Toyota Aygo

[MattBombHead]

I'm considering buying a diesel Toyota Aygo, so was wondering if anyone had one, or knew of anyone with one...?

Basically, what are they like? How much is the servicing etc..?

Why a diesel as a matter of interest? My son has a Citroen C1 - same basic car as the Aygo and Peugot 107 too - petrol version and it returns over 50 to the gallon and he pays £35 a year road tax.
I test drove an Aygo and decided it was just too small and 'busy' for my tastes so i got a Yaris instead.

Basically, the diesel does 70+ mpg, still has £35 road tax, and as it runs at lower revs, should put less stress on the engine (I hope).

I have considered a C1 and also the Pug 107, because as you say, they are basically the same car.

I had one as a hire car for the last 10 days and can catagorically say they are sh1t...it was a petrol though...too small and gutless..

Forget the rev rate mate. The engine will be designed for it.
The fault many make with the petrol/diesel decision is opting for the diesel and then flogging the t!ts out of it to compensate the p!ss poor performance, thus, ruining any fuel savings.
Personally I'd recommend basing your decision on your driving style and average journey length, (since a diesel isn't so efficient over the first few miles.) Short journeys and or aggresive driving + petrol, patient driving andor longer routes = diesel.
