I've owned a 58 Aygo Platinum for a couple of years and it still makes me smile. Added some sound deadening and it really improved things. They drive like a half scale hot hatch and can be parked in hilariously small gaps.

I suppose these cars are closest in spirit to the really basic things that were around in the late 1980s and 1990s. I am a big fan of Austin and MG Metros, for example.

Brilliant little review Sir, my mate with the Micra 160SR and Impul March had three of the Aygo Version, never let him down and he quite liked them for just commuting to work and back. I actually considered the C1 many years ago to replace my unrealible K12 Micra but plumped for a Focus Instead.

Yes, people probably swear by these, they are stupidly cheap to run. Not quite my sort of thing, but I can understand the appeal of them. For a daily trip of only a few miles, I am sure that one of these would fine.

There is a lot of choice out there, and so this is not the only alternative by any means, but they have become really popular these days. That keeps prices relatively high, especially for the dreadful robotised manual gearbox versions, which I had the misfortune of trying in December... Welcome to the world of No Budget Reviews!

Good little car. Light, easy to park and enjoyable to drive. Buying new I would always go for a Kia Picanto or Suzuki Celerio which are both much more accommodating and useful with winding rear windows. Buying used the 107, C1 and Aygo make much more sense. The interior is nice though. The later 2019 or later versions are much better cars.
@lloydvehicleconsulting Жыл бұрын
They aren't especially nice to drive (there is not much sound deadening, and I don't particular like the gearchange), but these are so cheap to insure, so inexpensive to service and so economical that it would be silly to overlook these as a cost-effective used car, especially as a first or second car.

There was a forbidden fuel version available on the C1 or Aygo but not in the 107, Personally it was pointless, less horsepower, not much gain in economy, no benefits in road tax, still £20. It was a PSA 1.4 4 cylinder unit, it's probably heavier than the Toyota unit.

I have a 2011 Citroen C1 VT. Absolute bottom of the range! Not even electric windows in the front. Windey "keep fit" windows. No RPM gauge. Oddly, it does have Aircon. Must have been bought as an extra. I love the car all the more for it's simplicity. In fact, I would have preferred it without power steering, as the steering gets very light at high speed. Early 2005-2006 base models had no power steering. Cracking little cars. Drives like new. Loud but great handling and 60mpg.

Hi , great reviews as always but I would like to point out that just because a car is in a low insurance group doesn't mean it will be cheap to insure, all the companies will class the risk on a car going by the number of claims. all reviews make this mistake, I Currently drive a 1250cc fiesta and looked at changing to an aygo but insurance would have been £130 a year more, it was also more expensive for the C1 at around £100 more. People need to do an insurance check before buying a particular car and not go by groupings to avoid any nasty surprises.

The worst one is the Corsa, which can be very expensive to insure because so many of them are owned by first time drives, who tend to get involved in a fair few accidents, sadly.

The clutches actually aren't that expensive if they do go, but clearly it is best to get one with a clutch that works. The engines do tend to quite reliable, but they can go wrong if they are neglected and/or have done very high mileage.
