1993 Peugeot 106 XSi review from UK and Ireland
"Top notch motor!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty oil gauge, loose fuel injector, otherwise good.
General comments?
It's a reasonably big engine in a very small car which means good performance. 0-60 is pretty good and not many people can beat it off the lights. The sound is a sweet little roar from both engine and exhaust.
The handling on tight roads is second to none. It is very light and you can whip it round the corner before you know it. However, long sweeping corners are slightly daunting at speed. This is hoped to be improved by dropping it and possibly some sixteens.
The interior is very tidy with a simple uncomplicated dash, but also very good looking. The bucket seats provide stability and it also provides good acoustics for a serious sound system.
From the outside it's a joy to watch, even with standard rims and no major styling. It's just a good all round first car, apart from the hefty insurance, well worth every penny though.
