2000 Peugeot 106 Zest 2 review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger-side speaker rattled badly when I first got it. Dealer fixed it by re-adding the door.
Steering column squeaks sometimes, and the dealer have already oiled it once. Also the exhaust manifold started rubbing on the engine & squeaking, but it's been tightened & is fine now.
Didn't start one morning, but when it finally did the revs were all over the place, idling at over 2000. Hasn't done it since & haven't had chance to get the dealer to check it out yet.
General comments?
The car is very comfortable, especially as it's small and I'm big! (6ft 3")
For a small engine it's very nippy at slower speeds.
The acceleration tapers off towards 70mph, but this is to be expected with a small engine.
Easy to park due to the excellent power steering!!!
