I've had a couple of 106's and can honestly say they were one of the most enjoyable things to hoon down a B road

[@ScorpioChris100]

I've got an '03 VTR and paying 800 a year (no mods declared) with one year no claims. Such fun little cars to drive especially around country lanes and backroads. Put a few mods on them and they're an absolute blast! Nice to see you doing reviews of older and cheaper cars like this. 👍🏻

[@redactedcomment709]

X reg 1.1 106 independence model i got for £300 was my first car and omg i was as happy as a pig in shit with it. Todays new drivers is a different ball game in their brand new corsas/fiestas. They just dont know fun

[@thedogfather-yu2ob]

Authentic Aesthetics I'm buying a 106 quicksilver for my first car haha all these new cars have no soul

[@planes124]

Authentic Aesthetics yes

[@isaaclyonsf1]

I'm looking to buy my first car and I honestly prefer cars like the citroen saxo and Peugeot 106 to modern cars.

[@alfie_11]

All these new cars are just straight up boring and thats coming from a 16 year old

[@olli_ster3562]

I've got a 106, gonna start learning to drive in march :)

[@Jack-wu3ie]

One of my mates used to own a Saxo VTS, very funny memories in that car. The alarm or central locking never worked and I used to break into it very easily and move it around the car park or up the street lol with a few of us pushing. They do rolling burnouts very well in the wet also. Ahhhh childhood

[@Retrobeemer]

Fit uprated suspension & brakes and these are a cracking car for the money. They make good little rally cars. It's not all about big power and willy waving!

[@mardon85]

Yes my first car!! Oh the memories! The car that started it all!

[@finmcneill7835]

great review mate I'm 17 and have a 106 myself. I love it

[@rhodeley1545]

I’m 19 I got one of these for my first car, £500 - A 106 zest 2 with 63k on the clock . I love it it’s fun and easy to drive , great handling , comfortable and they do look lush if you ask me

[@chloejksdla]

Bought my zest 2 a year ago for 500 too and I absolutely love it, surprisingly nippy too

[@edamski8882]

Had a 1.1 Zest 3 for my first car, loved it! Then had a Sundance Yellow GTi after that, loved that even more and get loads of stick to this day (8 years later) for selling it. Great fun! Only my current Fiesta ST comes close for fun down a B-road

[@joshbanton1632]

1300 for insurance with mods and no black box and he says "that's not too bad" 😱 my insurance is 1700 for 1.2 polo E 9n (surprisingly one of the cheapest cars to insure for me?), no mods and a black box 😵

[@recall2880]

And I thought mine was bad at £300 a year

[@gamesmaster1060]

When I first started driving at 18 it only costed me 900 pound

[@timurgianti8385]

This must be the best 106 review I’ve seen! Thank you!

[@theolynwarrender]

More than happy in my 1993 Peugeot 106 XR 5 door. I'm currently 19yrs old and had it since 17, my insurance is now at 650 (2yr no claims). Having bought it for 400, I've also had the luxury of respraying the roof and bonnet myself (original colours) to fix up the sun-damaged red. True classic, just like a little go-kart.

[@brennantompkin]

just upgraded from a 1.1 to the quicksilver i love mine. sprayed yellow. tinted windows and lowered with scorpion black box. most fun iv had in a car so far

[@sheepy55894]

i drive a 1.4 Peugeot 205, started off with a 206 then moved to this, with a years no claims is 1400 quid to insure without a box, and it is a cracking car to drive, its so light and sticks like glue round the corners, anything that era and french i highly recommend, you just cant beat it for the price

[@adamivell]

Honestly when i was 16 looking at my first cars i legitimately had my heart set on one of these. What would have happened if id got one! Cracking little cars

[@Jack-dg1iv]

Adam Ivell what did you get instead?

[@adamivell]

@@Jack-dg1iv ep2 civic

[@Jack-dg1iv]

that’s a cool first car. I’m 15 and I’ve already started looking for a first 😅

[@churrraskaria]

best car to drive. excellent behaviour in curves and with little money you can easily upgrade it . and of course, the style and elegance never ages.

[@that_milano_ep3371]

My first car was a quilsilver awesome little cars! Mine had a gti engine swap and stuff absolute great fun! 👌👌 i strongly recommend 106s and saxos!

[@MerryFox-hc9ep]

I’ve had a few 106 quicksilvers wen I was younger I loved them there very hard to get hold of these days

[@mynameischef323]

im soooo happy theres finally a 106 on the channel been waiting so long for this

[@lexburen5932]

I've had it's bigger brother the Peugeot 306 1.8 8V 101HP, had a lot of fun in it for 4 years. Peugeots are known to have issues. but find a good one, and they are good comfortable reliable cars

[@arbitercsgo]

Just turned 18 and my mum has gifted me the 106 zest 1998, looking forward to driving it

[@kevcahill89]

This just makes me want to get out in my GTI as soon as I can. It's coming back this week from having surface rust treated and being undersealed. I have it insured on a classic policy here in Ireland for €380 with all mods declared and 3 points.

[@blatantlyjohn6234]

Love the hate the Saxo & 106 get. Such amazing little cars. If you haven't driven one you wouldn't get it. I've had 2 Saxo VTS's, the current one I've had for 7 years.

[@TorpedoStudios]

Blatantly John ikr i hated them too but i love my 106 now

[@1986jimmyray]

My first legal car on the road was a 1.1 granny spec 5door saxo forte. Paid £150 for the car and it was such a fun little car to tear about in. I paid a smudge under £1200 for the pleasure of insuring my £150 motor and I was 25 when i finally passed my test (unfortunately was banned from driving from 15 but being young and stupid, continued to drive and get cought until I finally grew up and behaved long enough to actually get off my ban and drive legally) I was shocked at how much it cost me at 25 to insure a saxo but the 106 and saxo's were so good to drive, it was worth paying instead of finding a boring, cheaper car. Mine was modified with filler in the arches and masking tape holding bits to the car, it looked a a mess but flew through 2 mot's and never missed a beat in all the time I owned it, regardless of how much abuse I threw at it :). Loving the variety of content, keep up the good work :) 👍 😃

[@JGrindel]

I drive a 2010 Skoda Fabia 1.6 TDI (I am a commuter so need a diesel for those MPG's) I love hooning it around on the B roads maybe the body rolls a bit but it puts a smile on my face :) - Insurance 950 a year fully comp and I'm 20!

[@oliverurban4721]

Recently I bought this car again (1.1 60HP), we already had one in the 90s. While driving home I instantly felt what I miss when I drive newer cars nowadys ....

[@Michael-vg3vh]

The awkward silence from gear 1 to 4, definitely the first time I've not heard Jamies laugh through the gears haha

[@xQOLPx]

First car was a SportKA and was only just over 1000 to insure with exhaust declared!

[@zaink7037]

Brings back memories of my dad's peugeot 106. was a 1.5 diesel naturally aspirated, silver, 5 door. My dad says it was little in power but thinking about it diesels nowadays are turbocharged. feels funny as my current car is a peugeot 107, the replacement to the 106. My dad had a bit of work done to it the biggest one being a gearbox change and clutch. ive forgotten the issues he'd had but it put him off french cars. the reason he let me get the peugeot 107 is because it has a toyota engine

[@RWL2012]

Was NOT expecting this Jamie!

[@sebastianmiticky2491]

106/vts two awesome little rockets

[@LukeGB003]

My Grandad used to have a 106. I don’t like french cars but this is a good car.

[@MikeMk6HD]

my first car was a 1.1 saxo I payed 1200 for the car at the time with about 53k on it and another 1800 for insurance with a black box but that was back in 2013! now I'm in a 2006 fiesta st and paying 500 a year. watching this video brought so many memories of how times have changed these where the cars to have back in the day! still prefer to have one over a corsa any day like Jamie said!

[@db9sf]

had a vts at 18 one of the most memorable cars i have had until you have driven one you dont know what its all about shame you dont see them these days

[@TrollThings247]

as a first car i heard its cheaper to insure a family saloon than a "hot hatch" due to it being driven by older people who tend to crash way less. this is the route im going to take

[@sputnic3032]

My first car at 17 was a saxo vts which cost 2k in 2007, but I paid 2.5k for insurance as a named driver on my mums 3rd party policy. The first week of every month was amazing, because I could afford the fuel to drive it around.

[@Metroracer]

I own a Saxo 1.4 and they are very fun little cars, currently im paying £363 fully comp with 2 years ncb at 31

[@proinmaking]

In 2008, at 19 a 1.1 106 was my first car. £1200 insurance. Nasty. Metallic gold btw. An obvious fanny magnet.

[@anab0lic]

Legendary car

[@nandohb1]

I live on the island and have owned 3 of these Frenchies - I paid £1500 insurance for a 1.1 106 when I was 19 so £1300 for a 1.4 at 17 is unbelievable! My Furio was doing 52mpg average so yes, it's doable - was seeing less from my 1.1 spi which only did 38mpg average. All three are scrapped now though - 2 from head gasket failure and 1 was a write off from a dented wing.. Very common problems are the head gasket, driveshafts, and rust!! I've moved on to a Ford now though - it's a whole different scene.

[@liammartin814]

Got my second car at 17 and it's an astra sxi twinport for 1100 pound off of more than black box but that's basically 400 deposit and 70 a month with my speakers and two half leathers out of a vectra declared aswell as less people in accident :)

[@gordonremsey8055]

Dunno why this car gets so much hate. I've sat in one and drove one and it was really fun experience.

[@marcolopez2483]

I had a mg zr for my first car 1.4 101 bhp what a barrel of fun they are to drive but what a nightmare for problems

[@stobart1993]

the heads normally go on them!!

[@joshbriggsDayZBeast]

I have a 2001 ford KA 1.3 as my first car, unfortunately, but the car was free and insurance is £1100 blackbox. A good friend used to have a nice pug 106 1.1, he paid around £1800 with no blackbox, even the 1.1 was bloody rapid for a first car, much quicker off the mark and around the bends than a 1.4 mini one. One day pug 106's will be so nostalgic and worth a good few ££££

[@robblundell4069]

I've had 5 106s, first was a 1.1 great little car and then 4 gti's and I still own a gti now as well as a catalunya turbo classic impreza. the 106 gti I have now at 22 is £70pm.

[@khfjvc4632]

rob blundell 4 gti? and one now? at your age? why not just keep the first?

[@robblundell4069]

khf jvc Crashed the first gti, the next two where rotten so sold them on to then buy the one I have now.

[@Chippaaaaaaaaaaaa]

1.1l with 900 insurance mods declared. I did have 1 years no claims bonus when I got it so that probably helped

[@WillMclennan]

My first car was a 1.1ltr 106 zest,.. and that cost me 1100... so for a 1.4ltr that price sounds amazing! not to mention i was 22!

[@mattheww055]

Bought my Quiksilver at 16, cost me £1400 to insure, back box declared with a black box in it. I wrote the car off, had it rebuilt, and it's now my track car. I will never, ever sell it!

[@MikefromManchester]

My mate had one of these. The suspension is either shit or to hard. Everyone had puntos,corsas,saxo vtr/vts,106/206/golfs around the time I first started driving. I had a 1.1 punto as my first car £1800 3rd party insurance. Get the vaseline out.

[@tomthevloggernaut]

First car was a 1.1, insurance was expensive but one of the most fun cars I've ever driven. Hopefully getting a low mileage GTi by the way, may get in touch Jamie ;)

[@49cchris]

quicksliver slammed on the back with uprated gti6 brakes n a vts lump and straight through exhaust... mopped n ready... iv got the pug bug!

[@TommyT_]

If you can insure that you can probably insure the saxo VTR that those rims came off and imo, that's a better choice. Good luck finding one that hasn't rusted though I suppose.

[@bisterousmusic2738]

My 1st was a slammed VW Lupo at £2000 at 17. Now I'm 19 and have a Vauxhall Corsa d Sri 1.6 turbo and pay £1600 with isn't too bad and I love the car to bits

[@LiamS94]

My first car was a 206... not as fun as the 106, the body roll was nuts and it wasn't quick, but giving its 1.4 nat ass engine a bit of a rag from gear 1 was pretty enjoying. TU engines are great.

[@faultless97]

would have liked one of these or a saxo as a first car tbh i can remember being abou 10 and seeing them racing around cannock. Instead I had my mom's old 1.5dci 65 clio it's by no means fast and will get left behind by almost any modern car but when you get the chance to thrash it down a clear open B road it suddenly becomes such a fun car to drive.

[@liamkelly5506]

I hada 106 1.1 independence 7 years ago when i was 17 and it cost me £2300 to insure it in my own name at the time. Had the car for 3 and a half years before it failed the mot and was gona cost to much to put right, but I absolutely loved the car to bits. Always would have loved to have a quicksilver, xs, rallye or gti one with a bit more power. Always regretted selling my one off and not fixing it up and putting it through the mot.... even half tempted to buy one again for a cheap run around.... if it wasnt for your knees being the only crumple zone....

[@TheMinikid22]

my brother had one of these, was quite a nice car

Ah the ‘joys’ of car insurance at 17 in the UK, my first car in 1992 was a ’87 Renault 5 1.1TL, cost me £1400 to buy, £1500 a year in insurance.🙄🙄, ragged it senseless then bought a R5 GT Turbo which was so much fun😜

[@danielsnell9053]

I was paying about £95 a month for my VTR when I was 19 but that was with a black box. I'm thinking about getting one again as they're fun little cars. I just wish the build quality was a bit better

[@jamesmartin4344]

"Would rather keep one of these on the road instead of financing a corsa" I have a 106 quicksilver, broke down, didn't have the time to fix it so financed a corsa. 106 is all fixed now tho but it's declared off the road as I've already got two cars on the road. Had a 106 quicksilver as my first car when I was 17 cost me £170 a months to insure as a named driver with my mom as the policy holder. My latest cost me £55 a month till I swapped it for a corsa but I'm 25 now.

Hi Jamie I had a 106 at 17, I paid £800 for the year with mods declared, no black box, mine had a remap so produced 90bhp and 92 torques, they were terrible for the pedals being too close and the boots weren't that big

[@shiftypyros]

less of a hot hatch, more of a butter chicken on the hot scale. Its a hatch for sure!

[@danielsnell9053]

My opinion on Saxos and 106s is DO NOT BUY AN OLDER DIESEL 106!! (ones without power steering, electric windows and a rev counter) I had one briefly as a cheap runaround so I could save up to buy something better but it ended up costing me more money because it went wrong all the time. The head gasket went after it had just been done and the wheel baring kept going after it had been done multiple times. My best mate also had one and the clutch cable went as well as it have other problems of which there were so many I can't remember. If you are going to buy a diesel 106, buy the later models as they seem to be okay. My best mate bought one from a scrapyard a few years ago and it's never let him down and he goes up and down the country in it. As for Saxo's, my VTR was a good little car and was surprisingly reliable despite all the horror stories. I used to go all over the country in it and it never let me down. I only things I didn't like about it really was how cheaply made it was and how uncomfortable the seats were

[@mrmotormouth8009]

Got a 1.1 Saxo and it costs £2150 to insure without a box, done 10,000 miles in two months and hasn't broke down. Yet.

My mate had a 106 quicksilver back in the day at uni, was awesome! Still got my VTR after owning for 7+ years I can't bring myself to sell it even though I'm running a 172. You can't beat a cheap French hot hatch for shits and giggles, though they are flimsy and unreliable as fuck.
