1998 Peugeot 106 Zest 2 review from UK and Ireland
"Would suit learner or driver that lacks confidence"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sun roof leaked.
Breaks stopped working properly.
Windscreen broke too many times and leaked.
It's only a couple of years old yet sometimes the engine doesn't start.
General comments?
This car is great if you are learning to drive or recently passed your test, as it's really easy to drive and manage.
It's a surprisingly nippy little car even though it only has a small 1.1 engine. It can handle up to about 90 miles per hour without getting too shaky.
It's an uncomfortable car if you're taller than 6ft as it's so compact with a low roof and limited leg room.
The 106 can look stunning from the front, but from the side it can be ugly as it appears as if the back end is a lot higher than the front. This seems to be the case on many of the 106's not just mine.
Many of the 106's have great seat designs; blue, red or white large patterns. This can give a rather sporty appearance even the outside of it is more the opposite.
