1997 Peugeot 106 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Highly recommended"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really. First service was very expensive because the brake pads & discs had to be replaced. Garage should have noticed this before it was sold.
General comments?
A very good car, although by reading a lot of the reviews, I think it it over-hyped a bit. The Punto HGT is considerably quicker, albeit without the reliability. Brakes are also weak. The car has fantastic mid-range pull though (ie-between 60 and...ahem..100)
Heavy clutch, so traffic is a pain.
Gives you a great driving experience, great handling, chuckability, looks fantastic, especially in red.
Have upgraded to a Subaru Impreza Turbo, but will miss it!!
