Hyundai i10 vs Toyota Aygo vs Volkswagen Up video 4 of 4

Adam happily admitted that, ‘If the contest had been decided on style alone, the Aygo would have won hands down.’ However..

That doesn’t mean the i10 won by default, though. Yes, it looked a little conventional, but there were lots of other things to appreciate.

Toyota has a reputation for running forever. In the States, A 10 year old Hyundai in GREAT condition with 100, 000 miles can't be sold for more than a few thousand dollars. There is almost ZERO interest for the used ones. On the other hand... Toyotas sell for MASSIVE amounts. It can have rust peeking through and have 150, 000 miles, but people will still want them because they still run great and are easy to run service.

Why conduct the test of a city car on country roads?

I have a friend who is a mechanic who believes Hyundai is the most trouble free car

Adam, I agree with you that the Hyundai i10 is the best buy of these 3 cars. My main criticisms are with the gearbox (I need a firm flat hand over to the left for 1st and 2nd gears, or I risk going into 3rd) and the hard 'jolty' ride. Also, I don't find it as economical as claimed. But to sum up, a fine all-round package for the money.

I see lots of review channels favour the i10. I'm not saying it's a bad car, but why?!

[misfit]

I spoke to one of my neighbours who has 2 VW Up in his household and he said he prefers the drive though the entertainment system is poor he said. I asked because at 17 years old my car isn’t going to run forever and 2 of these would very much be on my list even though these are older I am not averse to buying an older car.

[StuieHunter]

VERY surprised he preferred the aygo over the up...

The Hyundai i10 and VW Up are neck and neck in my opinion....its personal choice (for me, I'll buy the VW Up soon...but thats just because the second hand market here for them is pretty decent in Ireland)...

I would regard the Toyota as a clear last place as it doesn't have the practicality of the other two

[gilesrobertson]

If you're spending your own money (not a loan), then the i10 is the logical choice. Forget moans about quality, free bodywork healthchecks and five year warranty and five year breakdown cover.

After my mum's KA got written off recently we had the new Aygo as a courtesy car. I thought it was pretty nice and drove well enough and felt it was quite smooth and comfortable even at 70mph. She liked it too. However, after a reading the rave reviews of the Up! She took a test drive of one and bought one!

[mdeschain]

Strange, most reviews would have the VW UP wipe the floor with the other two... the Toyota is ugly as hell, looks like a hot cross bun on wheels. The Hyundai is ok, but that's the bland one... not the UP.

[shenqiao]

But the hyudai dosendt come with side curtain airbags

[chillypacman]

Never thought I'd disagree with something like this by arguing Toyota's styling and upmarket interior should carry far more weight than it was given.

[PutinIsKing]

Hyndai replacement parts are hell expensive and lot of times unavaible, get the VW..

[randomshitking-rsk]

Nice one put the title in order of 1 - 3

[robs]

I absolutely love my VW up did this Smuck even drive the up

[erkamtekce]

i used i10 for a year and didnt like it. high consumption, low quality etc. My choice is vw up, its not flashy but absolutely assuring

[trex]

Enjoy that i10, mr engineer... it will rust more than the rebars you working with daily... i had an i10 and was full of rust after just 2 years from new. So for me is bye bye Hyundai
