Toyota Aygo 2012-2014 | THIS IS FOR YOU !! in-depth review

[@bordersw1239]

Bought the Citroen version for my wife after a disastrous Mercedes A class, car was meant to be with us for 2 years max so we could save for a better car. Now we’ve had it for almost 9 years, use it as my daily for work.

Another car and driving review, smooth professional and as comprehensive as you could want. I personally prefer small cars, but here in NZ large SUVs are becoming ever more numerous, as are large utes. Thank you again, your reviews are consistently top notch, and very nicely presented and filmed in beautiful English settings. My own Nissan cube Z12 continues to be a delight to own and drive. Keep them reviews coming!.

thank you!

10 years ago our used Renault Megane broke down so we bought a C1 from new thinking will just sell it on after a couple of years. We did bought a larger second car but ended up still driving the C1 everyday. 10 years on it has no rust, no problem and I keep discovering little surprises from this awesome little Toyota engine, including it being capable of reaching 110mph!

[@adamek9750]

what speed do you change gears at?

[@rinima858]

@@adamek9750 can't remember exactly but 3rd gear should be able to bring you up to 75 before reaching 6000rpm, then 4th can take you to 95mph without too much problem. If conditions are good you should be able to reach 100 and up. 4000-5000 gives you the best power and then starting to sap after 5000. Don't bother with 5th as it's for cruising at 70mph and will drain your top speed. Use quality fuel not supermarket ones. I found BP fuel works best with the little engine.

@@rinima858 my car doesnt have a tachometer so thats helpful

[@rinima858]

@@adamek9750 sorry scrap the 3rd gear reaching 75. It's been a while so I couldn't remember exactly but today I had a chance to get onto motorway and it's actually 3rd gear for 90mph. Once you are on 4th it will struggle so stay on 3rd as long as you can before reaching 90mph if you are aiming for top speed.

they defo rust on the cills

[@tomthompson7400]

I have one ,,, get the waterleaks sorted ,,, fit a bit more sound insulation and they are a mighty wee thing.

[@okuhlembengo]

Great presentation!! Super informative and clear, thank you!! I’m certainly opting for that Toyota as my first!!! 😅

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Glad it was helpful!

i like the design of toyotas from 2010-2017. the keen look design was the best but then they cocked it up with the corolla hatchback

[@mottom2657]

Toyota went wild after car magazines were regularly calling Toyota designs 'too safe' and 'boring'. Akio Toyoda said that he had enough, no more 'boring' cars.

[@MotorTorq_ZA]

@@mottom2657 yes no boring cars. Then he brings us a Bmw and some angry looking hatchbacks

[@MotorTorq_ZA]

The only Toyotas I like these days are the Yaris and Yaris Cross. They look nice but the rest are meh

[@bennytam5787]

My Aygo is 43mpg only(air conditioner always on)，can't reach 61mpg

[@8bitnitwit]

I bought a well-maintained 2013 model recently and it leaks everywhere when it rains. Gear linkage feels flimsy, like it's been made from wire coathangers. Indicator stalk has stopped working properly. Definitely not manufactured to Toyota's usual high standards. It does drive well in the city though.

[@v.kut7307]

Does not sound so well maintained, mine from 2012 no issues with leakage or flimsy gear linkage, if you mean wobbly gear stick that is standard. Mine has 130k Kilometers and the first mileage indicator broke at 60K KM. Btw. I don't think mine is well maintained either.

[@Jacob29nufc]

I'm thinking about one of these, but I'm worried about the boot leaking ... 😕

[@gabrielkjellgren7567]

Warning, some brun allot of oil! My burns but not so much yet 😅

[@chriswatts1680]

Has it a belt or chain drive?

[@petergroverd6626]

CHAIN.

[@PrincessZahraaa]

How do you adjust the driver seat height?

[@GoogleGebruiker]

You can't

[@ts4571]

Is Toyota Aygo same as C1

[@GoogleGebruiker]

Yes

[@EA-58]

Love my C1

[@NightShooter87]

Love my Aygo

[@GoogleGebruiker]

Used to love my 107. Ran into fuel theft, then some fuel pump issues, long story short I switched to a Ford Fiesta. More stable car and less noise on the highway. Can't match the fuel economy unfortunately.

[@DavidandNinette]

show the car...NOT yourself

[@jimcaddis9417]

Residuals! LOL

[@Arman-tm1kz]

As a toyota mechanic, dont buy this death trap shitbox. The engines tend to drink oil like there is no tomorrow, rear lights will contain water over time, trunk will leak over time, rear brake slave cylinders go bad all the time and the rear wheel bearings might too.

[@ibextone2186]

Which is your advisable model to buy

[@Arman-tm1kz]

@@ibextone2186 newer model Aygo KGB40 is a lot better in every way, Aygo X, Yaris models are usually trouble-free as well All depends on what type of car you want and what your budget is.

[@MadLFC]

With the exception of minor water ingress which has been cured, this "death trap shitbox" has been a dependable runabout for my wife for the past six years.

[@Arman-tm1kz]

@@MadLFC water? inside your 3rd brake light, rear lights or inside the whole rear interior? the KGB10 leaks water in the rear everywhere, if it doesnt now, wait a bit longer, it will eventually, they all will, and they will keep doing it over and over

[@Arman-tm1kz]

@@ibextone2186 the KGB40 is a much better Aygo honestly, the 1KR engine is much better (cured the engine oil consumption problem) and chassis is much improved overall. The new Yaris 1.5 hybrid is a great car as long as you dont let it sit too long, battery is super small so if you only drive once every week and short distances mostly
