Just driving around explaining things that all Aygo owners can probably agree on. Watch if you are looking to buy/Modify one yourself! Thanks for watching
I'm middle-aged and I'm thinking of getting one because it makes so much sense. I've been through the fast car and warp speed sports bike phase and do you know what? They just cause stress & frustration because you can rarely use the power and they drain your bank account. 90% of my driving these days is around town so what's the point of a fast car? A car like this will also stop you getting into trouble with plod. I've worked out it'll save me about £1500 a year in petrol and tax and my current car is nothing fast or exotic. The Aygo isn't perfect (no car is but) it ticks an awful lot of boxes.
Considering how small they are, I'm surprised how tall you can be and sit in them, I'm 6.3 and have had one, there are much bigger cars I have much more trouble sitting in.
You say they're slow but I disagree. It depends on the type of driving you're doing. I guarantee this will be faster than a McLaren P1 around any city.
Some advice from a mature driver; hold the steering wheel properly. You wouldn't see a racing driver holding it like you do. Be ready for an emergency because they happen quickly.
Disagree with the thrust of what you say. Long ago, round about 2012, I had the use of an Aygo for about 10 days. What I really liked about it was that it was fun to drive. The relatively low power wasn't an issue. You don't need lots of power or great performance for a car to be enjoyable and fun to drive. I own an MX5 Mk1, which proves my point.
I've got an Aygo, which is about my 15th car 🤣I live in the hills and it struggles with them, but on a straight road it pulls great, till about 40mph. I'm a touch over 6ft, the height of the car is fine, but it's getting in that I touch the steering wheel, but it's no biggy. The things that annoys me, is the glare off the dashboard onto the windscreen. The other main one is, the panels around the doors, I know it's low spec, but it's going back to the 80s. Overall though I like mine and I think they are good looking car.
Have you always been putting 99 octane also so what’s the millage that you would get in average? Also if you think this car is slow why not get stage 2 which could get your car even up to 95BHP if engine is healthy.
Can’t imagine driving this at 6”2. I’m 5”10 and struggle with mine. Couldn’t agree more on the pros, mines my first car but I’m lucky enough to ride bikes alongside driving, so I get my speed kicks elsewhere. The only con I have is that stupid hand free system that you beautifully demonstrated, must’ve found myself screaming yes or no at it numerous times. Might as well be speaking Spanish
If you ever get a front tyre blow out, you will be sitting in a farmer's field in seconds wondering how you got there. Try holding the steering wheel now and then🤣
They actually go pretty well for what they are.

Been looking at an Aygo/C1/107 as a 2nd car
The one real downside to this car is how darn noisy it gets as you pick up speed and spend more time behind the wheel.

Very nice video, but I have a question, what brand and model oh wheels do you put on your beautiful car? Thank you!

Good video. Are they 16s on your car they look smart

Is the automatic 2007 version good?
What exhaust you got on it?
Did you spray paint the car?
What about the water leaking in,, it's horrendous
