"Go Fun Yourself" is the unfortunate tag line for the second generation of Toyota's Aygo. But whether or not you think these words are marketing genius or borderline offensive, does the new Aygo offer small car buyers anything new?
Well, with around 20 competitors in this busy sector, it needs to.
Looks wise it is pleasing on the eye, with an attractive X shape frowning across the front. The rear is perhaps less dramatic, and the accentuated back wheel arches will be an acquired taste.
Inside, the dashboard delivers wins and losses, with some nice design features offset with some cheaper looking elements.
Space-wise, the driver and front passenger have plenty of legroom, but limited space in the back seat means larger passengers will not be happy bunnies. This aspect compares poorly to the Hyundai i10 and VW UP, both of which offer a good amount of rear passenger space.
The boot has also been criticised for being too small.
Lumpy gear changes and modest acceleration from the noisy one litre engine (the only option) also detracts from the Aygo's desirability.
Ride quality, however, has been praised, with suspension that makes light work of bumps and pot holes.
This Czech Republic built car is available in the UK for £8,595 – with a very basic entry-level spec.
But if you're not too worried about carrying more than two people and don't do a one-ton shop every month, this car amounts to a decent runabout, with built-in Toyota reliability that, with luck, won’t have you calling your breakdown cover provider every few months.
