Peugeot 106 Independence

Well I don't no what Luke the Dude was driving but I bought a 106 Independence 3 weeks ago as a car for work, my other car being a Subaru WRX and I would say the 106 was quite nippy for it's size. I would agree the pedals take allot of getting used to and the steering is heavy when getting on and off the drive, being a model with no PAS I suppose it all boils down to what your expecting from a car of that price, you can't expect Primera quality and luxuries at 106 prices. I would be happy to recommend it to anyone, I am getting approximately 43 mpg which is twice what im getting with the Subaru. Before buying the peugeot 106 I had a fiesta 1300 and it did'nt ...  Read the complete review

Having recently suffered the loss of my beloved Primera, me and my girlfriend went out to get a new car. We quickly came across a 106 Indep. on a 52 plate for £2300. Only seeing the outside of the car I thought it looked alright really. Then came the test drive... What a let down. It moves as quickly as a tortoise on ketamine, the pedals are dangerously set out. I try to accelerate, oops my foot's on the wheel arch, so I'll brake now, but oh no, that's the accelerator AND brake! The spec is awful. It's like the cars travelled into the future from the 18th century! No electric windows, no remote locking, not even central locking, no ABS, and to be ...  Read the complete review

I suppose I better start by telling you this aint my car and is my girlfriends, I'm totally against buying brand new cars, but there we go, she aint, I am on the insurance though and have drove it round a fair bit, so here we have it a review on an 03 plate Peugeot 106 1.1 Independence!. THE CAR You see loads of them on the road, the smallest Peugeot of the road, the baby 306, the car Peugeot made for women!did I really just say that? Well it is, I'll tell you why later. The version I'm reviewing is the entry 106, the independence, stripped of all the usual 'comfort' features you find on a car these days, this car goes back to ...  Read the complete review

My 1996 Ford Fiesta was ok, it drove okay but it had a minor dent and scratches on it's bumpers. It also had a knocking sound from the crank shaft as well as being a tad sluggish. Still it had four wheels and went so I wasn't really bothered. One night I was flicking through a local newspaper and saw an advert from our local Peugueot Dealer, the 106 was on offer for £5995 and looked like a good deal. For your money you got a brand new car with a 3-Year Warranty, a cd player and a years free insurance. Compare this to the likes of the Ford Ka for example and it looked a good deal. The thought of buying a brand new car had never occured to me before but I ...  Read the complete review

My mum bought an M-reg 106 about three years ago, and now she has bought an X-reg replacement because she was so happy with the old one. I’ll try and write about the new Independence in comparison to the old Mardi-Gras model. I have driven this new car of ours for a few of months now, and, dispite my initial reactions, I have now got used to it, as you do, and now I can only praise it! Now, this is a three door 106, the old one was a five door, and this makes such a difference. The new 106 has, bigger side doors to allow people to get in easier, and seems very big inside in comparison. The front of the car does seem very much bigger, this is ...  Read the complete review
