygo. The diesel variation provides considerably more torque and incredible economy. The diesel is however a French engine.

All mechanical and most electrical parts in the C1 and 107 are Toyota, some body panels are different, that's it! The cars are all built on the same production line and Toyota build quality standards are applied. Finally, I drive a C1 and if you compare it to other one litre cars its surprisingly lively (you can put that down to Toyota VVTi).

I agree with the above. We've owned a C1 for six months and it's surprisingly comfortable on the motorway and very nippy around town. Yes it's noisy (characterful!) when accelerating but when up to speed on fast A-roads and on motorways the engine noise fades into the background. This is, however, replaced by wind / tire noise, but I don't find this especially tiring. The boot is tiny but this is made up for by generous cabin space, big enough for four adults. Most budget cars are built cheaply using budget materials. This car was designed to be cheap and uses materials with reasonable quality, there's a difference! try one, it may surprise you!

Yes, you were "testing" this car! In other words you didn't buy it because you didn't like it. I don't think it is fair to write a review on a car that you have only experienced on the basis of a test-drive, particularly when your complaints revolve around it being noisy and lacking in creature comforts. If it doesn't have enough toys for you, why did you bother to even sit in it in the first place?

I test drove the Aygo and didn't buy it for safety reasons. Everything was great until overtaking became necessary. There is more go in a bottle of pop! Highly dangerous in my opinion. Later, on a long gradient with two up it felt as if the engine was terminally ill, as it just faded gradually away. Sorry, not for me thanks.

It has four stars, is that not safe? Seeing that a Kia Picanto just gets 3.
