Aygo's any good?
Discussion
Which ones?
The mk1s are very much what-you-see-on-the-tin, and that'd be the same tin they feel like they're made from. If you appreciate the honest nature of original Minis/Beetles/Pandas, they're bloody brilliant, but they certainly don't pretend to be anything they're not.
For my part, I think they're great little beasties.

They are Toyota engines in all of them. Open a C1 or 107 bonnet... T O Y O T A...
They really are exactly the same apart from the Aygo has (IMO) less attractive back lights.
But really - do some googling - no difference at all.
Just buy whichever of the three variants you find for the best price/spec/colour.
I love ‘em.

Bought a 25k mile 9 year old 107 with ac for £1350 a few weeks back. Cracking litte car. Don't expect it to be an s class but it's stress free costs beans motoring and I was surprised by how good it was even on a motorway. It has a cat marker for front wing and headlamp but after crawling all over it the date label on the headlamp is the only way you would know. For £1350 it doesn't matter.
Wife had a '61 Aygo from new, it was a cracking little car. Cost pennies to run and didn't want for anything (sold at 81k miles due to first baby, otherwise would have kept it). Interior plastics are cheap, things creak with age (we all do) but those are minor gripes and to be expected of such a car. My wife regularly drove 100+ miles per day in hers and never had any trouble.
I also used to have a C1 (the diesel version) and regularly got over 80mpg from it. Loved that car!
(you can throw them around a little, good, albeit slow and safe fun).

Cracking little car, as honest as the day is long - I've been tooling around in one as an occasional for the last few months.
We bought it for my son as his first car but he bogged off to Uni and now we're left with it.
For sale if you're interested - 16 plate in red with less than 30k miles.

Wife has a 63 plate. As others say, a brilliant little thing. Very highly geared. On a known country road, carrying momentum is good fun, then you look at the gearstick and realise you're still in third! Pennies to run, and seems unburstable. Look out for a wet boot. If so, spare an hour and remove rear lights and third brake light, silicone sealant and refit.
Sister-In-Law had one from new and put over 100k mile on it during her ownership and I cant remember it ever failing. Eventually died at 130k i believe.
She never looked after it, regularly got driven 100 miles each day for work, and at one point wasn't serviced in 40k miles.
Great little cars, and pretty indestructible

I got one on a lease back at the end of 2011 - it was bright red and even had alloy wheels, electric windows, AC and a rev counter!!!! 
I got the back windows tinted black and it looked well cool.I didn't actually need it at all but it was £49 a month!!!! It was like a free car as I only needed to use it a few times a month instead of my SL500 and I'd saved more in fuel than it cost to lease. Average 66mpg. I sold the tyres on it when I first got it and stuck winters on and used it for snow travel - only time it failed me was when it got beached and I had to reverse down my own tracks. Great for going to the pub and leaving there til the next morning - once got six people in it.
On country roads it was a blast! It was like a bouncing red boiled sweet. I remember going down a back road from Wiggleswick to Gisburn and it was flying (or felt like it) - however I did notice that it drove other motorist nuts - people who wouldn't bat an eyelid as I swept past them in my SL would go ape when this little red rollerskate flew past; it was all flashing headlights and shaking fists
