Faults:

Drivers seat is working loose.

Intermittent clicking from suspension.

Brakes judder.

General Comments:

The handling of this car is simply amazing! A light tail makes it feel a little twitchy and nervous, but the payoff is an amazing ability to turn into corners, and great adjustability on the throttle. It can bite though - this is a very easy car to spin if you take liberties with it.

The steering is very accurate and offers plenty of weight and feedback, although can be heavy when parking.

The engine is not particularly powerful, but revs keenly round to the red line. It delivers fairly decent performance, but you need to keep it over 4,000 RPM to get the best out of it.

Although stable at speed and surprisingly comfortable, low gearing spoils the car's long distance suitability.

Faults:

Had to fix quite a few things (broken radiator, clutch, catalyst and camshaft belt).

General Comments:

Designed & built for twisted country roads, very noisy (but fast) on motorways, needs an extra gear.

Do not tamper with the suspension (mine had Billsteins, awful in bumpy roads).

Great motor, can catch up most hyped cars.

Have to know how to handle on slippery bends and turns: Oversteer it at the entry of the turn, accelerate right after - pure thrill :))) *Never* brake hard inside turns, without fast hands you're in for a 180 spin.

Very stylish, great looks = ladies love it. Too bad that it did not come with power steering and A/C. My next car is an 106 GTi.

Faults:

The clutch went on it, nothing too serious though. Cheap to replace.

General Comments:

An excellent car, well worth the money. Out handles a lot of the cars on the road, goes forever, well nippy and a beautiful car to look at. Best to spend a little extra to get a 1.6, the 1.4 is tinny, the interior in the 1.6 is far nicer and there are nicer touches.

Quick comment. The other dull wits in this area with 106's shouldn't of even looked at this form to fill it in. I mean to say, anyone with half a brain cell will know that the 106 Rallye 1994 is either a 1.3 (rare if it is) but probably a 1.6 cos the engine was a 1.3 until K, when the cat was added the 100bhp was then cut down, so the 1.6 lump was used and was an excellent engine.

Then there is the bloke who has a 106 XSI 1995 which is 1.6 16v? eh? the year of 1997 brought the 106 GTI which is the 1.6 16v, XSI are all 8v... Sorry to pop your bubble..

Faults:

Gearbox, clutch, starter motor, head gasket, 2 cooling pipes, engine mounting, drive shaft.

General Comments:

A really wonderful car to drive, when that little engine comes on cam it's fantastic, a real buzz.

But it has a problem - it's very fragile, and expensive to fix, a rubber cooling hose was £70, and every part because it's particular to that model costs on average at least twice as much as the standard 106, I got the gearbox reconditioned and that cost £500.

This expense is not just for big items but small ones too e.g. spark plugs (and that's a servicable item).

Faults:

One or two niggles such as interior trim coming adrift. Otherwise utterly reliable - being a used car previously used as a Peugeot lease car ensured good service history.

General Comments:

The 1.4 has good performance but I would have expected better fuel economy. Parts are easily available here in the West Midlands. Some people might find the cabin too cramped. The equipment levels are good and the car feels quite stylish.

Faults:

None.

General Comments:

A fantastic little car with surprisingly good acceleration for such a small engine.

Faults:

Fault with thermometer in engine - fixed under warranty.

New catalyst and exhaust needed at first MOT - not fixed under warranty.

General Comments:

An excellent car, although it is not the best for long journey's. Handling is excellent. I would buy another.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Outstanding economy, I mean OUTSTANDING, good drive and beautifully smooth around town, keep it in the right gear, and keep it off the motorway!
