1995 Peugeot 106 1.5 diesel
Summary:
A very cheap, economical, and fun car to own - I'd seriously consider buying another (newer) one
Faults:
The only problem that I have had at all mechanically with the car is when the fuel pump solenoid failed, in the closed position, leaving me stranded. A mechanic friend went straight to the problem thankfully, but the cost of replacement was extortionate, a common feature of Peugeot dealers.
General Comments:
This car is super economical. It seems no matter how hard you drive it, it will return upwards of 50mpg, even round town.
It is surprisingly nippy for a diesel, down to the small size and weight.
Handles the best out of any small car I have owned.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I bought a used 106 XND about 4 years ago with 80K on the clock. It now has done 130K, during which time I have replaced 4 tires and brake pads, a brake cable and all heat plugs. All in all it has been a very good second car, and very good on fuel. I have every intention of buying another.
