1993 Peugeot 106 XSi review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, yet practical enough for anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty ignition module, burst radiator, drivers seat adjustment doesn't work, passenger door handle loose, alternator and spare wheel fell from bottom of car!
General comments?
Despite the list of minor faults above this car really in something else, it's an ideal car with excellent looks and acceleration to surprise far more powerful cars.
The small engine means you need to get your foot down to produce a decent amount of power, but when you do.. You'll find yourself doing 100 by the time you've dared to look down at the clock.
Carrying passengers has a large effect on performance because of the design of the car. This car will also happily do 350 miles on £30 or more if you can resist the temptation to get your toe down.
Compared to my 1.6 Fiesta this is quicker, better looking and with its full electrics is much more of pleasure to drive. Buy one now!!
