Peugeot 106 1.4 Roland Garros Review

Overall Rating

Gorgeous-looking car as standard and comes with so many extras including the remote central locking, alarm, immobiliser and leather seats. The engine is extremely punchy and responsive and is quick. Handles like a dream.

Not had any problems with it.

My Peugeot 106 1.4 Roland Garros was a magnificent purchase. I previously owned another 106 1.5 diesel, however, this car puts it to shame.
It's stunning to look at as standard but I have put on a set of 15" decent alloys with lowered hardened sports suspension, it sticks to the road like glue and for driveability it's great to drive. I also have plans for a centralised twin DTM exhaust and induction kit to give it the great sound. I highly recommend a Roland Garros to anyone who wants an enjoying, fun car to drive.

  I totally agree. I have a Peugeot 106 Roland Gaross and couldn't be happier! It has great performance for a 1.4 and the handling is amazing after lowering springs. Top choice!

  I also have a Roland Garros 106 1.4, It leaves the standard pugs standing.
  I have only had to change the Clutch on my Roland.
  
  I've never had any major problems with it, I have plans to change the audio system in the car as the bass on the speakers tends to crackle rather than beat.
  
  I bought the Roland 1.4 for £1,000.00 and i think its paid for itself in the time i've had it (27 months)
  
  Any one looking for a Roland Garros 106 1.4 i'd highy recommend it to you.

  We agree. We've had Roland Garros since early 98. Done over 100,000 miles in it, and have only just started to replace stuff like drive shafts, lower suspension arms and front wheel bearings. It still has the original clutch and reardrums shoes, and it takes forever to go through rear tyres - front Pirelli's or Bridgestone/Firestone's. Have fitted front brake discs twice - once for the last MOT.
  We paid 5000.00 in 98, and this little car has more than re-paid for itself. Any one thinking of getting one, just make sure it's got history; after that, buy it!

  My Peugeot 106 roland garros has done in excess of 110 thousand miles, great car, great interior, fast as anything and aesthetically pleasing. Every part of the car is an upgrade on the standard, the bonnet has no raising pins (on a hydraulic) electric mirrors, funky gearstick, relatively spacious and cheap to insure and fill, one problem im having with mine is an eggy smell when been driving for long amount of time - anyone shed any light on what that could be or had a similar experience?

  Are Roland Garros lowered as standard?
