Newest Review: ... first released in 1996 they came with a cloth interior and bump strips on the door, Peugeot gave it a mini face lift getting ... more

 ... rid of the bump strips and replacing the interior with leather and alcantara trim. Giving a luxury feel for a relatively small budget now. The 1.6litre engine can give almost 400 miles to a tank (45l) of petrol if driven in a more refined manner. Unfortunately these beasties are not without their problems and many are prone to ignition coil problems which can cause them to have a lumpy idle, there are other things which may go wrong too such as the fuel pump or stepper motor. But as the oldest of these cars are now...more

Crowned Review Peugeot 106 GTi: 106 Rallye-Fun City! (5277 words)

Introduction I bought a black 106 Rallye in August 1995. This was the 1.3 injection - 1294cc producing 100bhp @7,200 rpm and 80lbft of torque @5,000 rpm. It was to be a second car for my wife, as I already had a Renault 19 16V saloon (Mark 2) as a company car. The Rallye replaced a Citroen AX GT 500 - a very nice car that I had modified to produce 85bhp at the wheels, so about 100bhp at the flywheel. Quite quick, and very agile. Once I got the Renault, though, I passed this on to my wife as it just couldn't compete with 137bhp (+ Superchip), which made the 16V really fly from 5,000rpm. Decisions, Decisions I chose the Rallye as I ...  Read the complete review

Where do I start on a review of the Peugeot (Pug) 106 GTI? This is a car that I have loved since I first saw one 7 years ago, but I will try not to omit the bad points from my review. I have owned my little beastie for four months now and it is the second one (and third 106) that I have owned. I wasn't really looking at replacing my Rover Mini but a friend of mine was looking through Autotrader for a new car and I spotted a little black 106 GTI looking for a new home. It was priced at around the same amount I would get if I put my Mini on the market, and having never truly got over losing my first GTI after crashing it I knew that I ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Peugeot 106 GTi: 106 XS i would rather not (482 words)

I am lucky enough to have a father that owns his own car business which means i have access to a lot of different cars. In a fit of stupidity, I bought myself a 94 'L' Cherry Red 106 Xsi, to carry me around my busy student schedule. Don't get me wrong, the 1.4 engine was fun for... ooh... 5 minutes, I even managed to enjoy the Go-Kart like handling for a while. I don't wish to sound too harsh, the 106 Xsi is a fun car, if you're under 6 foot, which i am not. So, lack of head room can always be overcome if you open the sunroof. Be careful when it rains though, what am i saying? If it rains you will get wet anyway because of ...  Read the complete review

If you have read my car ops you will know I love my cars. I dont tend to hold onto them for long and therefore have plenty ot write about. During the reign of my primera, I also owned a little Peugeot.... I bought myself a new 106 GTi about 18 months ago which I have now sold. I did this because I bought a 205 GTi when they were coming to an end of their lifecycle and loved every minute behind the whieel. I sold it due to garage space. My Primera, my 106 and my wifes car taking up too much space. One had to go and the 106 lost on technical merit and practicality. Good job really as we now have a Bemmer too! While the 106 is better is ...  Read the complete review

I have test driven this super mini on a few occasions and after each time my desire to own one grows even further. It's a drivers dream. It's powerful 16 valve 1.6 L engine will leave many a car for dead. It scores so highly in all reviews - rated the second best handling car in the world by Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson - beaten only by a Ferrari. Drive one and you see why. The suspension is perfect - soft enough so that long journeys / motorway driving is very comfy - hard enough so that you can throw this baby into corners at speed and feel its grip to the road. There's virtually no body roll - the nack end will slide out ever so slightly to ...  Read the complete review
