Peugeot 106 (1991 - 2003) 1.1 Mardi Gras 3d (1994/M) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Well it's a "Mardi Gras" edition and that is not the best of things to have written on the car, but apart from that I don't really mind.

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

They think that it is fine for me to have as a first car. My friends do sometimes take the mickey because it is a "Mardi Gras" edition.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would definately buy another 106 but not a Mardi Gras edition if I could help it LOL.

What are you likely to buy next?

I am looking at perhaps a Corsa Sport or Maybe a Peugeot 106 XS. If I push the boat out I may look at getting a 106 GTI or a VW Golf 1.6

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£550

When did you buy the car?

May 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It was my first car, I thought it was a cheap bargain and I was right.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Good handling little car, slow for top speed. not really any mid-range power. And the car really struggles up hills. With the small standard wheels it does lose grip around some corners. I think it is something like 0-60 in 13 seconds?

What's it like to park?

Parking is fine because it is a small car

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yea ECU needed re-mapping, and I have had a new CV gaitor on the back. I have also had to replace a wheel cylinder which was leaking brake fluid badly! But then again it is 13Years old so...

What's most practical about your car?

It is great on fuel, I find that it is also average speed for a 1.1

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I have upgraded my car to have a premium sound system with upgraded: headunit, speakers, amp and subwoofer
