We say A luxurious, well-equipped small car to take advantage of a new type of buyer. It’s a necessity for Aston, but huge prices and Toyota IQ base is a turn-off.Performance 106mph top speed and 0-60 in 11.5 seconds. The slowest Aston Martin ever, a not unexpected result for a city car.Emissions Also the greenest Aston ever. Fuel economy of 54mpg and CO2 emissions below 120g/km are all-important to meet European regulations.Driving Accurate, responsive steering and a small turning circle highlight just where this car is most at home: the city.Feel Composed around town, it doesn’t let itself down on motorways either.Space If you somehow squeeze four people into your little Aston you’d better not want to take any luggage.Equipment The Cygnet is very well equipped, as should a city car that costs £30K be. The best city car you can buy in terms of bells and whistles.Price £30,000 is a hefty sum for a small runaround. Low running costs; residuals something of an unknown.Quality Retains the reliability of the IQ and adds only the highest quality Aston Martin materials inside.Safety Traction and stability control, brakeforce distribution and four airbags are standard on the Cygnet.Pros Well equipped, typically luxurious inside, plenty of bespoke options. Feels more exclusive than other upmarket small cars.Cons Eye-watering price for what is essentially a Toyota underneath, gaudy exterior customisation options.Alternatives Audi A1, Mini
