For The Aygo has a great engine, great looks and very low running costs. It's solidly built, too, and has a five-year warranty.
Against The ride is stiff and it suffers from poor refinement out of town. There's not much standard kit, either, and the boot is tiny, with a very small opening.
Easy to like and affordable to own, but it's not that well equipped and best when restricted to town duties.
This fun and funky city car boasts a zippy 1.0-litre engine, which is great about town, while its compact dimensions are great for nipping into tight parking spaces.
Overall running costs are also low: every Aygo sits in one of the two cheapest insurance brackets and has average fuel economy of 61.4mpg.
Its handling is neat, although not as agile as we would like, partly because of a sluggish initial steering response and because the small tyres quickly lose grip. The ride is also a rather firm.
There is reasonable space for four tall adults and although the no-frills materials don’t feel luxurious, the overall impression is solid.
The Aygo is very much a city car, though – its boot is too cramped to hold much luggage, and on motorways wind- and road noise are annoying.
