Two parts of the Exhaust had to be replaced after 2 years of owning the car. Total cost was around £100.
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!
I agree with you're review 100%. I also have had my 106 quicksilver since it was 4 years old and it is now six. The car has caused me no problems in this time (touch wood) and it still looks good. I had the car alarmed when I bought it and it still got broke into even though I left nothing on show and removed the radio front. I guess some thieves are just jealous!
Peugeot's are complete rubbish. their tiny, plasticy and baggy.! If you want quality you buy a rover!!!
Heh, and that's why they went bankrupt then, and Peugeot still going strong?!? LOL, Rover's are for old people, want to buy a British car, buy Aston Martin!

"If you want quality you buy a rover!!!"
Funniest thing I've read all week.
A ROVER!!! HA! Everyone listen up! DO NOT buy a rover with a K series engine in it. The head gaskets blow all the time. And it doesn't matter how you drive it, it just depends which way the wind blows! There absolute rubbish I'd have a Peugeot any day over a rover! Shocking!
I own a 106 gti and it's an amazing car, but I think the man who came up with the rover comment is the reason why things get out of hand on here. Don't get me wrong rovers are fine, the 220 coupe turbo is a monster, especially for under £2K now, but are a completely different kettle of fish. As for the comment about head gaskets, try owning a 106 gti they are extremely prone, read some of the reviews, I've been lucky with mine on that front (touch wood).
