Economy
Value
Very good value, never regretted buying it. Now looking for a newer one!
Costs
Apart from the normal exhaust replacement (first done 4years from new),and servicing, the 106Zest2 costs hardly anything to maintain. Robust engine means no costly unexpected repairs. The MPG is fantastic.

Driving
Safe and secure, yet great at traffic lights! Good handling, brakes and all round view.
Performance
excellent, a tad noisy over 70mph, but you wouldn't believe this car only had a 1.1 engine...great gear box ratio means no red faces at traffic lights or urgent junction pull outs. When you ask her to shift, she shifts, a confident drive.

Living with it
Reliability
Have had this car 4 years, and never broken down.
Image
Nice wheels, nice drive, I'm proud to say what car I own in the pub!
Comfort
Beware over 6 foot in the driver's side- you'll graze your head. And the leg room in the back is non-existent and uncomfortable if your driver is tall, as their seat could nearly crush your legs.

Security and Service
Security
No immobiliser on mine, nor central locking.

Other
KwikFit struggled to replace the original exhaust, as their models, which were for the 106, did not seal properly. They had to take a chance on another one, which worked. Be careful.
