Peugeot 106 1.1 Zest2 3d (1999/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Better value than competitors such as Fiesta and terrible Corsa. Also great insurance - only group 3!
Costs
Parts not too expensive. Labour costs more from Peugeot dealership than dodgy Dave's Backstreet Garage.

On the road
Driving
Drives great up to 60, but noisey from there on. Not too good for the motorway.
Performance
Surprisingly quick off the mark with only the driver. Struggles with more than two in the car, expectedly.

Living with it
Reliability
Not the greatest. Fuel tank imploded! Idle problem and exhaust backbox coupling rusted after four years.
Image
Better than its competetors. Looks really stupid if 'badboyed'.
Comfort
Seats nice and firm. Very soft suspension. No extras like adjustable steering coloumn height, electric windows and central locking.
-
Security and Service
Security
Standard immobiliser. No one broken in, but I don't think it would be too difficult.
Service
Failed to notice collapsed fuel tank when changing a fuel pump. Showed only a basic level of knowledge on the service desk.
