The car "Toyota Aigo", which oftencalled the twin "Citroen C1" and "Peugeot 107", was launched in the spring of 2005. All three mentioned models are assembled in one joint factory, which is located in the Czech town of Colin. In fact, they all differ only in individual elements of the decor. At the same time, the Japanese copy stands out favorably with the luggage compartment lid. It is an original door made of glass. At the same time the usual metal frame is missing.
Whatever it was, Toyota Aygo, in comparison withFrench counterparts, does not look so "toy". The fact is that it has larger dimensions. As for the interiors of cars, they are identical, so sitting in one of the cars, you can only find out about what you are in by looking at the logo on the steering wheel.
Under the hood of the car "Toyota Aigo", as well as its twoFrench analogues, there is an engine with a distributed injection, which consists of three cylinders and twelve valves. The power plant has a capacity of one liter and is capable of developing power to 68 horsepower. As for the gearbox, the car uses a mechanic for five steps. The model is very beneficial in terms of low fuel consumption. More specifically, for every hundred kilometers of run in a mixed cycle (provided there are no racing habits for the driver), he only needs five liters of gasoline. To accelerate from place to "hundreds" takes 14.2 seconds.
The car behaves very unpretentiously, clearlyfitting in a given trajectory of motion. The dynamics of the car can hardly be called impressive. On the other hand, Toyota Aygo was created for driving on city streets, so it is not worth asking for anything supernatural. The machine, though not frisky, but also from the leaders at the traffic lights does not lag behind. The motor is quite noisy. This is due not only to its design, but also to the economy of the manufacturer on soundproofing materials. It would be wrong to wait for something else from the car of such a ticket office. An elementary solution to this problem is the inclusion of an audio system.
All this fades into the background, if we take into account thatthe fact that the car behaves well not only on city streets, but also on the highway, even when traveling to considerable distances. As a driver, and passengers complain about the discomfort in this case will not have to. As for the luggage compartment, its volume is 139 liters. Front in the car uses the McPherson suspension, which is characterized by the presence of a stabilizer bar. At the rear it is semi-dependent with longitudinal arms. We can not fail to note the safety level of the car, which, according to the results of crash tests conducted by EuroNCAP, was four stars (the possible maximum is 5 *).
So far, the Japanese manufacturer has not officiallydelivers cars "Toyota Aygo" to our country. 2013, unfortunately, was no exception. According to the representatives of the company, next year an updated version of the car will come off the assembly line. Any technical characteristics of the novelty are not reported. As for the cost of the Toyota Aigo, the price of such used cars in the domestic secondary market is on average 300 thousand rubles.
