Nippy, good on fuel. A classic supermini!


Bad Points

Can lack room when it comes to luggage etc... Roof at the back can leak when it rains (as has happened on two 106's I have owned).


General Comments

We have owned Peugeot 106's for some years now and have grown quite fond of them We now own a 12 year old 1.1 XN model in blue. The car had done 51k when we bought it and it has now done 93K.
The XN is very basic with no power steering, electric windows etc... It is still an enjoyable car to drive. There is a sunroof, which is a blessing as there is no air con. For a 1.1, the car is nippy and good on fuel. I also owned a 106 Zest 2 and found a problem in both cars, however. I have noticed that the roof material in the back where the hatchback opens, gets wet when it rains. This is obviously some design fault with this make of car. I have used black sealant to try and fix the problem, but to no avail. This is the only really annoying thing as there is not a lot you can do about it in typical english weather. You can expect water to run down and accumulate in the boot so this needs checking if you want to stop mould from forming. Room in the 106 is as expected for a small car and it is time for a change if you are planning a family.
I would recommend this car, though they are not manufactured anymore. You will still get a bargain if you look round.
