First problem was the clutch going but I can drive stupid sometimes so it was to be expected apart from that this car has taken a battering from me constantly putting miles on the clock as a delivery driver I can average 800 to 1000 miles per week. It is fantastic and fuel cheapest car I've ever had to run as for servicing I do by myself which cuts costs down quite a bit I've never changed the brakes yet but after 60k constant use they are wearing now. Oh and it's small- way to small. That's my only problem with this car other than that it's great.

I bought this as my first car and it has been ideal. Very cheap to run; £20 annual road tax, cheap insurance and very good on petrol. It's nippy and easy to park. The only problem I have had is the brakes, about 3 months after buying I had to replace the two back brake pads at a cost of £250. As it's only a 1.0 it lacks power when pulling off and on hills. With a full car (only 4 seats) it's very sluggish. The boot is also very small but can fit a surprising amount. The car also reaches down quite low and scrapes along speed bumps if I have someone in the back (even when slowing to a stop before hand!) Other than that, this is a great cheap car.

I am one of 5 owners I know of who have water ingress into the boot (been back to dealers time and again), front window and top right edge of windscreen. Water in light units from new, told it would go away if I left the lights on long enough (yeah right) - warm air holds more water than cold. Also takes longer to de-ice inside more than outside. Love the car for its driving etc but not the water. Can't go through even a hand held car wash, driver gets wet. Have written to Toyota HQ and been told to go back to dealers...again!

Before buying, I wanted a cheap-to-buy, cheap-to-run second hand car with central locking, electric windows and air-con. The AYGO fitted that list perfectly.. with the added bonus of being surprisingly fun. I've owned mine for nearly two years now and it has been cheap to run and service. I drive carefully and steadily to achieve 54mpg on my commute and up to 70mpg in good conditions on a long motorway drive, which means my 35 litres of fuel always get me 400-440 miles but could go up to 500. Comfort and practicality isn't the best, nor is it the worst, but it has all I need to get myself and my bags around.

This must be the worst Toyota ever made. There is 48,000 kilometers on the clock. I have had the car for 2 years and it is used to drive kids to school etc. In the 2 years I have had this car I have had to replace the entire computer board, get a new clutch, fix a leak on the roof, replace the back passenger window because it fell off, it needs a service every 5 months and the usual brake pads, new tires etc... This is an awful car, it would have been cheaper to rent a top of the range BMW. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!

Has proved to be an excellent purchase. We bought it initially for our teenage children. It has always been reliable with no breakdowns or major repairs required and now has covered over 50,000 miles. On a recent 300 mile trip it was surprisingly comfortable and the journey cost only £27 in petrol. It is very economical to run. We have been so impressed with it, that we have just ordered an additional Aygo (new 2014 model) for our own use as second car.

Clutch needs replacement after 12500 miles, Toyota custom service may give any goodwill if you commit to have checks at the dealer, which quoted £355.20. So go away, or pay £657 for replacement.

Superb little car, great build quality, extremely nippy and fun to drive - I really can't fault it. This was bought as a second car for my 60 mile a day commute and it handles it no problem. My main car is an Alfa and im seriously considering ditching it for another one of these

Bought this because I was looking for a low cost commuting/city car that looked okay. Generally pleased with the way it drives - very nippy around town and also good on motorways (considering its size). The cabin is comfortable and surprisingly spacious and its reasonably cheap to run. I'm afraid that's where the positives finish though. I purchased from the Toyota dealerships in Chesterfield and it was the worst buying experience I have ever had, from beginning to end. Have also had quite a few issues with the car - exhaust, brakes (very early on), water pump, clutch and also with the bodywork. The paint started to blister almost immediately after purchase - the dealership tried to tell me it was my fault for washing the car with hot water/driving in snow (grit)/using pressure washers. I've had problems ever since with it - paint on some areas 'crazing', the lacquer blistering and then peeling off in several areas. It is a 2006 reg, but only has 40K on the clock - the paint problems started at around 25K and I really wouldn't have expected this (compared to other cars I've had). I'd opted for the Toyota as I thought it would be better quality than the 106 or C1, but this hasn't been the case. Its doubtful I would buy Toyota again, and a certainty that I would ever use the dealership again.

Gearbox front seal failed 30 days after end of warranty - oil on clutch plate and thus clutch slipping. Toyota only prepared to cover 80% of cost despite low mileage (8,000 miles) and car only 30 days out of warranty. This is a Toyota supplied component, shoud not fail so early, and Toyota not too interested.

The car has done me proud, i even managed a road trip around belguim holland germany and france on one tank of fuel ( 1300 miles ) which has left me astonished and amazed that a car was capable of doing this. In general the savings i am making on this this car is great, tax exempt and cheap to insure, toyota was onto something great here

Had a rust patch appear on the "b" pillar which was repaired under warranty without an issue (good result from toyota). Found the service parts very expensive (diesel and air filter etc.) Had a diesel leak due to injector seals. Car out of warranty by 11 months so ended up repairing myself due to ridiculous repair quotations from all parties. (got parts from citroen dealer due to being half the price of toyota dealer quotation. - engine is peugeot anyway.)(absolute nightmare of a job to fix due to the amount of parts to be removed before seals could be replaced) Toyota only fitted this engine to this model for around a year and then discontinued. - was this due to the common fault of injector seal leaks from a non toyota engine? (probably)
