Extended test: Toyota Aygo 1.0 VVT-i X-Cite (5 doors)

If size really mattered, then women would get a law that would permanently ban the mass production of Japanese babies. However, this is not the case - in intimate relationships and transport strategies, only compatibility matters. Toyota Aygo in Trieste? Compatible! Toyota Aygo, rain and snow? Three is the best couple!

Uroš Modlič and Tina Torelli

You can read about the first Toyota Aygo test in Auto Magazine's third issue this year. My dear boss Aljosha concluded it with the following words: “We are gradually getting snow, and now the Mediterranean climate will be very good for us. What do you say to Koper or Piran with its narrow streets? "About a week later, when he clutched the keys to a small" orange tree "in my hands, I told him:" Okay, I'm going to Trieste, where there are even narrower streets and more sun than in Dill.

Let's see what this box can do! “If I had looked at the weather forecast earlier, I would have known that the heaviest snowfall since the Second World War is expected, which will turn the Trieste forest into a slanting snowstorm that cuts around like Bruce Lee. blows. But since photographer Uroš took a Toyota Aygo to the first snow rally of the season, Janner Rally to be exact, I was not intimidated by the challenge. When I crashed into the sea on the steepest street in the world called Santa Rock, rain mixed with snow was already falling from the sky. By all rights, the little car should capitulate on a slippery road, but it didn't—it acted as if I were holding onto a handsome, smart, and loyal millionaire.

When I safely drove up to the parking lot on Carducci Street, looking at the parked gray-black cars, it seemed to me that there was no other car in the world. I felt like Robbie Gordon's little sister, we shone the same color and sounded almost the same. Yes, the car can be really a little loud if you ask for a little more revs, and it also needs to be nudged a little downhill on the highway. It reminds me of puppies: they are smaller, louder, stubborn and work harder for your pleasure, but that's how it works in the animal kingdom.

Anyway, for a Toyota Aygo X-Cite, I certainly wouldn't need a detective or extra super equipment to find it in the parking lot (sometimes I do have these issues), but I would be worried if the car was conceived by an ex-boyfriend , which could easily drown in a tablespoon of water. This is a car that can be seen from an airplane and, above all, cannot be overlooked in city traffic. Away from me Toyota Aygo X-Cite!
