CITROEN C1 vs PEUGEOT 107 vs TOYOTA AYGO

I realise these aren't the types of cars many on here will probably know (or care) too much about - me neither, which is why I'm asking - but my missus' friend is wanting a small, economical car, has narrowed down her search to one of the three beasts mentioned above, and has asked yours truly to help her find a good'un. After a quick look, I've noticed the C1 and 107 have identical bhp, economy, 0-60 times, emissions, etc., so I'm guessing they are essentially the same car underneath and were maybe a collaborative venture, like the GT86 and BRZ. (I also couldn't believe their running costs - 61.4mpg combined and £20 a year tax. Crazy!)

Anyone know anything about any of these cars? Any common issues or things to check?

Cheers!

I thought the agyo was also the same car

Uncle Creepy

So it is! Good call.

So if they're all essentially the same car, presumably they would all suffer from the same issues (if any)?

Mechanically the same just styling and trim differences I guess so down to price.
I don't know but I assume the Toyota is the most expensive but I like the styling on this one over the other two

Uncle Creepy

Yes, the Aygo is the most expensive - well, used ones are anyway, like-for-like year/mileage examples.

Maybe due to Japanese vs French reputation for reliability.

I had a C1 courtesy car when my van went into Citroen for a service. Quite a funky little car with few gadgets like touch screen media in the dash and the rag top roof is a nice touch....The 3 cylinder engine sounded quite good on full chat!

Had an Aygo as a courtesy car too.Quite liked it! Boot ultra tiny though

Has she thought about the other set of triplets too,Skoda Citigo, VW Up !and Seat Mii (think that's what it is) ?

Imagine it with a decat!

Didn't think of these. I'll suggest them. Cheers.

Too expensive - budget is about £3k.

Right, thanks chaps, some positive feedback for the C1 and Aygo, and some viable alternatives suggested. I knew the scoobynet massive were the right people to ask.
