    Having owned the Suzuki Ignis, would go for the Aygo X, it’s build quality and drivetrain is a step up. Something you might not pick up until you’ve owned it for a while

      @Olyshka. Год назад

      Ooh I wanted to go for Suzuki Ignis, just because I thought that it is more practical and has all the features that Aygo X has, and it seems has a better quality inside. Can I ask please, why would you choose Aygo X over Suzuki Ignis?

    • @matthewstier8394
      @matthewstier8394 Год назад +1

      I'm an ex Ignis owner, I had the top spec with all wheel drive. It's economy was incredibly good in town, not quite so good at motorways speeds relatively speaking. And I think you would find that the Ignis is much faster than an Aygo, there are three Aygos in my family and they are really slow accelerating. But the Ignis is ugly and has a cheap plasticky interior. Incredible rear seat space though, in fact it's better than my Kia Proceed shooting brake and that car is 4.6 metres long! I love the look of this new Aygo x, but it is seriously compromised by a lack of power. Put a turbo on it Toyota, make it a bit interesting...

    You asked who would take one on a road trip? I have driven mine from Gdansk to the Mediterranean three times. A little noisy at speed, but the car is comfortable and still economical cruising at 120-125, and super-stable. Suspension is wonderful. The radar cruise control makes all the difference! The CVT teaches you to drive smoothly, power is of course very limited, but it's enough to drive thousands of kms apparently - I average 4.9 crossing the Alps! Worst points are the seats lack of lumbar support, and the steering wheel's lack of reach adjustment. I bought an aftermarket armrest for mine. For the money (avoid higher trim levels, manual AC is fine and the lighter headlining feels more roomy), the car is a bargain in the current market. Very high quality, in terms of robustness, and a 10 year warranty.

      My friend's parents drove a previous gen Aygo or C1 from UK to Estonia and back, so it's possible. I took a Fiat 500 from Warsaw into the Alps. It can be done. Would I want to do it regularly? No :)

    Having owed a Duster and now an Aygo X... l find the drive better in the Augo X... the car is far more compliant on bumpy roads compared to the Duster. Remember, the base of the Aygo X is the same as a Yaris!
    The interior does not rattle like my 2021 Duster did!. Ok its certainly down on power compared to the Dacia but you do get used to it. I found the small turbo on the Duster engine annoying!! It would fidget around at 2500rpm. The aygo, although slower, is a smooth rev... at least until you rev it hard.
    I actually prefer the aygo to the duster... both cheaper build quality, but the aygo is better quality in this segment.
    Overall l am pleased with my Aygo X and the adaptive cruise control is actually great on the motorway.
    I agree this is a two person car... rear passenger space is incredibly limited, but ok for short passenger journeys and occasional use.
    Boot space is good for a city car.
    If your not a boy racer and drive sedated like myself, l think people will appreciate this incarnation of the aygo...
    It would've been better as a hybrid... but a few thousand would've been added to the price!
    Overall, you are incredibly limited in a choice of petrol city cars now, at this price.
    You have to live with these cars to really appreciate, or not, in the real world.
    Good review mind 👌

    I have the previous Aygo model and have looked seriously at this one. Other reviews often moan about how this car is small and slow- which is always a bit of a foolish point to make because the whole point of this car is that it is small, and it has a tiny engine so it will be slow. I really appreciate your review being more pragmatic about the whole thing and this has helped inform my decision much more. Thank you!

    I don't live in the city, but bought this car! I didn't buy it for break-neck performance or crying rear seated passengers, though back seat and rear doors act as a great 'alternative boot'. I find it comfortable, positive to drive, active cruise control and lane assist is fab, fuel eco great, varies from 50-62 MPG with me, depends if you fill up on E5 or shitty E10 petrol. Biggest gripe, no spare wheel, but I bought a space saver spare kit from Toyota for just £145, which reduces your boot space a bit - oh well!

    No doubt they are reliable, 160.000km or 7year guarantee. I owned a 2007 Aygo, same engine, sold it with 170.000km with only yearly maintenance. I drove it on long trips too, all the way to southern Marroco. 8 years have gone by and I still see it being driven around. Too bad they are so expensive and the back seat so bad but you are guaranteed to have transportation for at least 10 years.

    10:19: Why is it so "absurd" for people to go with a small car on road trip?
    First: The Aygo X costs less than for example a Yaris. Not everyone can afford to buy the latter. And the car is still better than every Dacia.
    Second: People went on Roadtrips with their Familys in Fiat 500s in the 60s and 70s.

Shame Suzuki has binned the boosterjet engine.

    It is kind of brash of Toyota to not even really update the engine or give it at least a mild hybrid system while raising the price so much, as if Toyotas in general weren't too expensive for what they are nowadays. A Hyundai i10 is a vastly superior offering in the class lacking only really the adaptive cruise, which again I doubt is really a dealbreaker in city cars.

    Still wondering, why no manufacturers in Europe uses kei car system, when you can slide seats back so much, that it creates a lot of leg room and even can fit a dog, or move seats forward to significantly increase boot space. If only this is the way to push you to purchase a bigger car…
