Peugeot 106 (1991 - 2003) 1.1 Independence 3d (2000/X) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

A great little car for males or females, depending upon the colour you choose. It's a brilliant little run aorund for a first car but still looks sleek and classy, I love it!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone I know likes my car and think it was a great buy.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I'd only buy it again if I needed a new one soon. I plan to keep this car for a good few years yet, but when I get another car I want to upgrade to a bigger engine and less youthful car, although I do want to keep driving this little beauty for 5 or so years yet!

What are you likely to buy next?

Not a clue!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,850

When did you buy the car?

August 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

In my opinion I thought I got a good deal for the money I was paying. This car was only 6 years old and only had 48000 miles on the clock. Little dent in the passenger door but nothing to major and I fell in love with the car the first time I saw it!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

It is a dream to drive. Handles like a go-kart at speed around corners and responds well to anything you tell it to do. Accelerates away great but is easy to stall from stationary, but I did drive a diesel to learn and that's probably why, just getting used to it still. Will cruise along quite comfortably at 60mph or 70 if you're on the motorways. Very comfortable ride and not too noisy. Easily covers long distances with no problems, overall a really fun car to drive!

What's it like to park?

Never had a problem parking, apart from problems with my own skill in driving. Because it's a small car it's great to squeeze into little gaps.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong yet.

What's most practical about your car?

Economy. Being a small car with a reasonably small engine it suits the task of getting to college, 30 miles away, each day very well. It does roughly 45 miles ot the gallon, so get a good few trips out of it before I need to refill the tank.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The sound system, for a standard fit, is awesome. It allows you to put the volume up quite high before distorting anything. It gets loud enough to cover singing anyway, which is good enough for me.
