1998 Peugeot 106 GTi 1.6 16v from UK and Ireland
Summary:
The very best £5000 car you could ever own
Faults:
The brake disc's warped (front and rear). Due to previous owners lack of care.
The Cat gave up. This was replaced with a De-cat pipe.
Slight second gear crunch.
New clutch only lasted 10k.
General Comments:
This car is very fast and a hell of a lot of fun. Within 20 minutes of owning it I had spun it on a roundabout (famous liftoff over-steer).
For £5000 what-more could you ask for. It would do 0-60 in 6.8 seconds and would cruise all day at 125 mph+. You get half leather interior, alloys, looks to die for, and best of all, rear wheel lift on hard cornering.
This car was so much fun it got me banned for speeding, so be careful.
I will own a 106 GTI again, no matter what the insurance.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Is this something to do with all zests or do all Peugot 106's leak? I got my zest 2 two months ago and for the past two weeks the back seats have been soaked through and now it's spreading to the front. Amazingly it's not the sunroof: my front and back windscreen are completely gone. Don't think I'll buy a Peugot again as I am now driving around with a constant smell of cabbage from my car seats...
