1997 Peugeot 106 XL review from UK and Ireland
"I love this 106, it seems to have character and personality. How cars should be"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had a few reliability issues. The engine cut out on the motorway and doesn't like wet mornings, it adds to the personality, for some reason it doesn't seem to start too well if left for any period of time over 2 days, especially if you've been in another car. The engine management system is a manufacturing fault, it does not seem to supply enough fuel. Causes jerky starts after its been left. Of course it seems to work fine when you get people to come out and sort it.
Brake Callipers stuck. Handbrake stuck. No real big issues though.
General comments?
Very nippy car, Acceleration is good for the engine size and age, the fuel economy is great, managed 500 miles to a full tank on a trip to Scotland and generally 400 miles on usual local commutes and trips. Interior is nothing too special it serves a purpose.
Feels safer than my last car, responsive.
