A flawed city car – or a tiny SUV? 2024 Toyota Aygo X review

The Toyota Aygo X is one of the last small petrol cars you can buy with a manual gearbox – but how does it compare to the Kia Picanto and Hyundai i10? Well we're going to bloomin' find out. Join me for an in-depth review of the little Toyota, including a look at its turning circle, road manners, interior space, infotainment, back seat space and general awesomeness. Or is it?

I have the exclusive in an auto and love it, I opted for the jbl upgrade aswell it's a brilliant little car and I regularly go from west Midlands to glasgow and the fuel economy is excellent.

I drove my AYGO X Pure, from London to John O’Groats and back. It was decent. Eagerly eats up the miles. Effortless and enjoyable drive topping out at 75 MPG in the steady cruise.

I wish 'tin cans' would be produced nowadays. Even the smallest cars became way too luxurious.

They're a great little runabout, very popular with my neighbours (I live in a retirement complex). Dead easy to park, great round town. I've been in the back of one, once, but I'm only 5'10", so I fit okay. [残念だが、足を切断しなければならないだろう、ティム]

Suzuki Swift is better value.. Similar priced

Aygo's are always great little cars and they are actually pretty good balue for their money.
I wish this was a bit more powerful but....who cares? It's a small, cheap city car.

Thanks Tim. It terms of the car, what a sad proposition. New cars are worse. I’d put my money in a 2-3 yr equivalent. Better car at 1/2 the price. Happy days 👍

It’s a cheap Plastic Shit Box…but I Own my for a year now and im very very happy to have it. Cheap to run, fits in tight spots. Several Ikea trips. I already ducktaped the drivers door Cause of windnoises…but F it…It’s Slow AF but a pretty reliable car. My Brand new i10 NLine had a broken Turbo at 2k Miles and a broken clutch at 4k Miles…so yeah, i rather drive around in this shitbox and never have a Problem with it.. ✌️

I feel like the charismatic reviewer had a blast with this strange city car /tiny suv/ street fashion hand bag of a car which seemed to give him plenty to talk about given he did not seem to like the car as a package. However we are nowhere near 6 foot 3 so the wee Aygo X might just suit. Thanks for posting this highly informing but also entertaining review.

[DontPanicDear]

Well I like it 😮
This X seems to me like a more roomy IQ replacement 🤓
Manual and naturally aspirated is a rarity in 2024, so it’s just like a Cayman GTS 4.0 in that regard 😜

[VintageRKO]

Exterior proportions of the car is so good, Aston Martin should make another Cygnet based on this

Great reviewer……. Naturally amusing in delivering to camera.
👍👍
PS I agree with his judgment having been to a Toyota and Kia showroom recently.

[SaSa-fssb]

Nice review thanks, I think I might buy one

[jamalrobinson]

Car reviews are so pointless… it’s all down to the individual, their car needs at the time, their taste and how they feel about the vehicle when they drive it…

[charlieboyvespa]

Scratchy plastic on a nineteen grand car?? Incredible. Under powered, tinny skinny over priced! Oh and no room in the back at all!

[Flaming-Hedgehog]

On the Road Price €22K? Wow, I'm so out of touch. Guessing this is aimed at the cashed up old boomers.

Sorry tim, couldnt resist
😮

[BillyBanter]

Don't waste money on a new one. Could be a decent second hand buy 4 years down the road.

[WheelieMacBin]

I looked at this car when I was replacing my old one last year, but it is simply impractical and to my mind, overpriced. You can get the top spec Dacia Sandero for less than the price of the entry model Aygo X, and the Dacia has solid used values too. But, I guess the Toyota badge will sell the Aygo X. UK new car buyers tend to be very badge sensitive.
