... odd how some people spent extra getting the Peugeot badge and how the Aygo is seen as the poorer car even though it's the Toyota bits that make it go! Bad Obsession Motorsport lads are currently doing up a battered C1 to enter the C1 track series... even though it's intro-level racing they've still spent £6000 in total, starting with an £1800 second hand C1.
The Peugeot models were slightly better equipped, which in part justifies the slightly righer ticket price. In relaity no one paid that and buyers were usually able to negotiate the same discounts as C1 owners, and largely paid the same.
The Aygo drives identically, shairing as it does the same mechanicals and understracture. Alas, the Aygo can suffer from truly monumntal cabin leaks that the other Triplets didn't, and Toyota never got to grips with it right to the end of the models life.
In addition, PSA had a service interval of 9000 miles, but Tpypta went with 10,000 to keep it in line with the rest of the Toyota range. In reality there js probably no problem with that, but the perception was that one less service over 100,000 miles wasn't a good thing, and used buyers looked suspiciously upon it.
Finally, the Aygo simply cost quit a bit more new. This put people off buying them used, and as a result used prices took a hit and they suffered stiff depreciation. Conversely, in its heyday the 107 was the slowest depreciating car in the UK, with near new examples occasionally selling for more than new as buyers sought t avoid the 4-5 month summer waiting list caused by the annual factory maintenance closure.
Nothing wrong at all with an Aygo if its a dry car, but people and market forces are what they are.

they are supposed to slide backwards and forwards, not up and down (or just down in your case), but your 'fixed pane' solution is indeed the simplest of all
