Should You Buy a TOYOTA AYGO? (Test Drive & Review)

[@Ro32da72]

I wasn't young or broke when I bought my 2009 C1 - we did 100,000 miles together over 4 years and she never let me down. 15 minutes to change the oil & filter, piddly little brakes and tyres means cheap and easy to replace. Ok, it was tinny and noisy on the motorway, but it took everything I could throw at it and still turned in 55mpg. Great, great little cars. Fun to drive and fun to cane it knowing my licence wasn't in danger. Clutches went from 180mm to 190mm after March 2009 build, and the bigger clutch kits fit the older cars.

[@Historymaker881]

My first car was a new 2012 Aygo, the final facelift version of the previous gen. I live in South Africa and for a 22 year old newly licensed driver, it was perfect and ran on the whiff on an oil rag. Did 600km on a highway road trip averaging 120km/h and still had a quarter of fuel left in the tank. Saved me a lot on fuel, insurance and general running costs. Only problem was the rough, underpowered engine that needed to be coaxed a lot, often changing down a gear on the highway. Stick to the city and you will be just fine... This review brought back so many good memories. Thank you so much...

[@EclipseDante]

The clutch cable needs to be adjusted every service. Takes around 5 minutes to do. If this is done, the clutch lasts for as long as the car. We have Aygos in service with around 250 000kms with the original clutch. If this isn't done, the clutch will wear out fast indeed. The other thing we so go wrong with these is the o2 sensor on top of the cat, but we kit these instead of replacing them at our shop. Tbh these are excellent cars. I drive an Auris myself, but it's actually nowhere near the reliability of the Aygo. (I work at Toyota) Some tips for the DIY folks: The cheapest 10w40 engine oil (3 litres) will do fine for these and its perfectly fine to change the oil filter every 2 services. Iridium spark plugs have no problem reaching 100k miles and there's only 3 of them Cabin air filter should however be replaced every year, but these are like £5 online. Air filter can be blown out and used over without issues Adjust the clutch cable every service in order to keep the clutch from slipping and wear prematurely (10k miles is fine)

[@aldinmuhadzic9074]

Hello,can you explain How i make the clutch to Stay longer?

[@EclipseDante]

@@aldinmuhadzic9074 In the engine bay compartment, next to the battery on the left and under the AC high- and low pressure valves (if the car has AC) there's 3 cables and 1 of them will have a black plastic nut. Use that to tighten or loosen the pedal play. You want just a little bit of play so the bearing doesnt destroy itself. Im pretty sure you can find a decent video on the interwebs and if you're not comfortable doing it, just go to your local mechanic or the Toyota dealership.

I currently have the Aygo brother, 107. It's my first car and I love how cheap it is to run especially for a first car. Its 12 years old, only done 48000 miles, no serious issues other than the exhaust being nosey and an tire needed replacing. I paid £1650 for it and I paid £670 for my first year of insurance. To fill it up from empty is £32 and that lasts me a month. It's not the most of flashy car buy good for someone who needs a cheap run around.

I bought a new Citroen C1 in 2009 as a delivery vehicle for my business, lots of stop start journeys. It has been a great workhorse with over 156000 miles on the clock and still going strong. It is on its second replacement clutch but apart from a broken drivers door interior handle a couple of wheel bearings , a battery and a fan belt (just snapped this week) and the usual consumables, it has been very reliable. It does use about a third of a litre of oil a week now though. Oh, the rear wash has packed up but the wiper still goes. My son learnt to drive in it and I would have given it to him once he passed his test but it wasn't cool enough for him so he bought himself a BMW! Kids!

[@gravemind6536]

Car finance is ruining kids now they can drive round in any car they want and feel cool and get the short term validation that comes with it. Not uncommon to see 19 year olds in almost brand new BMWs and Audis driving like total idiots and up to their eyes in debt for the next 5 years.

[@jordansclancy]

I've just got a 2007 toyota aygo as my first car and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately I've not had a chance to drive it yet because of the coronavirus outbreak I've not been able to do any lessons. But I have been out in it with my dad driving, it's a great runner and I've managed to get loads of things for it to make it suit me more like a new DAB Bluetooth stereo, seat covers etc. Can't wait to actually be able to drive it

[@heizoeli]

I'm neither young nor broke but for me its a perfect car for all who dont want to spend more money for a vehicle that carries you from A to B than necessary. As for the clutch as a weak point, i bought mine with about 55' km with a new replaced clutch. I have been told you will need a new clutch every ~50' km but now mine has run for 130' km (75' km with the 'new' clutch) and still works fine. I even had not to readjust the clutch anytime yet. This cheap car has a clutch that doesn't have any mechanism that readjusts by itself, so you have to take care of it. I have to admit that i live in the countryside and drive much on the Autobahn, therefore i dont use the clutch very much. Water leakage i can confirm as a weak point, i fixed it by sticking an additional door seal on all 5 doors. I also sealed the back lights to prevent anything where water can go inside the car. Then i had to replace a wheel bearing on the front right wheel at about 80' km. But that was probably my fault, because some months before i hit a stone that actually damaged the wheel rim. The one who has owned the car before me, has replaced the water pump, which is scolted as another weak point of this car. It is actually the new/better version with an aluminium case, instead of the original one with steel case. Then the common wear parts, as brake pads and discs or new tires. At the end of the day a very cheap and reliable car to run. Sorry for my bad english, greetings from germany.

[@kalilavalezina]

Thank you for this - and your English is spot on!

[@andrewarnell1251]

A bit of a late response. The gearbox is actually a manual gearbox with a fancy gear selector. My wife's auto 107 required a new clutch @ 88k miles, it cost around £380 as they need to reprogram the clutch as well. Still cheaper than a clutch replacement on most cars. Other than that, we've owned it for around 35k miles so far and it has been absolutely outstanding.

Bought the Citroen C1 (same car) for my wife 5 years ago after a disastrous Mercedes A class . Best car I’ve ever bought. Serviced it last year for £40, changed front discs and pads £30. New tyres £36 each. Insurance is £110 per year. 50-60mpg. Zero road tax, clutch is much better on 2012 models onwards - they added a better clutch. Replaced a damaged seatbelt - Citroen wanted £400, did it myself for £30. No cam belt to change either. Forgot to mention - my daughter had the Peugeot version - managed to put it straight through a double brick garden wall - leaving the car balancing on the wall. Total cost - £70 for a recovery to lift it off. £30 to repair the clips on the front bumper, £300 to repair the wall.

Great videos! I’ve owned my 2010 Aygo for 5 years. Water was leaking through the high level rear brake light. Unscrew it, run a bead of clear silicone around it and reinstall. No more leak issues for me. Put in four new speakers and an under seat sub, and a new head unit. Sounds great now. These cars eat exhausts, but £70 fitted at my local garage. 54 mpg average over 5 years. Needed new discs and pads, new front shocks, 2 exhausts. Change the oil every 10k miles. Not had any clutch issues yet, but they were fitted with stronger clutches after 2010. If you have an air conditioned model, don’t forget to change the pollen filter (above passenger seat footwell). Most comfortable car I’ve ever owned. Driven 250miles in a day, can get out with no aches or pains. My air con still runs cold. Great little car. Oh, and never had any issues with the parcel shelf or indicator stalks. Currently at 88k miles

This is a really great feature of this channel - the variety. Nothing's more boring than a car channel that just does the same old performance vehicles.

It's become an icon I think. The first generation Aygo is to this date the best small car ever in my opinion. I've had one and there is just not a care in the world driving one of these little cars as anything that might happen to it is so cheap to fix. The only thing that annoyed me sometimes is the lack of power when you're with 4 people in the car, getting the car to 60 is a real struggle and you wish you had at least 10 horses more.

If you're not doing 6,000 rpm then you've still got more horses to find 😄. The rev range I keep the car in I can imagine I rarely ever use more then 25hp below 3,000 rpm (which equates to a maximum of ~34hp@3,000, but usually more in the 2-2,500 range which is ~22-28hp max based on Dyno tests of these cars) xD

I have two anecdotes about my Aygo 1) On several occasions I calculated I got 65 miles to the gallon - the thing ran on fumes. 2) Once the check oil light came on on the dash so I brought it to my garage, when they pulled the dipstick in, there was no (or practically no) oil in the sump, I felt terrible because I like to think I don't mistreat my cars, but the thing had been putting along with no indication (at least not that I could see) that anything was amiss until the light blinked on, no blue smoke or any strange sounds, the garage filled up the oil and the little trooper carried on like nothing had happened. Only traded it in once we had a baba, and I still think we could have fitted the seat in (the car has iso fix, but it was a rear facing seat and it was right up against the driver seat).

[@TRASHoftheTITANS]

Just as a PSA: I had a 12 plate Aygo as my first car, and I had the leaky boot issue. But I found the problem wasn't the boot seal, but actually the lights. The rear light clusters are completely unsealed and there's quite a panel gap around them, so water quite freely trickles through them and into the boot. I (and I reckon most people) only noticed this when the carpet became so sodden that the water started to soak into the lining around the sides, which is what led to the condensation and smell. I also had issues with water ingress through the high level brake light - again, totally unsealed, and the lens had actually warped, creating a perfect passage for water to pool in the headlining. It got so bad that it messed with the electrics, and I had intermittent issues with lights flickering or stopping working. Once I'd sealed all the lights with silicone putty, I never had a problem again. They're bulletproof cars mechanically, but they are built to a price, and the extreme cost-cutting measures do become painfully evident at times!

[@philipscott1128]

They even do aftermarket seals on eBay now

[@JoaKimzen]

Is this also true for the C1's and 107's? The Aygo has a different design on the rear, with different lights and glass hatch. I have a C1 from 2010 with only 44000km (27 000 miles) on it. When I got it there was some water under the carpet where the spare wheel is, but there hasn't been water in there since. Still, if there's something that I can do to prevent it from leaking in the future I'd happily do it, as I live in Norway where It's either snowing quite heavily or raining buckets.

[@Gasmaska69]

Bought a used Jazz (GD1 from 2005) in march 2020, they were ridiculosly cheap back then, mine cost 2k euros, but needed some fixes, like new gearbox bearings and stuff, all in all with LPG conversion cost me below 3k Euros. All electric windows, heated mirrors, auto a/c and the list goes on! Best car to be used as a daily driver/beater. Chain driven engine. At one point even loaded a whole sofa in it because it's SUPER practical. Nowdays, one that's in worse condition costs 3.5k-4k which is mad, and I can't say that inflation is to blame.

[@Jpjc474]

But you know what, it's 8 months since I got him and I haven't planned to get rid of him yet. Absolutely brilliant little car! Yes, you need to give him serious beans to get him going since the clutch is pretty weak; and if you're carrying passengers, a prayer will be necessary to get up a hill.

Honestly it was a great little car. I'm a big fella so people would laugh their heads off when they saw me getting out of it - but they soon changed their tune if they needed a lift. Once they'd sat in it they were blown away by how comfortable it was. I do 40 miles a day commuting to and from work and this used to do me a month's commuting for £70. The only reason I didn't buy it at the end of the lease was that I had a near miss on an A road and I realised that driving into and out of a busy city each week I needed something with a bit more meat on it's bones in case I got shunted.

i've got a 16.5 yr old son, good timing and good review.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Theyre great first cars. Literally the cheapest thing to buy and insure

[@MacklandsMotors]

They are also a hoot to drive ! And you can't go fast enough to get a speeding ticket so Mummy and Daddy can rest easy

[@timinman9578]

We don’t even have these in Australia . But enjoyed your review. About time someone reviews second hand cars.

[@Batesandrw]

That 1.0 litre is a brilliant engine. Think they are VVT, my wife’s 64 and 68 plate C1 are.

[@byronmills5952]

Awesome cars. Basically Mk1 Yaris derived underpinnings with the 3 cylinder Daihatsu based engine and box. The very small clutch wears quickly due to the featherlight flywheel not giving a noticible biting point for most drivers to judge. Unburstable otherwise in all badge variants. Only problems I've experienced are boot seals as mentioned and the indicator stalks fail at older age..and that about it. Easy to work on and cheap to repair.

[@alankeyes8267]

I loved my Aygo. Got it for £4000 when I was PhD student so I could go caving. Drove it for work and put 53,000 miles on it (leaked and indicator stalk failure) sold it 5 years later for £1390. Still feel like Inlet it go too cheap. Amazing car.

[@george8859]

I currently have a C1 3 door as my first car. I use(d) it to drive to uni in London, very good car, 20 quid road tax, costs nothing to run, the only thing I've had to do is a couple of tires and some oil. Enough power for the city, bit of a pain for the motorway, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

[@mrgdc7120]

Something funny about seeing you go from all these luxury barges and Range Rovers one minute, to being in a small Aygo the next! Brilliant car though and a great video Matt keep it up :)

[@HighPeakAutos]

Funny thing is most of my life involves driving things like this :)

[@Simonsterr1]

bought mine in October 2017 (build in 2008)(went to middle of France with it, to Disneyland Paris and 2 times to The Ardennes). And as you've said, its not the fastest car but it takes me 134 km (about 83 miles) to work everyday. recently i had to change the brake discs but its the most i've ever spent on it since i bought it. My father had one from 2011 but now he has the new aygo and i think its better than this one. So if you have a bit more money, buy the new one instead of the old one, but if you don't have the money this car is great!

[@neilstorey4987]

I own the Citreon C1 as a second car runaround.Absolutely love it.Basic cheap and surprising fun to drive.I will pass it on to my daughter when she passes her test.Ideal first car.

I am about to buy one and your review comes in handy. By the way, in Uruguay a Peugeot 107 from 2011 costs 8K dollars. Life...

[@peterthwaites5891]

I got a 5 year old Peugeot 107 urban 3 door for my elderly Dad...Brilliant little thing with a nice thrummy engine and fantastic economy, being pretty much a base model there were few luxuries but fortunately it was finished in metallic black which when i added a set of top model alloys it looked quite sporty! only problems in 5 years of ownership were as you say, a clutch and the glove box lid would never stop closed (which i took off) sold it a couple of years back when he gave up driving, it still fetched an excellent price.

[@mrsmith4683]

Eventually getting round to thanking you as it was this video & another one in which you recommend the Aygo as being a very reliable small car / runaround that first made me think about getting one & I bought a 2016 Aygo a few months ago. The post-2014 Aygos are also (imo) one of the best-looking small cars, especially if you choose a good colour combo! (Touch wood) I’m really happy with it so far, so cheers mate, the vids were really useful 👍👏

[@Weizel88]

I have a 2012, 5 door Aygo with 56.000 km's (when bought) Also drive it for the past 3,5 years. Doing 1040 km's per month for work. Love mine! Maintenance i do it myself and it is very cheap. For me the only downside is the crappy clearcoat wich is crackling and letting loose. And the water in the car after rain. (already upgraded all 3 of the rear light seals) Greetings from NL

[@johnrowson6856]

Had a 2015 for last few years as a second car . It really is a great and cheap second car . 50 mph minimum , zero tax and a funroof!

[@ianfrost3529]

My wife had the 107 automatic as her first car £20 RFL and average of 45 mpg with lead boot. We had to replace the clutch which is double the price of the manual and you need the diagnostic-tool to reset the clutch actuator which also advise to do yearly when the car is serviced or the gear changes go out of sync. The car had its faults but was a very good car. But just something to mention on the 5 door model they had the bonding on the back windows fail which happened to us and nearly fell out onto the motorway which up to very recently the three manufacturers were still honouring it so watch out for that and on the automatic the throttle pedal sticking which Toyota recalled Citroen and Peugeot didn’t. But like you said it’s the car I have recommended to most of my friends for there sons and daughters as there first cars

[@acwdrivingservices9877]

Clever stuff reviewing 3 cars in one! Agree with you great little cars, my daughter won’t consider any other, she loves them!

[@tomthompson7400]

Yep , I have one , well the Pug but its basically the same , check the oil and water every time I top up the windscreen wash fluid , thats about it , just drive it hard and put it away wet and it loves it.

[@Mini-cu6mk]

I have the Peugeot version, great little car It’s my first car, I’ve had it for around 2 years, I’ve done 30.000km in it and it’s still perfect. The only thing I ever needed to replace were the front brakes

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

My mother also has P107. Check it. Did a test drive of it. :) HAve it on my channel. Agree it is a nice city car.

[@parvindermander5664]

We love our little 2006 aygo still going strong and hardly serviced, starts always 1st time on the key, great little go cart like feel cars to drive and cheap to run.

[@williamfence566]

What's it's say when I get excited there's another High Peak Auto's review ?. Either I need to get out more ( that's a no at the moment ) or the reviews are spot on , diverse and well delivered .

[@ianyoud1]

Hi Matt my daughter has one in red on a 64my and with it being her first car she absolutely adores it and for such a small car it has everything alloys ac cc ew sat nav abs tc Bluetooth for music and phone connection it’s amazing spec for such a small car and up until last year was covered with the Toyota warranty and the the little engine even sounds good great first car,another brilliant video matt which I’m sure you keeping a lot of your fans entertained in these difficult times hope you are well stay safe best wishes ian.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Cheers Ian, same to you :)

[@pioneerz450]

On these cars, check the rear axle mounts. Prone to rusting out in countries that get salt and snow in the winters.

[@AK313AK]

Ive got a 2007 aygo, bought it 3years ago. Ive had none of the problems mentioned in this video apart from the clutch, which i put down to wear and tear. Toyota even changed my rear windows on a recall.

[@nickmandis6513]

My wife has an Aygo and you have pretty much summed up the car perfectly. Great and funny video.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thanks 👍

[@lincolnwilson2044]

Brilliant little car, mine is a 2006 and I love it. Yes, it is a bit rattly and I've had to screw back on the internal door handle...but it is great to drive and the engine (3 cylinder) sounds like a porsch in 1st and 2nd gear, what a growl. I've had a BMW, a 26k Ford Focus and a Rav4...and this is just as enjoyable to raz about in. Love it

[@MrAshleydickens]

Morning - thanks for keeping the videos going during lockdown - love the videos

[@smokeybandit3]

A point worth mentioning is that the brackets that hold the rear door glass in place can fail causing the glass to fall out. However, there has been a recent recall so can be rectified free of charge by a dealer.

[@Jahmed5635]

Would love to see a video on a mk1 Yaris mate!

[@nirodha35]

agreed. :-)

[@tardeliesmagic]

Me too! I have one,reliable as f*ck!

[@SquidgyPickle]

I put 100k on one of these and took it all over Europe. Never had one single problem. Those engines are pretty much indestructible and they get crazy mpg. Plus if you push it, it'll do 110mph on the autobahn!

[@HighPeakAutos]

Haha really! I've never tried

[@SquidgyPickle]

@@HighPeakAutos most definitely! Seemed very long geared! They'll do 60 in second

[@LetsTakeWalk]

110mph? Must have been going downhill.

[@SquidgyPickle]

@@LetsTakeWalk i don't remember. I was too busy waiting for something to fall off.

[@Joe69420blazing]

I’m a 19 year old student and I love my 2013 aygo. It’s awesome and the only thing wrong with it is the leak 😂. But always starts (apart from when I left my interior light on and drained the battery). Would 100% recommend to anyone.

[@davidmoffat4610]

Always enjoy your videos. I think the variety of cars you review is what make the channel so good. Keep it up.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thanks!

[@g0fqb]

The high level brake light leaked on ours stupidly thin seal and yes I got replacement from ebay for a few quid but otherwise agree with all your comments brilliant first car love the channel thanks very much for the videos

[@jordanwilde7421]

Fun little fact I had one of this and it got battered every single day for 4 years never let me down the 1KR-FE that's used in these is actually rated for use in light aircraft if that doesnt shout reliability I dont know what does lol absolutely love the channel I've just bought myself an L322 and its thanks to your reassurance although as you've advised I've got some "uh oh" money set aside for when it bites lol

[@scottboof]

Remember a mate having one of these - the thing that stuck out to me was the brilliant gearing! 1st gear was really long, great for town driving. Was a nice little unit for what it was. Take it for what it is and it's a great buy.

[@johnhall4917]

38mph in 1st gear.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thats right. perfectly geared for around town

[@stevebeever2442]

Really easy to work on too. I have zero experience as a mechanic but I just changed the cabin filter, air filter, spark plugs, oil and oil filter with no problem at all. Just watch a couple of youtube vids for some guidance and it was easy. Picked up a full service kit from the city bug store on ebay for £56 so made a good saving compared to taking it into a garage

[@richie6921]

Seriously good handling on these cars. They are a hoot to drive, so delicate and fun to drive

[@stablinskee]

Looking for one of these and, have to say, what a brilliant summary of all the main issues and possible costs. Great review, excellent reviewer.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zoeh6546]

Structural rigidity of a wet crisp 😂 I could listen to you talk all day, Your analogies are hilarious

[@geriatricmotorcars9516]

Great review ' Can vouch for all the minor faults ' as my mother has one ' You forgot the elderly ' so Get a few for them ' :) I liked the £30 quid ... Gets you a lot on Ebay

[@zzhughesd]

Yes. As a trade dumper. Hard hate these. They do more than they say on the tin

[@mecoltd449]

Great review again Matt, Well done

[@HighPeakAutos]

Cheers
