Peugeot 106 1.1 Independence Limited Edition 3dr

Considered by many to be the best small car of the early 1990s, the Peugeot 106 was developed from the Citroen AX and shares much of its technology with the Citroen Saxo.The 106 offered robust construction, excellent ride and refinement for its time, plus superb fuel economy and lots of driver satisfaction. Well known in the past for having a wide choice of cars at affordable prices, time and scrappage has taken its toll, with numbers rapidly fallling off. Despite that, a good example is still a very nice thing to drive, and as such, it means the 106 is near the top of the retro supermini league. Launched in 1991, the 106 was a long-lived champion. The facelifted range from mid-1996 was a step forward in terms of interior and equipment, and ended up being topped off by the exciting 10 GTI .Theres a good selection of engines, from the humdrum, yet frugal 1.0-litre to the genuinely quick 16v 1.6. Most models are 1.1 or 1.4-litre petrols and both are good choices for performance, economy and reliability. The 1.6 16V GTi is by far the quickest off the mark, sprinting from 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds: a full ten seconds quicker than the 1.0-litre.Much of 106s appeal is its cheap insurance (group three for 1.0-litre), reasonable fuel economy (about 43mpg on average, across the range) and cheap spares: making it particularly popular with first time drivers.106 is generally well-built
