Advantages: Nice looking

Disadvantages: Pedals are far to close together, Firm suspension, Cramped interior

Men with big feet (and women for that matter), will have problems driving the Peugeot 106. I have size 5 feet, and had great difficulty with the pedals on this little one (they are far far too clost together). I'm a great fan of little cars, and have had no problems flipping between AXs, R5s and 205s. Stepping into a 106 was awful.

Yes, it's a small, stylish looking car, but despite Peugeot's sparse styling, it feels cramped. Drive-wise, once you get past the initial feeling that you're in danger of both breaking, accelerating, and putting the clutch down with your feet, it's not that great either. I love french suspension, and quite frankly, I was disappointed with the firmness of the drive.

I couldn't get over the pedal-problem with the 106, and it really for this reason only that I wouldn't recommend it!

Thanks to the people who rightly commented that I have failed to comment on very much more than the pedal problem. This is because I didn't drive the 106 for very long (partly because the pedals annoyed me THAT much), and found that it was a significant problem. I can't say much for the rest of the car for this reason, sorry guys.
