Toyota Aygo

[Trotter]

With the Aygo on the market over a year now, Im just wondering if anyone here has bought one?

I've decided its the car I'd like but I just want a second opinion. I've noticed theres a new Aygo Black, which looks lovely, but for over a grand extra, it can stay that way.

Im after an 06, mainly because I dont really see the value in brand new cars.

Has anyone any first hand experience?

the aygo is a joint project between peougoet and citroen, havent heard any bad press about them nice ''nifty'' little car by all accounts.

Yeah I've read up on the manufacture of the cars in Czech Republic.. The only real difference is the body panels and the idea that Toyota hold their resale value.

You also get an extra year on the warranty, so a 06 wil still have the best part of two years left on it.

Go for the Aura model. Terra simply too basic.

I test drove one of these yesterday. It was a lovely little car.. nice and nippy from a standing start, and a growl from the engine that reminds me of Peter Stringer.. small but ballsy

I'm looking at 9500 cash for something with 8k miles on the clock. I REALLY like the black version so I might wait out for a second hand one of those to turn up.

I think they're funky lookin little things but I'm hoping to buy a corolla later in the year...1.0 cars are fine for city only driving, but on the open road they struggle, wel mine does!!!

I've seen a black one with big chunky whells added too. It looks like a toddler trying to be a teenager

If you're in the market for a small car, I'd assume it's bigger than the 1st Starlet. If I was buying a small car again I'd deffo considere it, but I'd even skip the Aura nad go Strata image wise

Yeah I've noticed recently that I very rarely have the opportunity to go over 80km/hr because all my driving is around the city. My 1.2 16v punto is drinking petrol like its a student with free dutch gold. Also.. to my surprise, my insurance would be 100 quid cheaper on a 07 Aygo than a 98 punto!

I'll watch out for an aygo strata.. they're lovely.. rare enough though, and they are shocking expensive new!

They look nice in red too:

I'd say on your budget you will have to wait until the end of the year or early next year.

Alternatively go for a C1 or 107 now:

I've not heard of a Black edition, I know they started to be available in Tempest Black late last year, but there isn't a special edition that I know of in Ireland.
