I had a Peugeot 107 for 9 years (loved it ), hehe, that was quite noisy. I was going to get an Aygo/108/C1. Ended up getting a boring Suzuki celerio-feels much bigger and more mature, brilliant all-around visibility, clutch feels much better ,engine smoother , less noisy with more get up and go
@jamieaygo oh yeah, not forgetting the Alto. Originally, I was after one of those , they're actually really nice to drive . Took one for a test drive years ago. I absolutely love smaller cars IE 107, C1,Aygo , Alto . They have a lot of charm and are easy to fix and maintain. If I had lots of money I'd buy a few old 107\Aygo and have it done up as a collectable 😁
I’m looking for an Aygo or one of the derivatives for my lads first car. A mate of mine does loads of work on these as his rally club use Aygo’s a lot. He tells me they’re really reliable and easy to fix. He tells me two things to look out rear suspension supports, under springs and have a good listen to the engine. If it sounds lumpy or anything but smooth, it’s probably a sign that it’s oil level/services haven’t been looked after. Apparently the sump is small and they are prone to burn a little oil, so regular checking is essential. It doesn’t take much to get to low oil level and have a problem. What I’m not sure about is, what a good engine sounds like 😆 I guess it’s not easy to record an accurate clip of the engine noise, but I’d be interested to hear an under the bonnet recording. Thanks for your videos btw.
Thanks for dropping by, Andy. Really insightful comment, so appreciate it. I've also heard that the sumps are paper thin, ha! When I bought my Aygo, It was at 39,000 miles and had been serviced every 10k. The only things that needed doing to it before sale were to replace perishable stuff like the brake pads and wipers, etc. I think it would be a solid start for your laddo as they are super reliable and really cheap to run. from what I know, it's quite rare for people to buy one with a dud engine, so I don't think you will go too far wrong. I tend to stick with dealers rather than buying private, but I understand that private is more likely to land you a bargain. I ended up choosing the Aygo over the other derivatives purely based subjectively on looks. I do think it''s the better looker of the bunch, but to each is own.
@@jamieaygo cheers mate, good advice, I'm also looking at dealers tbh. Other lad picked his own and got a 1.8sr yaris. All great till we needed a new exhaust. They only made it for a couple of years and no aftermarket one, so ended up getting bits made 🙄 So yeah a dealer will at least offer us a warranty.
Ah, that's interesting. I've been thinking ahead about what I might drive in the future and it's interesting to hear you share your experience with the i10. You liking the rest of the car, too?
@@jamieaygo handles well and dives into corners although it's a fairly firm ride (n-line). It's very good on fuel. Best I've gotten from cold start on a 15 mile trip was 70mpg. It consistently acheives mid 60s on my work commute. (I drive like a Saint anyway) It's also quite big inside for a citycar and another thing that's good is it's very good at clearing the windscreen. gear shift is meaty which was a surprise as well. Chassis could take another 40-50hp easily.
Hi, Philip! It's not something I've been able to test, but like you, I am very curious about it. I'll see if I can get some hands-on time with one in the near future!
Which is better Toyota aygo 2007 automatic with 69000 on the clock for 2900 pounds Or a honda jazz 2008 with 33000 on the clock for 3695 pounds. Bare in mind the Toyota insure was 110 pounds a month compared to the honda 151 pounds a month. For a first time driver looking for a reliable cheap, easy to run car which one is better in your opinion.
I'm assuming the Honda is automatic, too? If that's the case you want to be looking on Google for reviews of the automatic variants of each and seeing what people say about them as I don't have any experience with automatic Aygo's. I know the Honda's have pretty good auto boxes in them but have a look about and see what owners are saying.
Yes, it does. Just your typical light rumbling on start up. If it sounds like what I've described, it should be fine. My guess would be that you'd get an engine light warning if there was something wrong with the engine.
@@jamieaygo thank you for your reply, apperantly it is normal as you said. My previous car was a mini cooper, it had a very quiet start which is why I was confused 😅
Hey, JP! Thanks for adding to this. I was considering adding some sound deadening to my MK2 Aygo too, but haven't done too much research into it. I might just give it a go.
Most of the sound comes from the boot and rear wheel arch's, I have a mk 1 peugeot 107 did the boot rear floor and arch's and inside door skins, it made a considerable difference, if you want noisey try a 2cv at 65mph, I personally dont care because for what these cost to buy and run you cannot expect rolls royce, you have to accept the fact if you want something cheap.
@@johndilloway9762 can back this up. Installing Kilmat insulation on the boot and rear wheel arches made a big difference and under the bonnet and doors made them shut with a nicer thud too. Another thing to do with the mk1 Aygos is to stick some rubber door and boot seals which significantly reduce wind noise
@@nicklol7878 Yes I agree about the extra door seals I did that at the weekend and it kills that wind noise around the doors, I also bought some 8mm carpet underlay put that over the kill mats, no need to glue it the carpets hold it in place, and also did under the rear seat as well, much better and is cheap.

I love perusing the small car offerings out there and have seen a few Celerio's and Alto's, too. Look really good offerings to be fair!

Man, I'm right there with you on the collecting!
The Air con will go down as temperature is met, use door bin for your drinks, good vid
Thank you!

Mk3 i10 is very good compared to this at higher speeds. Was so good i bought one.

Worth a look. Thank you for sharing!
It's was made as a budget car I've got one I love it for the price so reliable i won't the new one
Have you ever driven a vw up. How does it compare?

Sounds way quieter than my 107, at 70 i can barely hear someone on loudspeaker
Does it also make a sound while you turning the key/starting the engine ? Mine does and thinking of taking it to service, should I ?
Yes, it does. Just your typical light rumbling on start up. If it sounds like what I've described, it should be fine. My guess would be that you'd get an engine light warning if there was something wrong with the engine.
@@jamieaygo thank you for your reply, apperantly it is normal as you said. My previous car was a mini cooper, it had a very quiet start which is why I was confused 😅
Awesome!
I sound deadened my one, but it still hasnt made much of a difference
