Toyota Aygo

Performance

A 1-litre 67bhp petrol is nippy and has enough power on the motorway. 1.4-litre 54bhp diesel has more pull in the mid-range. Semi-auto box is optional.

Driving

Ride isn't great and cornering is poor.

Feel

Wind and road noise intrude at speed.

---

Price

Priced between the similar Citroen C1 and Peugeot 107. Running costs will be low and residuals are strong.

Quality

Looks and feels good, and mechanics should be fine.

Safety

Front airbags and ABS with EBD are standard.

---

Space

Four adults will fit in fine, but the boot is tiny. 50/50 folding rear seats extend this somewhat though.

Equipment

CD player is standard, and that's about all. Metallic paint and aircon are options.

Alternatives

Citroen C1, Peugeot 107, Kia Picanto

---

Pros

Quirky styling, well built, cheap.

Cons

Firm ride, poorly refined, mean specs.
