The REV Test: First Cars. Skoda Citigo vs Toyota Aygo vs Hyundai i10
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- It’s a pretty exciting time when you’re looking to buy your first car.
You’ll probably want something fun, affordable to buy and run, with low insurance groups and good fuel economy. You'll also want something that's easy to drive and manoeuvre, and that comes with a decent amount of safety kit.
If you're looking to tick all those boxes, Racing driver Vicki Butler-Henderson, Millennial motoring journo Rachael Hogg, and mum Erin Baker (REV!) are testing three of the UK's most popular and best first cars - the Skoda Citigo, Hyundai i10 and Toyota Aygo - based on how people search for them at Auto Trader.
They're looking at how easily all three cars can fit into your lifestyle, covering practicality, connectivity, and ride and handling, as well as looking at Black Box insurance, and how you can test your driving on the Aviva app.

why does everyone look at these cars as being first cars? these cars are good for anyone because they are cheap to buy and cheap to run and repair. the only reason for having a big car is if you're the type of guy who is constantly moving a lot of shit around, or if you have a big family. i've been driving for well over 10 years now, but if i had to get a new car, i would probably go for one of these because they are so cheap in comparison to other cars. has anyone seen the price of petrol these days?
33LB or the stupid get big cars for looks and feel better than everyone else, I have a citigo and I’m 25
MrAleo or maybe people just want nice cars? You come across as an ignorant little bastard.
Sour grapes
@@riseld4 how is it sour? I know so many people who drive big cars to placate their massive insecurities. would those not be the sour people instead?
@@33LB No, by definition sour grapes is exactly as the parable describes, the fox couldn't reach the grapes and so it rationalises this failure by saying they were sour anyway
Same thing with people that delude themselves with cars. They cant afford the luxury of a bigger car and so they rationalise the cheaper smaller ones, like the first comment did
Expensive, unreliable, insecure, these are the typical rationale people who can't afford these cars use
My 1993 Micra has height adjustable seat belts :3
Because a 17 year old can afford an 8k+ car
I buyed This car than i was 18 years old With my own money. You can get a Credit from skoda directly you pay 150€ per Month and than its yours:)edit: you need to pay the 150€ for 5 years every month
@@communismdoggo4073 do you regret this decision yet?
@@Anonymous13448 Absolutly not. I love this car and my GF too. We have two children and we get still everything with us the Boot is big enough for the stroller. We pay 60€ tax in a year and the gar needs just so little fuel its only sipping 😂
Then there's the insurance. If they can get any...
I have exactly the same one as the green one citigo in the video. It is a year 2019 but it doesnt have bluetooth, but i can fit four girls in there and that is everything that matters😂
Great reviews - I suspect the i10 would be a bit more grown up than the other two, having driven that and the Aygo. The Citigo is very solid and good quality though.
PS these cars are not just great for first time buyers, but for those of us who park on street and are downsizers. I used to have big saloon cars and wouldn't now swap my Honda Jazz for ANYTHING.
Having driven a Citigo to Germany and back with bags for 2 people go for the Skoda.I been driving around for 6 months with a big smile on my face.
I'll go for the i10
I’m surprised you didn’t mention that the rear windows of the Citigo cannot be wound down. This is very important for buyers to know and is a glaring omission from your review.
neither can the aygo's
Im 35 im gonna get the purple one. Zero fucks given. Give me that abnoxious beauty. I want the people of leeds to see me coming. Theyre gonna need it. Driving in leeds is a nightmare
I have the same toyota aygo. It's amazing how many people look at a car because of the color, like driving an exotic car. The car is a real head turner in purple and black
I passed my test recently and was originally planning to get a used VW Polo or Micra but the insurance was to high. So instead I found a used 2015 Aygo X-pression with the media system and alloys for £6700 with 9k miles on the clock, picking it up on Saturday.
StormRider2 £6700???? Don’t do it!!
So expensive
Aygo is a brilliant little car, I just saw an Aygo mk1 2007 with 283k miles and it's still going strong !!
I spent £900 on my first car. 2010 Vauxhall Agila. Definitely too much money spent, ouch
Love these videos of having fun.
Especially the ladies here have such distinct personality
Never mind new drivers - I’m 43 years old, been driving for 26 years and have just bought myself a 2018 Hyundai i10 1.2! Very pleased with it so far.
I did consider the Toyota Aygo but despite the brilliant engine I didn’t like the interior cost cutting measures.
“First car” puts me off
I’m a mum looking for a small reliable to get me too and from work and school. I had a vw Passat and it was so unnecessarily big for my needs so going the other end to getting a tiny car 😅
Reliability is a big factor
I like Toyota Aygo & Hyundai i10
Good to see it actually getting broken down properly and saying the pros and cons of allthree
Toyota! Always the best! 👌
I have the aygo and only can say: is a wonderful car
i own an aygo 2016 edition and its absolutely amazing, great to drive and really responsive, very safe and practical and looks amazing
I considered all three of these but decided on a Citigo. Not in that colour though. Looking at it for too long would leave you with spots in front of your eyes!
Aygo forever!! The best car..
Citigo or up for me, aygo is just too small boot is so much smaller than citigo and rear leg room is not very good plus aygo is smaller than citigo by a fair bit
Butler Henderson, you made a right balls of that parking manoeuvre!
I'd go for the i10. 4 doors, lots of kit, 5 year warranty, a refined cabin and drive. But get the 4-cylinder 1.2L. Those 3-cylinder lawnmower engines suck.
Done 68K in the previous i10 model which is less refined than this new one and it's held up very well. No rattles and nothing worn out - all very reliable. I'd have less faith in a 3-cylinder that's had the nuts thrashed off it just to deliver acceptible day-to-day performance.
Just bought a 3 year old i10 like the one in the video but with the 1.2 litre engine. I've downgraded from a 2.2 litre engined car so I'm glad that I avoided the 1.0 litre!
out of them 3 id have the aygo, but not in that colour
Great video. Great presenters. Vbh is a legend, in the game years and a total pro.
My sister has a Citigo and it’s just dead. Much older VW Fox has a whole lot more punch
I really like the go/me/up but the mobile on the dash is just too much faff. The i10 is such a proper little car. Loved the new rotating format gives you all so much more scope and gets VBH out of her comfort zone 😁 The injection of a little bit of fun and silliness works too. It already looks like this series will be a notch up on the last 😃 roll on Friday 👍 PS with the weather on the turn a pure EV winter test would be a good one to see how short the range really is in freezing temps. Tasteful Christmas jumpers optional 😁
I sat in an i10 yesterday at a Hendy car supermarket, its really comfortable, lots of creature comforts, nowhere near as small as they look from outside, decent space between the driver and passenger and plenty of room in the back. Really good little cars!
PCP, isnt that a drug? What does that mean?
PCP = Personal Contract Plan, which basically means you can either trade the car in for a new model after the end of the contract, buy it outright or hand it back and walk away.
Personal Contract Purchase, there's also PCH which is Personal Contract Hire.
It's pretty much the same as old fashioned HP Finance but lower monthly payments and a large balloon payment at the end should you want to keep the car.
I buyed My skoda citigo by a skoda Dealer (What a suprise) and if you do every Inspektion and repairing in a skoda repair shop youre warranty dont stop and if youre car broke down you can call skoda and they pick you up and bring you to the next shop and if the repairing is going to Long you get a car for this time for free its like the ADAC But only from skoda:)
Ps: im a german so top speed is Important the skoda is Running always 170km/h and on Good Days 180km/h and you can Tune this car so nice *-* mine is red with black tinted windows black tail lights and black rimps it looks so nice i have a sport exhaust under it and it sounds cool like Not to loud but not quiet next step is a turbo for this bad boy:)
I think buying used is a far better bet for a first car? Would you want to be worrying about finance as a teenager? Or keeping residual values? Get a 15 year old Japanese hatchback, change the oil yourself and crash it about until you have more experience.
RoobehTunes sure, I got a brand new 2017 up! when I passed my test last year, and even though I do like it and it has some good entertainment features (like an iPhone dock USB port), I feel like the same money could've bought a slightly bigger car that would be more fun to drive. I feel like a new car is a bad investment in most cases, but especially when buying this kind of car... I mean, I really don't want to be ungrateful and I'm very aware of being priveleged to even be able to drive, but mine was about €14.000 and it still feels like a very basic and boring car to drive, and those little naturally aspirated 3 cylinders get horrible fuel economy on the highway (worse than in the city). It drops to about 38 UK MPG at 75 mph, which is probably worse than most bigger 4 cylinders + it's working much harder (4k rpm) at those speeds, which makes the ride... not the most comfortable/quiet.
I also don't know wether or not they're gonna keep on running for very long / are reliable. It's obviously a fact smaller engines (especially less-balanced 3 cyl's) need to work harder.
Yeah idk €14k could've been a nice, funner, bigger vehicle I suppose. But I'm still very happy to have a car!
@@arnemaeschaelck5012 those fuel figures seem about right. They just aren't set up to be economical at motorway speeds. I owned two cars with three cylinder engines and have had no mechanical problems with them outside of engine vibration to cabin. €14k is enough to get a used up!, with effectively with free fuel, tax, and insurance for a year. And then like you say, a more substantial vehicle is also a realistic proposition, especially if like me, you spend most of your miles at motorway speed. Thanks to gearing and aerodynamics, the larger car could be cheaper to fuel as well as buy.
RoobehTunes I thought about this a couple of days ago, and the perfect engine for every situation just doesn't exist... A 6 cyl will be smooth on the highway, but will return horrible economy in the city. A 4 cyl is really an inbetween (I've seen very efficient, and worse-than-V6 ones), not great in the city, but not too bad either, comfortable and quiet at 70-100 km/h, but once you start pushing it past 120, some just start losing mpg's because of the drag, aerodynamics, and so on, ... And 3 cylinders, well, they're great and the happiest in the city, but on the highway... But I mean, most of them are like 1.0 or 1.2's, which mean they basically won't produce enough torque to keep on pushing on the highway. When I first got my up, I was surprised I got 5,7l/100km (50 mpg UK) out of that thing, always packed with 4 adults and I don't drive too gramma-ish. But since I took it to college (50% highway), I returned only 43 UK mpg on good days and 39 on my absolute worst (all 3 are combined). Up! is indeed not too refined, it literally wobbles and vibrates quite a bit on idle (idle is set a little too low in my opinion, Twingo and smart idle at 1k rpm, up is set to 800).
City cars are just the number one thing people think of for young drivers, but they're meant for... city driving. People drive them everywhere these days, and that's not what they're made for. In Italy, young drivers can't even drive cars over 55 kW, which is practically nothing.
And indeed, like we both said, €14k could've bought a *very* nice, let's say, €10k used car, that's bigger, quieter, smoother, and has some of the great features I'd like (handles to hold on to on ceiling, armrest, not seeing your car's paint on the inside of the doors, automatic windows, actual cupholders, something that tells you your fuel economy/km to empty, at least a coolant temp gauge (up doesn't even have that), ...).
If you spend the other €4k on let's say repairs in the next 5 years (which is a little dramatic, probably won't be that much), I think I'd be more satisfied. A new car isn't flawless either: mine loves to sip oil (1 liter/5000 km) and the fuel pump and relay have gone out (warranty). But I mean my parents had the final say and they felt more comfortable with a new car. I just don't think it's the best investment on earth... :)
I am 43 and have a 16 year old Honda Jazz and is the best car I have had (better than my Octavia TDI DSG auto). I service it myself and and dead easy to maintain.
A really funny review, excellent :-))
Great video and great content and great informative video and keep up the great content @AutoTrader
The Aygo is not from 2005 lmao that's the old Aygo. By that logic you could say the Corolla is from the 70s...
100% CitiGo.
Citigo is cheapest and interior isnt so cheap as it seems. The others are prettier but expensive compare to skoda citigo. For me as new driver I search maintance, handling...... Cheap everything, hahaha.
Rachel hogg from pimp my beans?
The Skoda (VW up!) is soooo good to drive! That is big enough reason to choose it. It's also cheap, looks great, and parts are easy to find.
Epic review.
The Skoda Citigo is amazing to drive, I’ve just bought one a month ago. The 60hp isn’t as slow as many reviewers claim either, I take mine on 70mph roads most days and it handles it perfectly, it sometimes lacks some oomph for overtaking but around town it’s pretty damn good, mpg is insane too, can get 50mpg even in heavy traffic and 60+ on faster roads.
Try it around twisty country roads - I usually find bigger more powerful cars disappear in my rear view mirror.
fatbelly27 yep, funnily enough I actually took mine on a long stretch of country road and it handled it really well
Small cars are great fun, not quick but they make you smile, and that mpg is something special.
4:17 Fuel economy are all false claim, with these cars the best you can get is between 41 to 42 mpg include Nissan Micra.
That's rubbish I get 55mpg anywhere, And on a run 60 to 65 no problem.
@@tonyrobinson362 mpg US or UK ? if 65 mpg UK that is imposable, even Hybrid car could not get that. even in US your claim is still false sorry, I had Micra 2012, Hyundai i10 2010, Aygo 2013, Aygo 2016, and Corolla Hybrid 2020, Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid 2019. None of them get that not even close, Expect Corolla and Ioniq and both are Hybrid . .
vicky acted like a teenager,it added much more flavour
La Citigo e' un'auto seria da usare dappertutto ! E' una Skoda : concreta, solida, semplice , facile e con un bel bagagliaio e gli bastano 60 hp!
lol did she really do that?
VERY IMPRESSIVE. I LIKE THE FACT THAT ALL THE CARS ARE WELL PRESENTED.
I loved how she parked the Hyundai.
I wonder why Hyundai dont produce a 2 door i 10 like other two ???
4 doors is very handy for carrying shopping and boxes etc. Would never bother with a 2 door.
The research and development costs would be a bit higher if there was a 2/3 door to add to the range. Hyundai perhaps decided against it for that reason, a sensible business decision. Having a couple of rear doors is very handing for lobbing stuff in the back when you’re not carrying rear seat passengers. I sometimes stick bags of shopping in the rear footwell if I want them to stay upright.
@@mattw8332 yes buts it's also an extra option for a car thief to break in.
@@themanftheworld8439 Hyundais aren’t exactly at the top of a car thief's hit list. 😁
Typical VAG, stingy warranty on the Skoda and if it wasn't for the Asian car manufacturers they'd be giving you less.
Giving 3 years is probably keeping them awake at night, back up your product or get out of the game. Mitsubishi are giving 10 years on some of their models.
Three women who all do their impression of Chris Goffey, the most boring beard that ever lived; but only if you forgot William Woollard.
Fuck getting something this expensive and lets be honest, crap, Just get a £1,000 GOOD car instead.
Great car i 10
I don't know how Vicki kept a straight face at times during this video! These are great cars but 0-60 in 14 seconds - I'd love to know what she was thinking! Really helpful review though, even if you're 40 something and downsizing...(not that that's me of course)
The short haired woman has the most grating of voices.
used to be a dude that's why lol
You are so funny love it 😚
Toyota just looks crazy 🤪
The only thing I like about the Citigo is the colour.
I don't. It would make my eyes hurt.
I keep away from the citigo tbere death traps
I agree. I don't need a reversing camera on a 3.5M long car. My wife seems to want a reversing camera on a car that small !
A bit conspicuous that there was no information about RANGE ?
I have a peugeot 107 , Toyota aygo engine inside , and i love the car.....
Skoda for me 👍🏻
Skoda is the worst
Toyota insurance group 8 !!!
I believe the Peugeot and Citroen versions are in a lower group. For some reason.
So VW Up and Skoda Fabia are in another class ? Or Fiat 500? I always look at them as in the same small city hatchback cars.
I'll take Vicki-Anne every time.
super helpful thank you
Lol Goodwood Motor Circuit they stopped at
Bit out of touch aren't they.
Thank you ladies great job
Drive an UP since 2012. Zero problems. It really is a fantastic car, and fitted with good tires it is enormous fun, unless you drive uphill. No hills in Holland however...
If the UP is available, I pick it instead of our MX5 NC (well, if the sun is shining...) or Mazda 3.
Great review chaps
Here for Erin and Vicky.
Can't listen to the other one.
Why? Rachel is very good at reviewing in the videos I've seen her in
Picanto gt line S or fiat 500 lounge
thanks girls...
I'd really like a VW up!. I've been a fan of them for ages 😂
Privately educated women reviewing cars just doesn't work.
But privately educated men, like Clarkson, are fine?
TT
2:00 loool, look at that handbrake... 🥴🥴
Super review as always, keep it up ladies!
VHi n
Парковка просто чудо )))
Were is vw up?????
Under the Skoda badge
I have a Citigo, but I looked at the Up. The same but just nicer inside. The Seat version is identical to the Skoda apart from the badges.
Skoda is better than others
Skoda is the worst
Citigo is an all rounder.
The first question what car use less petrol when you driving? Second question about quarantee and car finance? How much is intress who give better deal? And next question about price .I'm sure skoda citigo is the cheapest.That what i was looking for when i was bought it.It very intresting when people show few cars in the same time.Because when you want to buy that you just check 2-3 dealers and that all....And afterwards when you see other cars you ask yourself is my choise was right? I didn saw peogeot i didnt saw kia or citoroen .....And it's very good to see all of them in one video.
Shitty cars but awesome drivers.,..girl driving Skoda is beauty 😍
Beauty ? You serious ?
@@stecazh Her airbags makes me feel safe if you know what i mean.
O yeah.. you would be safe with those :-)
My first car is a focus ST :)
Are we just going to ignore the fact that these women are out of the house, and to top it off they are driving! Women for pity’s sake don’t drive!
Ah yes. That Harry Enfield sketch.
"Heiundai" :-) das heißt doch "Jundai" :-)
I'd take a Mitsubishi Mirage or Ford Ka+ over any of these
Interesting choices. The Mirage gets negative reviews generally. The Ka+ better, especially for ride.
@@funnyfiveminutes lol I just a need a cheap reliable car with 4 electric Windows, a nat-asp engine, power folding door mirrors and Android auto aha
No way is a Mirage better than an i10. The Mirage is probably the worst car in its class
@@PaulHojda I disagree
The Mirage (or space star as it's called here) is actually significantly pricier than the i10 so the i10 with its limitless standard equipment list is a more valuable option at least where I live
The new Aygo is _hideous_
You mean the best and most reliable? 😎
A 14 second 0-62. How is that even legal? No way that would be allowed on US roads and if it was, it wouldn't sell. That is dangerously slow. No chance you'd be able to merge into highway traffic in a slug like that. The slowest car sold in America is currently the Nissan Kicks with a 10.5 second 0-60
Gibberish talk
Those are three awful choices for a first car, but good video 👍
Agreed. A first car should be second hand
yeah you can buy a 4 year old Citroen C1 with 15,000 miles for under £3K nowadays so no one's gonna pay 3 times that for a new one
