1998 Peugeot 106 XRD review from Malta
"Perfect for Urban Driving"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It started to knock when changing to the second gear. Then the dealer said that it knocks because of some dirt in the diesel which stuck in the injectors. Personally I don't believe them.
Started to leak Diesel from the pipe which enters the engine, but it was the dealer fault because he bent the pipe and snapped it!!!
Sometimes the passenger front door is hard to close and open.
General comments?
This car handles perfect as all other Peugeot do and good braking too.
It is very economical, in urban driving it do 55 mpg.
Good acceleration for a 1.5 Diesel and comes great if a Turbo is fitted on it.
Front seats are comfortable.
In the back there is not much room for legs although the boot is quiet big.
Good Looking.
