Pros	Cons
Excellent reliability, as you'd expect of a Toyota	Noisy on the motorway
Very economical to fuel and inexpensive to run	So-so Euro NCAP safety rating
Easy to drive and park	Small boot, even for a city car

Quick Summary

The Toyota Aygo (2014-2022) is a compact, efficient, and reliable city car, designed to compete with models like the Fiat 500 and VW Up. This second-generation model, which debuted in 2014 and ceased production in 2022, maintained its predecessor's small footprint and low running costs while adopting more distinctive styling. Praised as an excellent used car for new drivers, it's powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, offering impressive real-world fuel economy often exceeding 50mpg. It’s particularly easy to drive and manoeuvre in urban environments, handling bumps well for its size, though it can feel strained and noisy on motorways.

Available in both three and five-door configurations, the Aygo is a strict four-seater, providing adequate space upfront but limited room in the rear and a small 168-litre boot with a high loading lip. The interior is straightforward and functional, with some models offering optional colour-coded accents. While it lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it features a responsive seven-inch touchscreen with a reversing camera, and some versions include an electrically operated retractable canvas roof. Running costs are notably low, benefiting from excellent fuel efficiency, low VED for older models, and a timing chain engine that reduces maintenance expenses.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, new drivers, those seeking a reliable, efficient, and easy-to-drive city car for urban use, or buyers prioritising low running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising motorway refinement, spacious rear seats/boot, a more premium interior feel, or advanced smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Aygo if: You're on a budget, a new driver, or seeking a reliable, efficient, and easy-to-drive city car for urban use with low running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise motorway refinement, more spacious rear seats or boot, a more premium interior feel, or advanced smartphone integration like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

Competitive Position: The Toyota Aygo (2014-2022) stands out as a highly reliable, economical, and easy-to-drive city car, particularly appealing to budget-conscious buyers and new drivers. While its urban focus means it's less refined on motorways and offers limited rear space and boot capacity compared to some rivals, its low running costs, excellent reliability, and straightforward functionality make it a compelling choice in the compact car segment.
