Toyota Aygo vs Skoda Citigo

We await the VW Group knockers, the conspiacy theorists! Well done Citigo, another well-deserved win.

The only people you ever see driving a Citigo are those on the wrong side of 60. It really is a pensioners special.

It would be easier to take such results at face value if the VW group and AE did not appear so deeply "embedded" in one another. (see various adverts purporting to be editorial content) As it is I have no idea as to which vehicle is the better one and am not proposing to road test either.

The new Aygo has no Euro NCAP score yet.

This citigo is really bad, very bad!!!!

You´re insain!!

I must admit I thought that this car is a joke too. Then I needed to rent a car for a weekend and at the closest car rental they had literally empty lot. All that was left was either 55kW Citigo or BMW X5. I drove citigo both on highways, mostly 160kmph, as well as gave it a hard run on mountain roads.

Originally, I wanted to rent Octavia/Golf, but next time I will stick to citigo (as long as there won't be more than 1 passenger). No need to pay extra when this car can deliver all that I need, and actually with its wheels directly in the corners and great handling even more when it comes to twisting mountain roads.

Is that why it's best city car, and ae car of the year 2012 Miggy? Just because the Ford KAk cannot muster any positions anywhere! The usual vw group hatred from the ford fanboiiiiiiii ayeee!

you're a troll, and you're insane....

Really? You actually look at every Citigo and inspect the driver? Sad. Look on Briskoda, Skoda UK facebook page etc, loads of youngsters love them. You sound like a jealous Citroen/Toyota/Peugeot driver.....

Both are gutless as soon as you put anything but the driver in

The Citigo does look rather plain next to the Aygo, but its a neat design. More importantly, I think its really bad that Toyota have designed a car which will mainly be used in the city with such poor rear thre-quarter visibility. Definitely a case of form over function.

Wow 38.2 mpg with an Aygo in the Auto Express econ? Who knows what happened here:
forgot the handbrake;
could not find fourth and fifth gear;
towing the Citigo;
set a new track record.

Citigo is a great little drive, though I prefer the Up's styling. New Aygo a step back from the excellent original.

IMHO there is less difference in appearance between the VW/Skoda/SEAT trio than often found between differing trim levels of the same model. They are absolutely clonal. The Toyota/Citroen/Peugeot trio seem almost as clonal although like, I suspect, 99% of those who comment knowingly thereon, I have not clapped eyes on any of them yet!

My concern was with how much credence one should give to magazine verdicts
when close relationships with individual makers are suspected.

I should have been more specific - the new Aygo's smaller windows reduce rear vision for parking. Can't say I care for its Darth Vader nose, but that's personal taste for you.

The jury is unanimous from reviewers across Europe, the
Toyota/Citroen/Peugeot trio are completely outclassed by the VW trio,
and by the Hyundai i10.

Very disappointing and pretty much sums up the third rate efforts from Toyota and PSA in general.

Er pretty much everyone I know with one of these cars is well below 60. Including myself. I like almost everything about the car -but the seats which lack support on long trips.

I was suspicious too and so decided to test drive one to make up my own mind. I was very pleasantly surprised and bought one as a result!

Skodas are only driven by pensioners and Taxi drivers - its a fact. They are the most boring, tedious vehicles on sale. LOL Be jealous of a Skoda driver - you joking?!!! Sounds like your the "sad" one!!! My aspirations are a lot higher than that in life (and no I dont drive or have ever driven/owned any Toyota/Citroen/Peugeot)!!!

VW group products are not the best thats for sure - don't be taken in by the usual pro VAG tripe!
