Will Toyota ever put their hybrid drivetrain in the Aygo X?
My partner is likely to change her car in the next 12/18 months and is interested in an Aygo X.

Third wheel bearing is broken, Aygo 2014

It was a kind of screaming, high pitch grinding noise, so I really thought that a heavy bill was waiting.
