Driving
The best fun you can have in a diesel.
Performance
Like I said, the best fun you can have in a diesel. Shows how far modern diesel engines have come when compared to the older Peugeot diesel cars.

Living with it
Reliability
Fault in warning lights caused the car to over heat and crack the engine block beyond repair, leading to over £1500 of repair costs.
Image
It's a 106, not a Ferrari.
Comfort
As you would expect for one of the most highly regarded super minis, it skips on expensive extras and mod cons. Basic as you would expect.
