Good Points: Very powerful for a 1.4 8v,100 bhp! Light, galvanised bodywork so no major rust or rot. Good spec inc.14" alloys. Fairly economical.
Bad Points: Can't think of any major probs, though I've heard the driveshafts can become troublesome.
General comments: These cars are a good cheapmans sports car!
They handle like go-carts on rails, very responsive steering, and very powerful engines yet still maintain fairly good fuel economy.
I ' d recommend this car as a great substitute for more expensive to own and run sports cars like Audi ' s and beamers etc.

Used everyday and its great to know every morning your going to be driving a great little car giving you loads of fun on the way to work and then again on the way home. I still find it hard to believe that this little 1.4 xsi has only 100 bhp as standard. if you ever get the chance to own one of these or even better by one I would take it. In my veiw it puts most other 1.4 cars to shame like the Nova.

The is a brilliant car it my first car and I love it. It puts a smile on my face when I push the throttle down, and it is reliable and fast for a little car. I suggest you buy one I have beat a lot of fast cars because they just think its a slow 1.1!

I'm pleased with the performance of my Peugeot 106 1.4 XSi, even after it's clocked up 106,000 miles, burnt off a 1.8 Ford Focus. In the garage at the moment and I can't wait to get it back! Definitely go buy one but take someone who knows a lot about cars. I bought it for £800 and have spent £500 on it to get it in mint excellent condition. It's a dream car!

I'm now on my second Peugeot 106 1.4 XSi as you can't beat the original pocket rocket. First XSi was slightly modified (filter,Lowered,4 Branch pipe) and never had any problems until 75000 miles then intermittent engine problem forced me to sell it. Now on second unmodified XSi and runs a dream with 97000 on clock. Handles more or less just as well but seems less responsive than the modified version. All in all very good car for year.

I bought a Peugeot 106 92 black 1.4 xsi off ebay for just £700. It has done 117k miles and still drives like a dream. The handling is SUPERB! The speed is impressive for a 1.4, 100bhp standard! leaves 2.0 litre Vectras!!

Drive this Peugeot 106 1.4 XSi car around town or with any mechanical sympathy and it felt awful. Throttle response was woolly, the idle erratic and bottom end and midrange pull simply wasn't part of the equation. Let the revs build however and it changed. The clattery engine note smoothed out, the exhaust note took on a lovely deep growl and at 5,000 RPM the engine took off, snarling to the limiter at 7,500 with shove that you just wouldn't expect from a 1.4.
The chassis was much the same. I ...

I have an L reg metallic blue Peugeot 106 xsi 1.4 which I purchased for less than £1000 at an auction. I was looking to buy a slightly bigger car at the time, but this baby just looked so cute. It is absolutely spotless inside and out and looks almost brand new even though it is 10 years old. I was amazed that I left behind a Golf GTI and a souped up Vauxhall Corsa at the lights the other day, I was grinning ear to ear at the looks I got from the occupants of the other cars at the next se ...

I have a Peugeot 106 xsi 1.4 N-reg diablo red at 105 Bhp standard, extras include full magnex exhaust, K&N filter, Ecotek filter, momo steering wheel and gearknock, strut brace, vented front brake discs, etc, good throttle response, good cornering, great torque at around 4500rpm, excellant car, cheaper insurance than a GTI! With only around 25bhp standard less, for todays price for an XSI less than £2600, it's a bargin with comparsion to a 'typical' boy racer Citreon VTR which has 95bhp st ...

The Peugeot 106 xsi 1.4 is my first car and I absolutely love it! it is extremely quick for a 1400cc and sticks to the road like glue to a blanket! unless in the wet!!! last week I spun it in the wet and caused £1500 worth of damage to my car but I love it so much im fixing it! the only thing that I can comment on my baby peugeot is that it seems to fall to bits every 5 minutes... ...But i still love the thing and keep on throwing my money at it!

I have owned my Peugeot 106 xsi 1.4 for a year now. I bought it totally standard and have since put some 306 Gti alloys on, lowered it 50mm, janspeed exhaust and a pipercross induction kit. It now looks and sounds the part.I havn't had to many problems with the car except for how thirsty it is and how much oil it uses. Overall though i think the xsi is a super looking car and off the lights theres not many cars that can keep with it including saxo vtrs.

I love the Peugeot 106 xsi 1.4, you can take round abouts at about 60mph. Loads of fun coz they glue to the road even as standard, but since Ive bought my car ive had nothing but problems to be honest. After about a week of having it the car started laggin. so I had the throttel houseing cleaned, new plugs and leads,and had the ecu re-map'ed. a few weeks later started firing on 3 cilinders due to the new ht leads. and now exhaust is rattlein and its drinkin loads of fuel and oil can anyone help ...
