1998 Peugeot 106 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Nice car, very fast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Oil Temp Gauge went, requiring a new switch which cost me £25.
One of the drive shafts needs replacing which will cost me £125.
The door handle mechanism has just broken too, shouldn't be much to replace though.
General comments?
I bought the car despite it being an insurance write off 2 years ago. I had the car fully serviced and fitted some Red Dot brakes and pads and I'm very happy with it.
Although on paper it's supposed to be slower than a Saxo VTS (my last car) this feels about the same speed ie very quick!
2nd and 3rd gears are fantastic, you feel like you can overtake anything!
The car doesn't feel very solid though. There's definitely something not quite right with the clutch and/or gearbox, and the ride doesn't feel as solid as it should.
I'm very happy with it though, and it looks stunning. I'll just try and keep this one on the road though as I wrote off my VTS!
