Hi all

Step Daughters just bought a 12 plate Aygo 1.1 (I think) , she’s saying it’s a bit loud when she’s driving it , I’ve heard it on tickover & it doesn’t sound like the Exhaust is blowing , she had a 1.4 Fiesta before which she thought was quieter ...... but then again I’d guess the 1.4 wouldn’t be working as hard at say 30 or 40 mph

any thoughts

cheers

Have you sat in it whilst she's driving to see if there is anything wrong with it or its just a little louder than the fiesta?

Or are you scared to lol
 
Hi

yes I’ve been in it & it sounds ‘louder’ but I wouldn’t say an exhaust type blow louder , I Might have answered my own Q , when you think about it a smaller Engine has to work harder

it’s an updated spec with extras on it & I’d have thought the sound proofing may be better

I think I’ll get her to go to a local Toyota dealer and see if she can get a test drive in the same Model to Compare it

cheers
 
Just a quick test regarding the exhaust.....place the palm of your hand against the tailpipe - if there's a blow you'll hear it and feel the lack of back pressure.
Rules something out anyway!

Daughter had one a few years ago. Exhaust cracked at mani-cat. Luckily it was mild steel so I was able to remove, weld and refit.
