write a Review about the Toyota Aygo
The Aygo, pronounced
I-Go, is part of the trilogy with Peugeot (107) and Citroen (C1) in
producing a new breed of affordable small car for Europe. Each one of
the three makes use the same core car but each will have its own
distinctive appearance, marketing and pricing strategy.
The Aygo is available as
a three or five door with three equipment levels, Aygo, Aygo+ and Sport.
Fifty five per cent of customers are expected to choose the five-door
version and 55 per cent Toyota UK say will go for the Aygo+
specification.
All models, including the
Peugeot and Citroen versions, have a new Toyota 1.0-litre variable valve
timing three-cylinder petrol engine with a power output of 67bhp and
93Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm. Top speed is 98mph with a 0-62mph
acceleration time of 14.2 seconds. Overall fuel consumption is 61.4mpg
with a CO2 figure of 109 g/km, the lowest for any petrol engine on the
market putting the car in the VED band B. The insurance group rating of
1E is bound to attract young first time new car buyers say Toyota.
A five-speed manual
gearbox is standard with the extra cost option, around £600, of a
multi-mode clutchless manual/semi automatic transmission.

Toyota Aygo Ice: Previouse car K11 '03' plate 1.0 Micra 2
dr & loved it. 40MPG (37MPG in winter) All 1 & 2 mile journeys - work &
school runs etc. Owned 3 yrs with 30k. Now 61 plate Aygo ICE 4dr. More
road noise but handles better. Better interior, but smaller. Refuelled
twice 50MPG & 46 MPG on same local routes (its Jan 2012). Has v small
boot, but do weekly shopping ok, but also has 50/50 fold rear seats.
Kids 6 & 8 like it in back & I have sat in back ok (5'10"). Just as fast
as Micra, but less load carrying especially thro rear glass boot/window.
Rear wiper slow but effecient. Curtessy light switch on drivers door
only and no delay to find ignition / seat belts. Cab heater not as good
as Micra, but does have air.con. £20 tax (1st yr free). stylish inside &
out. The more I drive it, the better it gets. Thought a bit cheep
finish, but doesn't squeek/rattle & is durable. No deadlocks, no trip
computer, no engine temp gauge or Tacho (is an option) but does have
ABS, and front / side airbags (4 star Ncap rating). Electric front
windows (but I have to lean across to operate passengers). Excellent
turning circle, easy to park (always a space left somewhere to squeeze
it in). ok on Motorways, but I wouldn't want to do daily long commutes
on one. Excellent round town. Slightly harsh suspension (jarred over
some bumps) brakes & lights all good. 5yr warranty. and good reports of
reliability. Early reports of clutch failures (larger plate fitted and
leaking door seals (now modified) Good re-sale prices. Group 1
insurance.
Alternatives are Hyudai i10, Kia Picanto, Suzuki Alto or
even Swift

Aygo: I love my aygo. Had a BMW 3 series
before which i was using for work. I do loads of town miles and the aygo
is saving me small fortune. It's geared very well so it's still nice and
nippy. Would recommend this fab little car.
