1992 Peugeot 106 XN review from UK and Ireland
"A great first car, but not a luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Within a month of having my car the starter motor broke. This was put down to general wear and tear.
The alternator belt broke after a long journey mostly on motorways.
The starter motor broke again about a month after the new one was fitted. This was put down to a fault in the starter motor.
The engine is now very loud when both moving and stationary.
There are a few loose parts due to rust, but these are very minor.
General comments?
This car is extremely nippy in the lower gears. Although it takes a few revs and makes the engine very loud this car can out start most other cars. Although it is fair to say that the other cars do swiftly catch up as this car is not so effective in the higher gears.
This is a great car to have if you have just passed your test as it is relatively easy to handle and is a great driving experience.
The fuel consumption is excellent in this car you can go a long way for your money.
Having played around with this car adding extras and fixing problems, the design of the car is dreadful some of the parts are near impossible to get to.
