Good Points: Fast, Great in the bends. 45mpg on a long run
Bad Points: having to get out.
General comments: 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 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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 love my Peugeot 106 GTi - it's great and I would only ever replace it with a Nissan skyline - I would highly recommend this car to anyone.

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 ...

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!!!

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!

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 ha ...

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.

This Peugeot 106 GTi is great! so much fun to drive. The free revving engine just loves to be revved! It makes you drive it like a maniac because you have to thrash it to the 7250 rpm redline. Handling is really good as you can feel everything through the steering wheel so you know exactly what the car is doing and what it is about to do. I love mine I'm sure you will love yours!

I loved this Peugeot 106 GTi, it was very very fun to drive as it was so quick for such a small car.
They come with 120bhp as standard and there are lot of performance parts for sale which boost this. I had a couple of mods estimating to have around 150bhp.
This little car beat my mates Bmw 740il in a race and I got it up to 145mph I was shocked more than my mate.
Would recomend this car to any one. Forget any other small hot hatch.

Peugeot 106 GTi : After saving up the dosh for a while I decided to scrap my old heap which was a ford capri 1600 laser (what a shed). I visited the autotrader website looking for a 106 gti and had plenty to choose from. I soon found a bargain, a s-reg for £3200 and soon had my purchase. I decided to get one because a friend had one and highly recommended it. As soon as I got it I tested it out and it easily pulled 135mph west bound on the m4. The handling is great, gear ratios good and su ...

What can I say about the Peugeot 106 GTi! In one word....Outstanding! This car is like a rocket! It can pull away like a fighter jet and gives you the biggest rush ever! This sporty hatch will keep up with even the fastest of the bigger engined cars. On a straight this car can keep up with a Honda civic type R until about 60 then the Type R begins to pull away. This car is far nicer than its relative the Saxo VTS (Chav car!)
The interior is stunning in comparison to other hatches and looks th ...
