Peugeot 106 (91-03) - Review

Review by Parkers on
The best supermini of the early 1990s, the Peugeot 106 was developed from the Citroën AX and shares much with the Saxo. It offered robust construction, excellent ride and refinement for its time, plus superb fuel economy and lots of driver satisfaction. A wide choice of cars at affordable prices means it's near the top of the used supermini league. The revised range from mid-1996 is topped by the exciting 1.6 16v GTi.

Comfort

Not bad in the front, but not enough rear legroom. Often found carrying three (or more) teenage boys in the back who emerge looking even grumpier than usual. Difficult to get in and out of the three door.

Practicality

Adequate boot space so long as you aren't taking three windsurfing mates on holiday. Split-fold rear seats on most models but 106 was built before the current cubby-hole/cupholder fashion set in.

Behind the wheel

106 feels light years behind latest models from behind the wheel. The cabin looks tired and finding a comfortable driving position is difficult: the pedals are a little too close together and slightly offset, which is distracting until you get used to it. Other than that, everything works well, the dashboard is simply laid out and the 106 is always fun to drive.
