1999 Peugeot 106 Quicksilver review from UK and Ireland
"Quicksilver - Quick and Sexy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two parts of the Exhaust had to be replaced after 2 years of owning the car. Total cost was around £100.
General comments?
The car is fantastic! It holds corners well and accelerates better then expected in 4th and 5th gear! It's also excellent for beating people off the lights, although anyone with a 1.8 or higher will soon catch up!
The Interior is lovely, the Quiksilver logo is integrated nicely into the seats and overall it seems to hold that little bit more to it then just a bog standard 106!
The extra mod cons are: electric windows, power steering, ABS braking, central locking and the fog lights at the front look really good!!!
The only problem is they don't come with alarms, so unfortunately if you have a stereo it's far more tempting for the car to be broken into, whether you keep the face part in the car or not. My Quicksilver has been broken into twice for the stereo, but as I don't keep the face in the car the thieves have always left empty handed - except leaving me with a nice £200 bill each time to get the door fixed from their breaking in handy work!
Apart from that - I have had no problems. I bought the car when it was 4 years old and now into it's 6th year it's still going fine!
