Peugeot 106 (1991 - 2003) 1.4 XSi 3d (1992/K) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Says i need to buy a new car as ive had it since i was 21 and now 30 really need to move on.

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

Well my sister liked it so much she went and bought her own xsi. That one unfortunately was a bit of a shed.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, but there are very few left now that have not been 'keved' and in a few years standard 106 xsi's will be non existant.

What are you likely to buy next?

Peugeot 406 coupe, 2.0 - pure class

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,000

When did you buy the car?

September 2001

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Because its awesome, and 9 years later i still think that.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Awesome. Not a huge amount of power but it was 100bhp when new. Around country lanes and A roads it is exceptional. But put just one adult male in the passenger seat and the total lack of torque really starts to show. It is also not a motorway car, 4000rpm at 70mph - which is not so nice. Interior is comftable if slightly badly coloured.

What's it like to park?

Easy,

Have you had any problems with the car?

Paint on roof fading, only minor issues with a car built in 1992.

What's most practical about your car?

Small car, good mpg and low insurance. The simple fact that it's an xsi and not a GTI keeps the insurance down, the performance is apparently as good as the 205GTI 1.6

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

All the electrics such as RCL, windows and mirrors were quite fancy in 1992 and i still appreciate them. Drive the standard version of the 106 and the xsi will blow you away.
