1998 Peugeot 106 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Little pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Warped brake discs, got them replaced under the extended warranty I purchased.
General comments?
Absolutely wicked car to drive and the acceleration is wild, grips to the road like it's glued, not so good in the wet though. You will have loads of fun driving a 106 GTi especially when a 306 DTurbo tries to race, and you just laugh as you're powering past.
Insurance is a big problem if you are a young driver though, I'm 22 with 2 years no claims and had one quote of nearly £3000. I'm now currently paying £800ish (Do loads of shopping around).
Not too bad on petrol either if driven carefully, but it gets boring after a while.
