1998 Peugeot 106 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"The very best £5000 car you could ever own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brake disc's warped (front and rear). Due to previous owners lack of care.
The Cat gave up. This was replaced with a De-cat pipe.
Slight second gear crunch.
New clutch only lasted 10k.
General comments?
This car is very fast and a hell of a lot of fun. Within 20 minutes of owning it I had spun it on a roundabout (famous liftoff over-steer).
For £5000 what-more could you ask for. It would do 0-60 in 6.8 seconds and would cruise all day at 125 mph+. You get half leather interior, alloys, looks to die for, and best of all, rear wheel lift on hard cornering.
This car was so much fun it got me banned for speeding, so be careful.
I will own a 106 GTI again, no matter what the insurance.
