Aston Martin Cygnet (2011-2013) Review

[@archangelz558]

how did a 2011 car end up on a 1994 episode? that outfit though

[@elnyoutube123]

archangel z He even sounds like he's from the 90's lol

[@marcelloribeiro2750]

archangel z jajjaja... That's true!

[@CarsofGlasgow]

hahahaha

[@04dram04]

This car feels like something Id see in a weird dream

[@patthonsirilim5739]

basically you buy it as a companion for a your real aston martin like mini aston

[@ethanielthegreat1842]

I wouldn't mind flexing on these smart car owners with this. Then again I would rather buy a Mercedes for the same price as this

[@mr_glasgow84]

A great video but I'm confused by the lack of reach adjustment on the wheel. The Aston Martin website and numerous others state that it has both rake and reach adjustment. Thoughts?

[@gtrman9706]

I was driving my 177 yesterday and found some money down the back of the seat.Think I'll buy one of these for my cat. 😂 😂

[@autocrossracer8320]

It does have one thing going for it, it’s the only reliable Aston Martin lol

[@alexconor6929]

Been thinking about getting something smaller yet with class and the Benz Glk is one expensive girl to maintain this seems like a whole better than a smart for two it is an Aston Martin after all

[@myfriendmoses]

Wait did he'd say he'd rather have a CVT over the Manual?

[@rer1967]

Obviously his feminine side drives. 🤣

[@carmaniac9802]

and why did he not know the manual version is 6-speed not 5 :-)

[@MacTechG4]

That statement alone invalidates his car review opinions, anyone who would voluntarily CHOOSE a bloody CVT is NOT a driving enthusiast. CVT sucks!

[@adisafwan4425]

Is this for real recorded 6 years ago? Feels and looks like it was 30 years ago

[@regdunlop5393]

In a way, I want one XD

[@HarryPotter-kz6kl]

Was that Geoff Capes' shirt you had on?

[@AlliterationsAficionado]

You can't just clue leather on the dashboard of an IQ and call it an Aston Martin. This car is a joke, even if you don't consider it's horrible performance compared to other Astons it isn't even luxurious. No Navigation system, No drive assistances and also not even electric seats?!? Most parts are cheap plastic and they couldn't even change those low tech headlights. And since it's no performance car, why is there a manual version? If you drive around in this car, 99% will think you just but a Aston Martin emblem on a Toyota and the rest will laugh at you, because you bought the worst car for a premium price. The Audi S1 is a much much better alternative!!!

[@runejohansen9075]

Hi Peter it feels very different to the IQ (i have Both) yes they have navigation. And with only 300 cars built and prices rising this is a keeper :)

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

I can think of another one: Abarth 500. This is a compliance car if I've ever seen one.

[@Jacob-xd3ko]

Rune Johansen you’ll be laughing to the bank

[@lindenloon]

+Peter Lustig I totally disagree that a navigation system or drive assistance are indicators of luxury. An Apple Watch has much more features than a Patek Philippe and there's no question about which one is in the luxury side! People often confuse technology and comfort with luxury. Anyway baptize a Toyota with a luxury brand was a stupid joke and of course could only end in a fiasco! A real plushtrap for women!

[@christopherspringmann]

The Cygnet rebadge was created, in part, to meet US CAFE standards. The added sound-dampening works nicely, too. I have a 2013 IQ which has a bad case of grill envy.

[@kellingtonlink956]

A Perfect review. Well detailed, very well thought out and Great camera angles. Thanks so much.

[@rivervalegroup]

Thanks for the feedback Kellington 👍

[@advboi]

Comprehensive review. Good job 👍🏼

[@clarkzy]

This was made so Aston Martin could keep their average C02 consumption down 😂😂

[@rogerhudson9732]

If only Toyota had let Lexus make a luxury city car, The CT200h meets iQ. Small city car tech should concentrate on the suspension, ride quality. Did Aston change the suspension??

[@azteck98]

ford fiesta 1.0 looks like an astion its faster and overal a better car.

[@starks834]

+kurt roepke Yeah, but who would like to drive Ford?!

[@gro_skunk]

+Anne Sitarek answer: many people

[@starks834]

Also many listen to the music by Justin Bieber. None of I know.

[@danmccarthy4700]

+Anne Sitarek If the Ford is a better car (which it is), I'd rather drive that than a Toyota IQ with a fancy grille.

[@azteck98]

i'm saying the fiesta better matches the aston martin dna better then the iq .its not a bad car.

[@FullOfMalarky]

So how does Aston Martin making this supposed to save the planet EU?

[@qlus]

I kind of want this car

[@bugbug718]

Muito bonito pena que ele não é vendido no Brasil

[@suardikaiwayan2634]

beautiful car, nice review and I like your British accent. :D

[@entropy22]

It seems like they dont make them anymore... rule was removed or what? Logic says they should still sell this car.

[@rootsmanuva82]

For all the talk about too much Gov't here in the U.S., our friends in Europe have it much worse. More taxes, more regulations.... This car is a perfect example of Gov't gone mad. No thank you!!

[@AR-zr1om]

I feel like if they remade this it would be so much better, Aston work with Mercedes now so they could do one based on the Smart Fortwo electric! Could be a very good car tbh I drove a fortwo brabus and it was such a laugh

[@rivervalegroup]

We'd LOVE to see it remade too! Are you looking for a new car at the moment?

[@alexsmith-mv4ts]

It does look like a Scion iQ

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

This is a compliance vehicle, and they could've done something interesting with it, like making it faster and lighter, but they didn't bother. This isn't even desirable for rich people, they'd rather buy an optioned out Fiat 500 or Mini. This thing still _looks_ like a cheap car, and rich people hate that.

[@haaha5439]

"Twirl this little Asston"

[@bruh1234lmao]

I want a the Aston Martin cygnet

[@forestdad]

White lines don't mean much to you on that test drive do they?

[@haaha5439]

The front end looks like a Ford Focus Electric

[@anthonyg5699]

i was looking at one of these on autotrader for fun and they're over £ 30,000 (end of august 2018) and on all of them the acceleration figure was the same as the one in this video, but all there top speeds were 170 mph !! lmao ;-)

[@rivervalegroup]

Hi Anthony! Thanks for watching our Aston Martin Cygnet video. We think in the case of this particular car you pay for the name more than anything. There is a Cygnet that has a top speed of 170 and that's the V8 variant. All the other models seem to have a top speed from 106 which is good going considering the size of this car. We hope this helps but let us know if you want any more information!

[@yunisrzayev9912]

Yes

[@andrewcoles862]

I love my IQ

[@TheGreatLoco]

This is a great concept. The best city car? Its the Cygnet. This wasn't a case of badge engineering, but of platform sharing.

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

The best city car? Could be the Audi S1, or the Abarth 500, maybe an optioned out Mini. This car doesn't have basic luxury features, that come as options on small Skodas. It doesn't even look good. Thanks but no thanks.

[@CarsofGlasgow]

great car!

[@reyrob]

I understand the point of this car besides simple EU emission regulations. I've always been screaming for a compact luxury car. So far I owned the original Renault Clio Baccara and the Lancia Musa Platino. Both small and very luxurious. I'd love to see a mini Jaguar, Bentley or Rolls-Royce. The only problem I have with the Cygnet is its origin. Why base it on a Toyota? AM is a traditional sporty, classy British car and they are putting their badge on a Japanese utilitarian. I'm not saying that its a bad car, au contraire however I think that could have chosen a different brand just like RR did using the Mini, a British brand with pedigree. At least the Cygnet is more of an Aston Martin than the Mini inspired by Goodwood is a Rolls-Royce. Jaguar, if you are reading, make a mini Jag!

[@04dram04]

You would love the Abarth 500

[@enemdisk6628]

Love it.

[@MotorTorq_ZA]

bond's favourite city car (i guess)

[@SlovenianE91]

Only 1500 of this was made? :'(

[@Bradman175]

+Simon Šelih It sucks.

[@jrocxzs]

Thank god

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

150 total sold, so 150

[@yunisrzayev9912]

New car?

[@rougeandrei9095]

Yes this is a new car made by the british brand Aston Martin which is luxury cars brand, Beatiful isn't it???

[@coloradoboo1071]

Why didn't he mention that the Toyota iQ costed $10,000 Euros while this bad boy went for a cool $35,000 Euros?

[@RealButcher]

I've an iQ... it's from APril 2010, it's red and has CVT of course ... also a towing hook... for Bicycles and a small trailer... (Yes.. European approval by German law) It has daytime-running-lights.. Also it has a rear-view camera and front and rear dash-cams. The wheels are black-spoked ones (from Opel)... Key-less entry... key-less start... His own Routeplanner from Garmin! So more than the Cygnet... only it's plastic and not Leather... It has the same very short turning diameter .. So I would never buy a Cygnet, just because of the (hardly different) bodywork and leather... for that extra price... damn... i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv127/realbutcher/Aanhanger%202016/IMG_20150608_112616_zpsf2shs49d.jpg

[@rougeandrei9095]

The RealButcher You know what keyless start button sucks to be honest I mean comeon u may have locks on ur car but they dont need keys to start it up so the car is easily stolen also they can just break the glass and steal it but if it have a key ignition it isn't easily stolen

[@aliozdil6586]

Pretty good

[@rivervalegroup]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@theworstpersonintheworld923]

More people liked this video than bought the damn thing!

[@-l_gavin_l-]

Hmm...

[@haaha5439]

So when that snobby guy was trying to make Aston Martin look good and said that it turned perfectly and all, why did he drive onto the curb...

[@ericgeorge5483]

What a cop out from Aston Martin. Ok, the Europrats dictated that Aston had to follow the emissions rules but rather than building a completely bespoke car they gave us this re branded tat. This will only appeal to those with more money than sense and I would rather have anal warts than a Cygnet.

[@frankburns8871]

I love Aston Martins, and I *will* own one one day...but this? No. Just freaking no.

[@rivervalegroup]

Hi Frank Burns! Thank You for watching our Aston Martin Cyget car review! The Cyget may not look like the other Aston Martins but the poor little one needs some love too! What do other Aston Martins have that the Cyget doesn't? Style, Power, Comfort?...

[@jaggass]

Must be rarer than MG3's.

[@rivervalegroup]

🤣 MG has just celebrated its 15,000th sale of the MG3.

[@chrisogrady28]

Can’t trust the opinion of anyone who doesn’t know why someone would ever order a manual over a CVT. Are you kidding me.

[@rer1967]

Oh come on, Aston Martin has yet to produce a reliable vehicle. The fact that they took a Scion IQ and mildly tuned it is anything but unique. Then they put in that stupid engine stop feature that does nothing but wear out the engine that much faster. Pathetic.

[@rivervalegroup]

Hi rer, This vehicle is no longer produced, the Cygnet was discontinued back in 2013.

[@rer1967]

@@rivervalegroup, Aston Martin is still producing things they refer to as cars though right?

[@Brandon-eh4tz]

I suppose I'll buy the Cynet when I own a $200,000+ Aston Martin DB11, so I'll have the perfect car to "nip into town for milk." The people that would buy this thing are rich enough to treat cars as shoes. A pair for every occasion. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE JOKE OF A VEHICLE, and a kick in the face to those who buy tiny cars out of necessity, if they can afford a car at all. It cost what...$50,000+ for a dressed up Scion/Toyota IQ. Absurd. Sorry for the rant.

[@aston74513]

This car is aston martin and my name is aston how funny is that

[@rivervalegroup]

Great stuff, Aston! 😅 Thanks for watching - make sure to subscribe for the latest vehicle reviews - bit.ly/319ZKoT​

[@TheJerry0003]

That car was a wrong...

[@felixarbable]

yeh but hilariously nobody bought them and theyve really held their value.

[@piotrmalewski8178]

It was made only to meet the range emission regulations.

[@victorhall5681]

this is not an Aston it's a joke!

[@carmaniac9802]

5-speed manual was never made, it's 6-speed or automatic

[@Tv1Apple]

Thanks Obama!

[@Vampybattie]

U won't caught me dead in riding that

[@04dram04]

Id rather drive a loaded abarth 500

[@frankburns8871]

All of the uselessness of the typical microcar, but with the added benefit of none of the prestige of a real Aston Martin...all at Aston Martin prices! Who could refuse?

[@wowfunvlogs9534]

3 cylinder Toyota engine? What!

[@ChristopherOvrebo]

hahahahahahahaha

[@theshadowman1398]

My god that this is ugly. It's like Aston martin got squashed.

[@tunder975]

Waste of money...

[@rivervalegroup]

Hi there, are you looking for a new car at the moment?

[@donaldsalkovick396]

Polished turd

[@audi1ification]

this is fucking disgrace aston martin.

[@alexconor6929]

Been thinking about getting something smaller yet with class and the Benz Glk is one expensive girl to maintain this seems like a whole better than a smart for two it is an Aston Martin after all
