2000 Peugeot 106 Zest review from UK and Ireland
"Cramped, badly built, cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Boot lid stopped working.
Bonnet catch broke.
Bumpers lose their color and deteriorate easily.
Handbrake doesn't hold it.
Spare wheel brackets won't release.
General comments?
There are very few good points for this car; they are that it is very good on petrol, cheap to tax and cheap to insure.
Everything about this car is cheap and badly made.
The engine struggles when it comes to hills.
It feels very tinny and is like driving a coke can.
The seats are very skinny, and you get backache on long journeys.
Exceptionally cramped in the back, it is not possible to be comfortable.
The brakes are terrible, no other word for it.
The ride and handling is very disappointing and makes a Vauxhall Corsa seem like a Rolls Royce.
The interior is sparse.
Engine sounds like a box of nails being rattled.
It is basically a Citroen AX with a Peugeot body on top.
