2000 Peugeot 106 GTI review from UK and Ireland
"Best hot-hatch available, but expect a few problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering column rubbed and made squeaking noise.
Rattling in the dash and vibrating accelerator pedal at 60 MPH (both caused by vibrating throttle cable).
Wind noise from both driver's and passenger doors at 80 MPH+. Passenger seat-back came loose.
General comments?
Great looks, great performance, great handling let down by some sloppy build quality.
This car is a true "Pocket Rocket". Sticks to the road really well. Needs to be driven hard to be enjoyed. It still surprises me after a few months of owning it. Rock hard ride, nice for the country roads which are its true habitat. If you are looking for a fast town car this is it!!
Take into account the insurance group - UK group 14 (I'm 21 and it cost me £1350 fully comp!).
