Toyota Aygo

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

If you want a valid comparison I can compare it to Lady Tester's Fiat, the umpteenth in a line of tiny Italian cars that she drives; that can accelerate acceptably AND go uphill. There's no excuse Mr Toyota; this car is crap.

I think their Yaris/Corolla/Auris are awesome. I can't imagine a need to go smaller than a Yaris so would never even consider an Aygo. Mrs NWP2C has a pristine 1.6 Tspirit Corolla, absolutely lovely drive.

Yep, but those cars have a thingy in the front that at least resembles an 'engine'.

I had one as a courtesy car a couple of years back. The Aygo is a car with split personality. Around a busy town its brilliant, you can see absolutely everything.

I can't even see much because it's obviously designed for someone who's 5'2" so all I can see is the bloody roof unless I bend my neck to look under it. I'm not especially tall either.

Brought the J-a-a-a-a-g for servicing at a garage that someone recommended, got a 'free' replacement car for the day; a Toyota Aygo. People, if you have become accustomed to a contractormobile, do not consider buying this car. It is slow, noisy, rattly, wobbly, plasticky, tacky, yucky and generally poo. I have renamed it the Toyota Aygoslowly. It can't hold it's speed up a hill, acceleration is sort of, well, tomorrow, and while I know that the Toyota Corporation make several products that excel in many ways, this is not one of them.

Isn't this the thing that Aston Martin Rebadge as the Cygnet?

nope thats an even smaller car which is actually made by Toyota (the IQ). The Aygo is a rebadged Citroen C1 or Peugeot 107.

You mean that thingy that's being offered at a knock down discount price of 50,000 euros at the dealer because they can't sell any of them?

I bought a 56 plate Toyota Corolla Verso T180 2.2 litre diesel (175hp) just last night - no problems at all.

They were only available to owners of a DB9 or above in this country. don't think I have ever seen one outside of a show room though. At least the Fiat 500 Version that Ferrari built was bloody quick. (I don't think that the Italians at Ferrari quite understood why they had to make a low emissions car)

Yes, it has 175hp, so it will probably at least move. I have become accustomed to a supercharged V8 with 400hp. I am not convinced that the Aygo has any hps at all. I may have to pedal back to the garage.
