When I drive the CRV, I use the sensors, camera and mirrors when reversing and if I need more input my wife guides me in! So far I have missed all obstacles. I think they are all very useful! I am not so sure about the lane depart warning and autonomous emergency braking.
Oh, I nearly forgot - enjoy the Aygo it looks and sounds great. I had a 2011 model and my daughter loves her 2007 one. I think the latest shape is sharper and I would think is fun to drive.

My 2012 came with reversible camera.......could not trust it, so showed Don and Andy how to fit set of Reversey Beep-Beeps........then got used to and trusted the camera, albeit the camera lens spends most of its time covered in Scotteesh crud........then the wee control unit/ecu doobry for the Beep-Beeps chucked it after three years.....anurra £80.00.... Having got both, reversey beeps AND and reversing camera are on the list of "must have" accessories for any future car. I really wouldn't want to do without them. Now, the reversey beep system is really good at creating false alerts but when it's a solid tone I can be 99% certain that I'm within a foot of something whether I can see it or not. And, as Kev says, the camera lens spends quite a lot of covered in crud - English and Welsh cruds are just as good as Scotteesh! - so it is a good idea to routinely give the lens a wipe and I'll often park forwards knowing that I can then clear the lens before I reverse out! But they do take a little getting used to ... Funnily enough, Philip, I have found the Beep-Beeps EXCELLENT for NOT GIVING false alarms. Exceptions.......facing up inclines, even not that steep, and the wee gubbers beep. LIGHT COLOURED STONES on driveways set them off......Andy shcm........explain....? But any bliddy WHITE LINE PAINTING they pass over gives them a wee beep......link to the white stoned driveways.....? |

Did you buy it from the same dealer ? In the end it was Charlie but it was brought down from Scarborough for her as the one in Tamworth that she was going to buy had gone but this is a better Aygo all round. Is that garage on a hill ?? |

IQ is a Japanese car built in Japan.... So the IQ runs on fumes.........less fumes.........Not sure if I ever mentioned that ? |

Always think the current styling on the face of the new small Toyotas makes them look sad??!! Maybe it's just me lol
Sunroof is a nice touch. Amazing the cars youngsters get these days. Lucky girl.

I feel the tyre pressure monitoring system is overkill on a small town car and it’s now part of the mot regulation ☹️

Well folks youngest daughter passed her test first attempt on Monday so the Aygo was nicely delivered by the dealer for her and she is now driving the little Aygo about and says she loves it :TU:
I've just been looking in the folder and found a little black card which says that the Aygo has been protected inside and out using Gen3 advanced formula ceramic glasscoat and fabric protector, so is it ok to wax as normal still as if the weather is ok the weekend i'll be waxing it for her :TU:

Wax away Paul - It'll help prolong any [if any] positive effects of the ceramic snake oil magic formula stuff  EDIT: And well done Paulette junior :band2: |
