My first car: A Toyota Aygo GO

[DJC]

I have recently joined Pistonheads due to the arrival of my first car. A 2011 Toyota Aygo Go with only 21,000 miles on the clock and full service history. I bought it from a woman who had owned it since new, and used it as a town car. She certainly looked after it and even gave it a full polish regularly. The mileage and engine size is what attracted me to go and look at it. The car is in mint condition throughout, with no parking dings or scrapes on any of the body panels. It has just had 2 new tyres put on the front and a complete service. I'm not yet 17 until 11th April, however I have had the chance to drive it on a local abandoned airfield and so far I'm impressed. Everything is so light and simple to use and it seems to be the ideal first car for someone of my age.

Here are some pictures:

Enjoy it for what it is a cracking introduction to the world of cars, focus on maintaining momentum and be safe.

As an aside please don't spend thousands on body kits and other various improvements, if you find yourself leaning this way jus think that money saved by not doing this combined with price for selling the car in a few years will be a good step towards something like an s2000

Don't worry I'm not going to ruin an already great car

Though I'd give a little update.

Passed my test in August and love driving so far. I've added little details to the car tomake it my own. I have also had the drivers side headlight replaced under warranty due to condensation issues. Apart from that their is nothing else to report. An excellent car that's cheap to run. I plan to keep it for 2 years and build up my no claims, and then look for something with a bit more POWER!

Erm what are the little details youve added to make it your own??

Please dont be a dump valve and 9" exhaust.

No don't worry, nothing like that. I have added a rev counter, exhaust tip and a centre armrest to make them journeys a little more relaxing. Other than that, I am just going to keep it clean every week. Already looking for my next car, can't resist.

Pics on the way.
