Toyota Aygo (2005 - 2014) 1.0 VVT-i Go (AC) 5d MMT (2011/11) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Quirky!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They are surprised at how much room there is in the back as it looks so small from the outside.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, because it does everything I want from a car.

What are you likely to buy next?

No idea, too far away to think about.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£10,500

When did you buy the car?

July 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, my husband is very good at bartering and also I was in a good strong position as a cash buyer.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a small, cheap to run automatic car and this fitted the bill.

What was the dealer like?

Very good.

What's it like to drive?

Very nice to drive though sounds quite rauncy when accelerating away.

What's it like to park?

Extremely easy to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Initially, I had a problem with water ingress into the boot. I then discovered that this had been a problem on earlier models but had been resolved. I was disappointed but that said the dealer arranged for my car to be collected and a replacement left. They kept the car for three days and delivered it back water tight. I believe that the water had penetrated through where the rear parking sensors had been fitted prior to delivery to the garage.

What's most practical about your car?

Very economical to run, £20 a year road tax, cheap insurance and good mpg.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Built in satnav and bluetooth.
