Faults:

Warped brake discs, got them replaced under the extended warranty I purchased.

General Comments:

Absolutely wicked car to drive and the acceleration is wild, grips to the road like it's glued, not so good in the wet though. You will have loads of fun driving a 106 GTi especially when a 306 DTurbo tries to race, and you just laugh as you're powering past.

Insurance is a big problem if you are a young driver though, I'm 22 with 2 years no claims and had one quote of nearly £3000. I'm now currently paying £800ish (Do loads of shopping around).

Not too bad on petrol either if driven carefully, but it gets boring after a while.

Faults:

Rear window demister broken - replaced under warranty.

Whole car respray due to contaminated paint.

Broken engine mounts causing engine + gearbox to fall out (new gearbox casing + driveshafts).

Loose wishbones.

Decals needed replacing due to incorrect placing.

Transponder/immobiliser malfunctioned - car refused to start. All under warranty.

General Comments:

A real driver's car, so controllable when not at the dealership getting fixed! Much faster than stated. The more you push the car the more it gives back.

Faults:

Rear calliper replaced under warranty.

General Comments:

Forget the 206 GTi, this is the 205 GTi replacement. Superbly balanced chassis.

Faults:

New back brake discs, new alternator (sp?) which turned out to be a faulty earthing strap - 3 weeks to fix properly, new catalyst, then a new exhaust system, all done under warranty thank goodness.

Poor quality paint on the wheels.

General Comments:

This car is just so good to drive, brings a big grin to my face driving it I can tell you. Power steering on mine does make the difference.

It is just a pity Peugeot can't put them together properly, or their dealers sort out a problem properly.

These cars are great and with a bit of application on the quality front from Peugeot nobody, nobody would drive anything else.

The dealers on the whole leave an awful lot to be desired, expensive and unresponsive.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Acceleration is phenomenal and due to it being so small and the awesome handling it feels like you are going twice as quick. The aggressive and sporty looks are a far cry from the typical ' cute' 106 models. Jan 99 has seen a change in alloys to new 'daytona' style which are an insult to people's eyes.

Faults:

Immobiliser wouldn't let the car start on a couple of occasions, rectified by taking key out of ignition and trying again.

Hand brake cable came away from retainig clips causing it to rub on rear wheel. Dealer says it is a "characteristic".

In very wet conditions the car was only firing on 2 cylinders (having gone through a puddle).

And finally whilst overtaking the rev limiter cut in at 4000 revs. It cleared when I lifted off and then accelerated again

General Comments:

Despite all the problems I have had I wouldn't swap it for anything else . It goes and handles great with even the shortest of journeys bringing a huge smile to my face.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Having previously owned a Peugeot 205GTi and a 106XSi, and previously tested a number of VW Golf GTi's, I have to say, the 106 clean sweeps the lot under the carpet. It's ride and handling compares to nothing I have driven before. This along with a strong nimble engine and stunning looks, should put the latest Peugeot sporting hot hatch top of every car buyer's list.

Faults:

Clip missing off offside/right brake.

General Comments:

Fabulous car.

I drive to work on a B road and enjoy every mile every day!

I've put Valbrem 941 rims on to make the car look and feel better.

Faults:

None at all.

General Comments:

Very quick car with outstanding grip and handling. Great fun to drive especially on B roads. I would recommend one of these to anyone!
