★★★★★

written by on 29/11/2009

ive only had my car for a couple of months but what a couple of months!!

ive got the 106 gti 120 bhp engine, half leather interior, in indigo (rallye) blue with white rallye steels..the previous owner had work done on the car, he had cams, the head skimmed, full exhaust and induction kit..and this car goes like stink..it hits 5000rpm and you got a kick up the backside and the cars off!

ive recently taken rear interior out and all the sound deadening..just to lower the power to weight ratio abit more..(it only weighs around 900kg anyway!!)

My gti will easily return about 400 miles on the motorway and about 300 round towns, which is amazing for a car that was built to be a top of the range sports model!

the interior is to my liking but others may find it boring if theyve had more modern cars before, but its so lightweight it just helps get the power to the wheels.

ive not had any problems with the car as of yet, and know a few contacts so getting parts wont be a problem, peugeot have always been ok with me in the past.

gti's can be picked up dirt cheap now..i bought mine for £1600, it had 110,000 miles on the clock but had a full engine rebuild..find one like this and you wont be disappointed :-D

written by Helen1628 on 04/09/2008

I bought my Peugeot 106 GTi just under a year ago. At the time I thought I had a pretty good deal on it. Its 2002, had 63000 miles, reasonably good service history and was completely standard except for being lowered 60 all round for £2500. Since then I have had to replace the coil pack, get cam belt changed, and replace the whole rear axel and quite a few smaller problems. But I honestly believe it is worth every penny I have spent on it. My boyfriend has had a lot of small fast cars (Clio 172, starlet gt turbo etc) and my GTi never fails to put a smile on his face and it surprises many people with how fast it is and the way it handles. The GTi will beat most cars on the handling front as it sticks to the road amazingly. The car never fails to excite me when I get in it and I often take the long ways home. For such a small car it feels quite sturdy unlike the quicksilver I had before. I would recommend a GTi to anyway if you ' re looking for a very fun small car which won ' t break the bank. I recently took mine to Santa pod and managed to beat a 2.5 v6 Calibra on the 1/4 mile which surprised a lot of people. Nothing can beat the fast French cars!

★★★★★

written by on 19/06/2008

Have had my Peugeot 106 for three years now. Looked for it for two years and eventually found a one lady owner car run on modil one all it,s life. Paid about a grand too much but it has been a gem.
Have had puma 1.7 ,106 xsi 306 gti but this one i have kept as i can't find another car that makes you want to take the long way home.
I wanted one of these cars for ages and kept convincing myself to get the sensible option.
Well if you want one get one you won't regret it. The best car i have owned from a pure fun point of view.
Another great point is they are quite rare now. I have never passed another car the same as mine and people are always interested in them.
To be honest i don't think you can use much more performance cross country,so go out and play with the porche's and catch the look on their faces when your still glued to their bumper ten miles down the road,even better at night.
Don't believe then miss out.
Have fun you lucky few..

Buy one. They are very reasonably priced 2nd hand models out there! Very powerful car, rapid acceleration and can climb to high speeds with a few small, cheap tweeks. Leather interior is mint.

The Peugeot 106 GTi is cheap and is so dated now, just because it is fast does not make it a quality car.

“My Peugeot 106 GTi is the Supercharged version of the...”

★★★★★

written by PugHeaven on 04/12/2007

My Peugeot 106 GTi is the Supercharged version of the 1.6 but I replaced the 16v with 24v instead and what a difference! Even when the car was 16v it was powerful and acceleration flatspots were almost non- existent, but with the addition of a few little extras, the engine was turned from a 'nippy' runner, to a full on 'beast'. The standard vented brakes and callipers cope well with the normal engine power, but when modifying the car, it is essential the brakes are upgraded....... going faster, need to stop faster. This is, in my opinion, THE car of the nineties.

“I bought my Peugeot 106 GTi for £2500 with 80,000 on...”

★★★★★

written by tim311088 on 05/07/2007

I bought my Peugeot 106 GTi for £2500 with 80,000 on the clock. At first it was brilliant, the speed and acceleration was incredible for a 1.6 litre. I found I was leaving some 2.0 litre cars for dead at lights but the fun soon faded away when the cambelt snapped and I was left stranded. After buying a new one I was happy again until the rest followed, my drive shaft snapped, my catalyst converter on the exhaust broke, my clutch went, I'm forever changing bulbs and the most annoying thing of all the sunroof leaks (theres more but I wont go into them). The sunroof doesn't sound like a big problem but nobody wants to know when you ask about getting it fixed. I paid 100 pounds to have it repaired but it still leaks to this day. So far I've spent over £1500 on just fixing it, so my advice for buying this car is you better have a lot of money to burn.

★★★★★

written by daniellong on 05/04/2007

Haven't as of yet had anything wrong with my GTi but I had a VTS for a year and that was good and reliable but somethings did go wrong. My GTi pulls a lot faster in most gears because its done 60000 miles rather than 104000 of the Saxo plus I had 16's on the Saxo which did slow down the acceleration. And as for those who think the VTS is that second quicker your wrong. I don't no why they are an insurance group lower than the VTS or as to why they say 0-60 in 8.5 i get it in 7 secs all the time every time. There the same engine and everything is nearly the same including weight. Great handling and speed. I've wiped the floor with BMW most of em, Saab convertibles and most daily road cars. Even lost a scooby round the country bends one night. Definately get one! Petrol is good on my GTi 40 miles to £5 as the Saxo was £5 and 23 miles. Keep them serviced and clean and don't rag them constantly and they are reliable as any car. I've been driving 2 and a half years and mines £850 comp. Brilliant get one now there the best car for the money and they are so nice to drive.

★★★★☆

written by schnitzler on 03/04/2007

The Peugeot 106 GTi is a brilliant little car for fun but when buying check the history to see if the cam-belt has been done, and if not try to bring the seller down on the price to allow for replacing the radiator at the same time.

“I haven't been very lucky with my Peugeot 106 GTi, one...”

★★★★☆

written by MrNugen on 25/10/2006

I haven't been very lucky with my Peugeot 106 GTi, one of the pistons on my engine melted because of a loose fragment of metal in the engine, my coil pack has gone and the prop shaft needs replacing but once these things are all sorted, I hope to have it running well. You win some you lose some, but I have decided to keep my 106 because it is a seriously fun car, the handling is fabulous and the engine is rapid for a one six. I love the looks and the interior and hope to have it on the track one day. Not many cars in that range have the same appeal for me, they just have too much bulk.

My Peugeot 106 GTi is a really good little car. It's quite rough for long journeys but fun all the way. Mine was a good deal - £2100 for a 98, one previous owner garaged, full Janspeed stainless steel system including decat and manifold, CDA induction kit, with only 52k!!!

★★★★☆

written by Craig Horsfall on 19/07/2006

Having owned two of the Peugeot 106 GTi's, this is a very quick car and is the epitome of style. Various mods can be done to achieve an even quicker car for little money in comparison to others. A must have!! Forget the quicksilver/VTR, go for the GTI always. Even by today's standards (the foundations of the car is over 15 years old) it still outshines the newer cars, even the 206. Handling is superb even being on same level as a Porsche Boxster!! Oozes style!

★★★★★

written by r2ydo on 27/05/2006

What a car. It's eye catching (especially in Yellow!), great value for money, and there's great mods available to make it even faster! I started off with a Peugeot 1.1i 106 which was surprisingly good considering it's only 60 BHP!, but to then graduate to the GTI, it's in a world of it's own in comparison - so, so quick, with a much better body kit and interior. With the GTI not being made any more, the value of these seams to be holding, if not then it's going up, coz it's getting harder and harder to get hold of the later GTI's and not the knackered 98 models with 90,000 miles on the clock. If your looking for an affordable pocket rocket, then get the 106 GTI now before it's too late!

The Peugeot 106 GTi's are great, they are really under rated. they are also easy to mod mine was running at 157 bhp after spending £1,000 on mods, I was keeping up with my mates Type R with ease, they also look great when you drop them 60mm

106 the young lads pulling car, no boy racer looks, style and speed all the way. Peugeot need to continue this model with more mod cons. Best car Peugeot have made.
