Toyota Aygo (2014-2022) Pros and Cons
| 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 for urban driving and short commutes. This second-generation model retained the strengths of its predecessor, including its compact footprint and low running costs, whilst adding more playful exterior styling and modern features. Available in three-door and five-door versions (later five-door only), the Aygo offers decent front space but cramped rear seating as a strict four-seater. The 168-litre boot is small and difficult to access, though the interior is straightforward and well laid out with optional colour-coded inserts adding appeal.
Powered by a single 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine producing 68bhp (later 71bhp), the Aygo accelerates from 0-62mph in around 14 seconds and averages more than 60mpg, easily returning over 50mpg in real-world driving. An automated manual transmission is available, though the manual gearbox with its light clutch and easy shift is more popular. Around town, the Aygo excels with excellent manoeuvrability and comfort, but struggles at higher speeds where the engine becomes noisy and strained. Running costs are exceptionally low, with no VED on pre-April 2017 models, inexpensive servicing around £145, and small tyre replacement costs. The timing chain engine eliminates costly belt replacement concerns, and insurance sits in groups six to nine.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable city car, new drivers, those prioritising low running costs and excellent reliability, and urban commuters.
Not ideal for: Drivers undertaking frequent motorway journeys, those requiring a spacious boot, or buyers seeking premium badge appeal or superior driving dynamics.

The Verdict
You should buy the Aygo if: You're a budget-conscious buyer seeking a reliable city car, a new driver, prioritising low running costs and excellent reliability, or an urban commuter.
Consider alternatives if: You undertake frequent motorway journeys, require a spacious boot, or seek premium badge appeal and superior driving dynamics.
Competitive Position: The Toyota Aygo (2014-2022) is a strong contender in the used city car market, offering outstanding reliability, exceptional value, and remarkably low running costs. Whilst it may not match rivals like the Volkswagen Up for premium feel or the Hyundai i10 for expert ratings, its Toyota reliability, affordability, and ease of ownership make it an excellent choice for budget-conscious buyers and new drivers. The optional Funroof adds distinctive character, and the timing chain engine eliminates costly long-term maintenance concerns, making it a sensible and dependable option for urban driving.

What people say
Excellent condition, great specification, very good condition throughout. Low milage, engine bay looks like brand new, valeted man needs praise for his great work. One of very few Automatic Aygos.
Great little car. Well built. Very reliable. Bit quirky to look at but that’s part if the charm
Absolutely fell in love with this car the moment I saw it on your website. Previously had an Aygo , but prefer this model. The colour is stunning with the black roof and black alloys.
Very nippy and extremely economical, I would recommend this as a city car to anyone.
Good overall but could do with GPS map on stereo
