1997 Peugeot 106 XN review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable and Nippy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Light cluster at the back filled up with water after going through a car wash, and blew two bulbs. This was cured by a trip to the dealer who drilled two drainage holes in the light cluster to prevent it from happening again.
General comments?
The car has been reliable. I have had it from new, it has sat on my drive in all weathers and in the winter it still starts first time. It's also very smooth and the ride is a lot softer than my Corsa was.
However the seats do lack support and I have found them uncomfortable on long journeys. I also find the pedals very close together. If you wear size 10 shoes or above you may find yourself hitting two pedals at once! My mother and sister both love the car and they do not suffer the problems I do with comfort. The car is very nippy and only sips fuel.
