Appreciate the honesty, most reviewers are too worried about upsetting manufacturers to have the guts to tell the truth! Have been thinking about an Argo for some time, to reduce running costs, but safety is always my number one priority!!! This review has convinced me to stay with my Saab. My passengers lives are more important than saving a few quid!

It seems to me that noise coming from the tires is the biggest factor. I drove a Mercedes for many years and of course it was very quiet. Now I drive a Honda Fit. It is a nice little car, but very noisy at highway speeds, particularly when the pavement is rough. It is very noticeable when the road transitions from a smooth surface to a rougher one. My best bet would be to insulate around the wheel wells somehow, and/or replace the current tires with quieter ones. Also, I think it is not necessary to cover all that metal with the "kilmat" (smaller pieces would do it). The foam material seems a good solution to absorb higher frequencies, and the vinyl doesn't seem to be worth the trouble and cost. Thanks for the detailed video!

Appreciate the comprehensive guide and eloquent delivery, thank you! I've pondered doing this on a sister car... the older 107. As a wacky but half-scientific idea I'd like to compare the baseline with the (rear of the) car filled with cushions/duvets - just to see how much absorption they'd provide. Not a practical idea but interesting perhaps. Regarding matting over the wheel liners... if nothing else they provide a nice home for rodents - as I found out on my Verso - at least they chewed that and not the wiring 😂

Theres absolutely no point in adding MLV in plastic door cards if you don't cover it 100% plus MLV is mainly used on floors with as much coverage as possible

Hi Jamie. I have a 2018 toyota Aygo Xcite with a 2 button infotainment system. I have spoken with Vantage toyota and they have told me that I cannot swap it for the android auto one as it wont fit in my car. They are saying it is too big as it is for the new Aygo X. Yours has just fit ok. Can you help?

Thanks dude for making this video, probably one of the most detailed I've seen so far based on your effort and patience on soundproofing your car. Just to ask, how did those mats you placed along the wheel arches and liners? did those hold and stick on after a few months tilll now? Thanks mate.

Thanks for the review. Very helpful advice.

I dont have money for porche and i buy a aygo x-play june 2021 nanual !! I love it ...2024 december 81000klm and i enjoy it all bye me ....its funny but i love it!!

The Aygo MK2, especially the later face lift one with the 72Hp engine is very snappy. You have to be good at gear changes and learn the revs, but if you keep the engine RPM above 4500, you can race about all you like, the 800Kg kurb weight is very easy the thrash around if you know how

I saw the Resonix site a little while ago. Prior to that I was planning on getting Dynamat for my car. I've known about them for a very long time and they were who I knew the most about. After seeing the Resonix site, I chose to go with the Amazon Basics. It wasn't the best, but is better than Dynamat, as good as almost all the others, and really cheap. It just happened to be on sale when I was buying and I bought a lot, probably too much. In my mind, I bought about $1000 worth, in square feet, of Dynamat material, only better. This has given me enough to not worry about the cost when I'm applying it. I've got a 24 GR86. So far, I've done the rear wheel wells and the roof. I am starting to hear slight improvement. I know that is mostly placebo. I took some sound measurements before I started, I measure again once I am finished. When I upgrade the stereo, I'll pull out all the carpeting and liberally apply it everywhere. In my last car, I only did the doors. I'm looking forward to seeing how much better a whole car treatment can sound.

Every 10dB is noticeably half or twice as loud, because we hear and see logarithmically. 3dB is half or twice as loud linearly, or 1/4 of the noticeable volume change.

This test makes absolutely no sense! :D

Sadly they dont have my car model ita too old

I’m surprised none of these car insulating videos mention the use of spray cork used in marine insulation to do the same job but also make the car a lot more comfortable in harsh weather. Same thing goes to wool insulation. spray cork would have been easier to install, better at sound insulation, makes it thermally insulated and it isn’t toxic or combustible. No toxic smoke or melting issues with sprayed cork.

Hi mate we're did u get the bulb from

Random q, but just picked up a 2016 Aygo and a couple of bulbs in the heating/air con unit need changing (behind the blue curve of the temp control and behind the options on the right of the selector). Is that a straightforward job?

Wow , I thought I went mad when my Jaguar XJ ECU gave up and then bought an Aygo. I have never looked back as I halved my insurance Per Annum. My Jag cost £340 a year for Tax while my new Aygo is Zero money per year. £110 about what it used to cost me to fill an empty Jag petrol tank to full to get about 300 miles urban driving. Now with the Aygo I will pay about £55 for an empty tank to full and get 500 miles driving. Where can I go wrong anyone?

Is it just me who can barely notice the difference all this made? Im thinking about doing my '78 Cavalier but if its not going to make much difference, i might forgo it and avoid any chance of rust forming behind a poorly adhered mat

A 3 db change is a doubling or 50% reduction in sound level. Also, a friend put new tires on her CRV it made a good reduction in road noise. Cheers

Jamie Hi im just about to get my first Aygo Auto :) but im interested in the Arm rest where did you get that one from please

Great video ! How did you remove the air vents trim ?

I wonder how does it compare to mitsubishi mirage from the same year

Low profile tires have a higher sound level and are rougher riding.

Safety: as well as using axle stands, chock the wheel on the opposite corner both front and back of the tyre. Especially when working on a slippery, loose, or sloped surface! A pair of folding wheel chocks is cheap, or if you have scrap wood around you can make your own. A lot of sound deadening is reducing the pitch of the noise - that's what adding mass to a vibrating panel does. Low pitched rumbles are less annoying than whistles and hissing noises. It may not be much quieter to a sound meter but changing the timbre of the sound makes the ride more comfortable.

Thanks! Really helpful!

Have you got a link to this unit I'm just about to buy an Aygo and the only thing about the whole care is the lack of sat navigation/ phone connection thanks 👍🏻

Do you have to programme your steering controls to the radio

They have spray on soundproofing.

How is it on the motorway especially. I really want a 2021 aygo

Hello and if my aygo do not have touch screen can i fitting oryginal toyota aygo touch screen??thank u

My lads just bought one of these, first car, and he’s 6ft 6. Fits in lovely.

I watched a simulation using cymbal, here's the thing, you don't have to patch all of the surface with the deadening material, the metal area that has flat surface is enough.

Why are you calling it Brodit?

shoud've change scale in dBA, no dBb, difference will be 3-5 dB min

my one's engine rumbles while it is idle

My 108 2014 got writen off while it was innocently parked. Loved it so just got a x trend aygo 2022. One of the last before the aygo x came out

Great video. What I would like to mention is that the "CarPlay" app for iPhone is called "CPLink" in some of these Chinese products, so anyone wondering why it isn't working now knows why, as I spent days getting it to work. You should not create a Wifi hotspot or connect it via Bluetooth, but rather let the radio create a wifi hotspot for your iPhone to connect to by starting the "CPLink" app.

Hey nice work! I've turned on notifications so I won't miss any updates if you add more soundproofing in future. It's interesting how car manufacturers have progressively made their cars better soundproofed over time. I'm a Toyota owner too and in the earlier stages of soundproofing it... Not the quietest cars but ripe for DIY improvement. One thing that Toyota have been doing in the factory more recently I've heard is blocking up gaps and hollows and channels where noise might enter the cabin... Might be something to consider for yourself I dunno... Any gaps in parts of the vehicle or materials that actually block sound transmission can let through an unexpected amount of noise for the size of the gap... Like when you open a car window just a tiny crack you notice a huge amount of noise gets in as though you'd opened it a lot more... Even when parked in traffic so it's not from wind or air movement it's just from the properties of sound travel... A general principal to keep in mind... And as everyone in the comments here is giving their two cents worth I might as well make another suggestion too... I've done lots of research on tyres over the years... and I'm not sure how meaningful those eu tyre label decibel ratings are... I'm sure they have some degree of accuracy but a more reliable source I think would be comparative testing that's done for example on some TH-cam channels like Tyre Reviews I think a good one is called. Unfortunately though there's not a lot of good comparative testing out there... So I'm planning on doing some of my own myself... But there are definitely tyres that are quieter than the ones you've got I would wager. And probably quieter than those Yokohama tyres too... Maybe if and when the ones you've got wear out and it's time for new ones... Because fair enough you got them for a bargain and they're decent brands and quality so not the worst either I'm sure and I'm not criticizing that decision at all... There's not enough guidance out there to make spending big money on tyres sensible... I might suggest looking at Goodyear Efficientgrip variants though. I remember they were the quietest in one big test. ...I'm planning on upgrading the wheels on my car like you did too! I hadn't heard that alloy wheels might be quieter but I have often wondered about it actually... So I learnt something! Cheers

can you do a pov drive pls?

I moved from a 107 Pug to a Mk2 Aygo , it seems like a Lexus by comparison , a few more cubby holes would help the Mk2 , but overall its great [ for what it is ].

My 2021 Aygo is os much quieter than that. Conversation is easy and you don't even have to turn the radio up (Radio 4 talking). My Aircon is also fine - although I rarely need to have the fans up at all. Certainly hear gearbox noise and clunks at times - but I find mine surprisingly quiet.

Bedliner would do well in the wheel wells.

That aint right. Water will seep in and rust will form underneath..

Why so low. Taking your eyes off the road

I've just bought a Toyota Aygo X in part exchange for my old Mazda 2. It's a nice car to drive, the engine is louder than I'm used to though. I'm sure that I'll get used to it in time 🤞

the 107 had better internal storage , the Aygo 2 is lacking some of the cubby holes , but all in all its a grand wee car.

electric knife is needed to cut foam

I've had a 2017 aygo for nearly 4 years and I literally havent spent a penny on it beyond service, MOT and normal maintenance. New tyres is the only thing I've spent thus far that I can think of. I also drive around 200 miles a week so it gets well driven. Perfectly fine if you have reasonable expectations, yes it's noisy on motorways but for absolutely everything else its perfect. Surprisingly nippy and fun to drive too, especially round country roads which is what i mainly do.

Hello! Nice video! It helpt me when i fixt my inner light. But what about lights on the license plate? Please make a video 😬👍
