1997 Peugeot 106 GTi from UK and Ireland - Comments

Nothing really. First service was very expensive because the brake pads & discs had to be replaced. Garage should have noticed this before it was sold.

A very good car, although by reading a lot of the reviews, I think it it over-hyped a bit. The Punto HGT is considerably quicker, albeit without the reliability. Brakes are also weak. The car has fantastic mid-range pull though (ie-between 60 and...ahem..100)

Heavy clutch, so traffic is a pain.

Gives you a great driving experience, great handling, chuckability, looks fantastic, especially in red.

Have upgraded to a Subaru Impreza Turbo, but will miss it!!

Although it will comfortably out-corner the 106 due to superior mechanical grip, the Impreza will not have the same balance, throttle adjustability or sheer chuckability as the 106.

Apart from the 205 and 306, little else will.

I agree. Although I couldn't resist the sound & stance of the Impreza!

I've done 0-60 in 8.7sec in my 106 gti.. not bad eh! (completly standard)
