The Stig Names Toyota Aygo as Favourite Car

The Stig with Toyota Aygo
The Stig, the mystery racing driver from TV's Top Gear, has revealed that his favourite car is a Toyota Aygo.

The Stig, who driven almost every performance car going has chosen the Toyota city car, costing around £10,000, above a raft of exotic motors.

According to The Stig, the Toyota Aygo is the car that has given him the most fun. This occured when the Aygo was used in a game of motor football.

This endorsement for Toyota is good news for Toyota given their earlier problems with product recalls. From my perspective this even better news for me. I bought an Aygo for my 19 year-old son to use. At first he was luke warm but has since grown to like the car. I also use it for short journeys around town and love its nippiness. Earlier in the year the Toyota Aygo was also awarded the What Car city car of the year. It also came top in its class for the JD Power satisfaction survey.

With What Car, JD Power and The Stig on its side, the Toyota brand can only go from strength to strength.
