A Yaris or Aygo?
Indeed haha. I shall make a "build thread" for that as well, as there are a few small bits I want to improve but it is all going to be economy and looks focused, no coilovers or rust repairs here!
We could be cruel and exclude him because it's really a Citroën C1 or Peugeot 108 in Toyota garb
75mpg is very optimistic. I have a C1, albeit the older model and get 55mpg (measured by brimming the tank as no computer). Have they changed the engine at all?
Great cars though, lots of character! I’ve had mine for 4 years / 30k miles and it’s cost me very little.
Haha yeah they are a joint venture but this is the JDM car shell so I qualify
What is the engine code for yours? Also what type of journeys do you do, mainly motorway or ?
People report around 60 mpg on the Toyota forums, some in the high 60s some high 50s, but their journeys vary a lot. I guess we ll find out if it's true this week, it has a trip computer with various settings and tracking so I will see what it shows after 3-4 days of trips to London.
Wonder how long till you miss the Civic :lol:
I haven’t a clue about the engine code, sorry. A quick google says ‘1KR-FE’??
My journeys are mostly short, 4 miles or so, which is what the car is designed for after all I fill it up about once a month and cover about 400 miles per tank (until the light/beep).
I’ve driven it from Cardiff to Gatwick a couple of times and the fuel economy has improved slightly but not by much, though I probably wasn’t trying to drive it economically - it tends to like 80mph more than 70 but the economy probably suffers for it.
Just to confirm, I’m not criticising it, I love owning it and would recommend them to anyone. Does the new shape have cruise control? I’m just thinking of a reason for the potential better economy.
I used to daily my old Civic into London, 75 miles each day meant a tank of fuel every four days. Don’t miss those bills!
Be like many of us, spend 4-5k/yr on a train ticket

A guy at work has the same Aygo, his is a slightly more understated grey colour though. No idea what MPG he gets, but he’s happy with it.
