Toyota Aygo | Citroen C1 | Peugeot 107 buying guide | All you need to know to find a good one.

[@marksouthwell4490]

I had a 107, brilliant little car . 9 years of trouble free motoring and 116,000 miles on the clock. My only gripe was the exhaust as they don't last long compared to other makes . Economical, reliable, cheapish to maintain 😊 I'd definitely buy another.

[@charlesbarnett2724]

Looking to get one myself. Thank you for taking the time to make the review.👍

Thanks for watching 👍

[@alistairrobinson3865]

If you like small / go kart like cars you will love it, good luck getting one! I love mine 🙏

[@EA-58]

Love mine (c1) the sensodrive version what many people hate 😅 236.000 km's on the clock. great little motors.

[@alistairrobinson3865]

Ooh interesting always been curious about those, is the mpg still good on those?

[@EA-58]

@@alistairrobinson3865 Yes perfect

[@tomnorris1734]

The only complaint I have with them is that when you jump it over a hump back bridge or anything like that it lands really heavily on the front end.

I have newer shape aygo and absolutely love it. They’re ok with rust but you have to check the suspension as rust loves it especially rear beam, and lacquer peel on mat colours. But parts are cheap like seriously cheap and I get 57mpg with my foot 68 was my record.

Have C1 2010 easy to maintain lovely little car paint work can delaminate. Clutches are soft great review good vid

[@broahmed7744]

I have the same car same color, 70k killos on the clock, totally love this thing🥰🥰🥰

[@NightShooter87]

I've got a platinum version, it's a super little car, not problem free, but still. With the clutch, I sometimes using third gear, that it feels as though I'm riding it, so I'm extra careful with it, but it's a bit weird. I've never had any issues with any other car of vans I've driven. I live in a rural area, so they great to go round back roads, overall, it's super to drive.

[@semptexico]

Good informativ video.. it´s good help when looking for at cheap, but ok car....I have been looking for one of those 3 brands the last year.. unsure which one to buy, and it must be with a removable towbar, and that narrows the list very much.. here in Denmark, the 2012 / 2013 models cost in average around 3500-4500 pounds, Toyota's beeing a bit more expensive, and the few with very low mileage, cost more... I must go see the other videos now.. etc.. 🙂

Hi Paul what do you think of putting out a video on how to store your XK over winter. This is my first winter and would appreciate some tips.

Facebook marketplace is infested with scammers. £1300 for a 2012 Aygo with 28k is 100% a scam advert. I would expect to pay £3500 for a car of that specification

Got one with 30k mileage for less than 2 grand so not quite. Bodywork needed repainting but that's no biggie

[@hslot3276]

Hello from across the pond i see you are getting scammed too even with the brexit same gas price as in Holland lmfao . Tip before buying back hatch top site of the rubber seal pull it down to see if it started rusting already . Same goes for the door seals onlky here the bottom side is where the water stands and goes rusting . Put the handbrake on let the clutch come and see if it slips . The booth rear tire space see if it has water in it if so check the rear breaklicht seals one on the top and the two rear lights .

Bulletproof engine

[@rollthetape88]

engine made be Diahatsu (owned by toyota)

[@andy464]

what is normal oil consumption for this Aygo? Normally I change around 14,000 km to 15,000 according to the maintenance book. But you need to top up about 2L - 2,6L (that's a lot). Now I change the oil around 10,000-11,000 km (Engine oil Total Quartz Ineo ECS 5W-30) and I found this better than Toyota 5W30 oil. Today I replaced the PCV Valve, hoping that will reduce the use of oil

[@life_on_cars]

Using too much I'd say 😕

[@andy464]

I wonder what is the cause of oil consumption. Because I drive a lot of the time on fast roads

[@PhoticSneezeOne]

The 1KR-FE engine used in the Aygo, 107 and C1 are prone to oilslack buildup on the piston rings, leading to reduced compression and high oil burning rates. That´s why regular oilchanges are super important on those. You can try a professional engine flush or soak the piston tops with detergents like injection/carburetor cleaner

[@zen.life66]

Thank for that. I'm not going to buy one now 👍

[@paulwilliams4815]

i thought the engine was made by Diahatsu?

[@life_on_cars]

Toyota

[@point_and_aim1437]

I was under the impression that Diahatsu made the units for all three manufacturers too

[@nigglenoo]

Yes it is a Daihatsu designed motor with a long pedigree, but Daihatsu is a wholly owned subsidiary of Toyota (Toyota bought 51% controlling interest in 1998 then 100% in 2016).

[@GoreTheronHD]

Hi! Noob driver here, looking for an economical car, and the Aygo is one of them, but I have some questions about it, which can be a bit subjective. Like, how is the behaviour on the motorway, or long journeys? I mean, I know it's a car mainly for the city, but I'm thinking maybe I'm going to do some long trips, and some people I've talked to, told me it's an umcomfortable car, in general and especially for such tasks. I'd like to know if that's true since I haven't had the opportunity to get into one of those. Thank you.

[@life_on_cars]

It will cope with motorway because its quite high geared so the engine doesn't scream ! Comfort wise you will be OK but it's not a Rolls Royce 😅

[@GoreTheronHD]

@@life_on_cars Thank you for the quick answer! So, the engine don't suffer in general, even when is a three-cylinder? That's a suprise to hear. I thought that it was the opposite.

[@GoreTheronHD]

@@life_on_cars By the way, one thing I almost forgot. Is it possible to adjust the height of the driver seat? In some places it says it's not possible.

[@basswomper1785]

I had a basic Citroen C1 3 door equivalent for about 3 years and did 48k miles in that time. 70 mile daily commute on dual carriage/motor ways and frequent motorway journeys to London, Cardiff, Glasgow and Birmingham from York. It was quite nippy, kept up with traffic on the motorways ok but it had to be worked quite hard but it coped well. Being so small meant I felt a bit intimidated by larger vehicles at times and it did feel cross winds a bit. I found it comfortable enough. Plenty of room up front, less so in the back and boots small but the rear seats fold down. The ride not was the best and a bit noisy but good fun to drive on country roads. Regularly got 60mpg out of it. It did suffer a leak at the back as others have noted. Overall a great car for what it is and I came to this site as I am thinking of one for my granddaughter when she passes her test.

[@GlossaME]

Any engine issues? I've heard about the timing chain going noisy

[@life_on_cars]

Hello they are good for well over 100,000 miles as long as the oil has been changed annually. Good luck thanks for watching

@@life_on_cars Much appreciated 👍. Enjoy your car!

​@@life_on_cars the Dutch drive these Aygo's a lot on highways. One 2006 Aygo was thoroughly checked in 2019 at 307,000 kms (190,000 miles) and it was in great condition, no signs of rust or reliability issues in the future, the advice was to just keep driving it for as long as the owner could. Another Aygo went to 325,000 kms (201,000 miles) without issues.

It's not cheap in Serbia

[@life_on_cars]

How much would it be?

[@bojanstefanovic1906]

@@life_on_cars It costs from €2,500 (2005), which is not a small amount of money in Serbia considering the low wages and high prices, in general. Food and fuel are quite expensive for our standard. Cars were cheaper before corona and the war in Ukraine. Now the prices are much higher and stagnate or go up. Newer cars are less imported, so the prices of those that are available are increasing.

[@life_on_cars]

@bojanstefanovic1906 that's interesting. In the UK our second hand cars are also expensive at the moment

[@bobdebouwer7835]

@@bojanstefanovic1906 Yes, I guess the less money people have the more expensive it will be to get a car that has a low total cost of ownership. It's an investment to get a car that is cheap to run in the long term.
