Always check your new car

[PeterEdin]

I purchased a new 17 plate Aygo a few months ago. It's the x-clusiv model which like most of the range; has the hands free/Bluetooth feature. However, despite all checks which I assumed had been done prior to my delivery, the factory had actually forgotten to install the microphone in the roof, so always check that your new car has all the bits & bobs it should have.

That said, the dealership were excellent, and the mic was added under warranty of course.

Slightly off-topic. One thing I don't like about the Aygo is the biting point is quite high up.  That said, I was looking at the VW Up! as my new car, but glad I chose the Aygo. It a great little car.

I remember pulling up behind a brand new Land Rover Discovery about 2 years ago, and the gentleman was filling it with fuel. All of what he put in was just pouring out the bottom. I asked him if he was aware of it (he didn't look like he was), he said he couldn't understand it that the fuel tank must be full but the fuel gauge in the car read empty.

Never saw him again, so don't know what exactly happened. But he had just picked it up 15 minutes prior to me meeting him. And that was on a "luxury" vehicle! So you're quite right, always check a new car.

And welcome to Toyota!

Hi,

The high biting point was surprising for me, too. It is normal, don't worry, you will get used to it.

Enjoy your Aygo!

Hi zuh,

 

Because it is high up, I don't have to press the clutch pedal that hard to hear a change in the engine tone or be able to change gear, so my only concern it that when the clutch wears down, it won't take long for the clutch to start slipping. I am getting used to it.
