    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.

  • @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 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.

    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...

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!

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.

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.

    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.

    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

    Had my 2010 aygo for 6 months, and I really cannot complain. Efficient, cheap and very reliable. My car was vandalised by being burnt, the wiring was ruined, the front and side bumper was melted. I paid around a total of 300 and the whole car was sorted. There’s only three spark plugs/ignition coils for these cars and I had to replace them, of which was also very cheap compared to other cars. As a first car, this car is perfect! For insurance pay around 2000 for myself and wife!

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

  • @TRASHoftheTITANS
    @TRASHoftheTITANS Před 3 lety +11

    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!

      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.

    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

    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

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.

    Good review mate, I had a 2011 Citroen C1, a brilliant little car, just like the Aygo is, cheap to run and is reliable, my only criticism is the really small boot and the Wheelbrace tool for removing the wheel nuts is pretty useless if you ever need to use it, it rounded on the first nut so I had to call the RAC out to change my wheel!

    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).

    Initially I thought "Yeah I'll use him for a month or two until I can get myself something a bit more fruity". 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. But that engine is pretty much bullet proof, sips fuel and the handling is solid enough that you can have a lot of fun round a nice B-road!

    I was late learning to drive and I got a 2015 Aygo Excite on a work salary sacrifice scheme. it was bright orange and I got all the add on's like the leather seats and keyless start. 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.
