1999 Peugeot 106 quicksilver from UK and Ireland - Comments

French cars are crap - always breaking down and falling apart, as I have owned a few 5 turbos and a 206. Stay away from them. Slow bits of crap. Hondas are the most reliable cars, never go wrong and will beat any french car.

OK I came on this site to try and find something out... but I've seen some crazy comments and I don't know too much!

I currently drive a 1997 Fiesta mk4 1.25 Zetec, but I've been offered a 2000 106 1.4 Quicksilver for a relatively good price.

Can anyone tell me whether it is worth changing my car? I don't know a lot about the Quicksilver, which is why I am asking.

I drive a 2009 Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec. It has 82bhp

and to be honest it's a quick little car. It sounds great has a deep little exhaust sound. I've had 123 mph out of it. I smoked a Quicksilver the other day in a drag race, bearing in mind my car is brand new and the Quicksilver wasn't.

I doubt the car was actually doing that speed.

This says it all.. the 106 is great..

I would take that with a pinch of salt, it is a programme made for entertainment not facts.

Anyone who seriously rates the 106 over the Lotus Elise in terms of handling is only trying to be controversial. Yes it's light and chuckable and handles well, but it's only dealing with 120bhp, not the hundreds most of those cars are putting through the wheels.
