1999 Peugeot 106 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Last real Gti"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear brake pads and disks needed replacing after only 8000 miles.
Offside drive shaft replaced at 15000 miles after inner rubber boot split.
Radiator replaced at 28000 miles (car is only 3 years and 7 months old).
Rattly interior.
Broken sunroof frame.
Misting of both rear lights.
General comments?
The faults can be frustrating, but all is forgiven the moment I get in the car and drive it. Nearly 4 years down the line I have still not considered replacing it. Always feels quick even in standard form. Handles very well, but can be tricky at the limits. Extremely high grip limits unless really pushing it.
Seats, rattly trim and noise can be tiring on a long journey.
Do-it-yourself knowledge is very helpful as dealers aren't so.
