Lightweight French hatchbacks have something special no other cars seemed to ever manage. More than just being lightweight, something about how they tell you everything and are like keen puppies desperate to please and just GO! Great vid this. Cracking car.

[@yvesstocky9936]

true so. I had an 106 XSI 16V years ago, on curvy roads, slight descent as fast as my 400hp Evo7

[@turbosydney]

This. Have a DS3r which is the last modern “lightweight” french hot hatch(at 1150 kg its 100kg lighter even than the Clio RS 197), with a 308 gti LSD gearbox with way shorter gears the car is really a blast and more fun than a lot of more expensive and powerful cars

[@ivanlazarevic78]

Thrue spoken...I had 106 1.6 Rallye back in the day.Fantastic handling car.Now I drive Clio 4 RS200 CUP and let me tell you even Clio on the curves feels like heavy car with less feel on steering wheel compared to that 106.

[@frbaba_vic8171]

I guess it's because of the frame of french cars, they're really cool.

Affordable back in the day. I paid £1750 for one in 2009. Sold it for £2k. Should have held onto it.

[@stoneeh]

Wow. That was very enjoyable. The engine might be the best sounding 4cyl I've ever heard - sounds angry, hungry for throttle, with a nice little higher frequency pitch in the last 1000 or maybe 500 rpm. The handling looks stable. The interior is beautiful. Nothing to complain about :P Props to the owner, and as usual thanks Misha for getting it on tape.

Awesome, I ran a 106 GTi track car for 12 years, along side my various 911’s, I often preferred the track days in the 106 for the shear chuckability and lack of fear of pranging it. 🙌🏼 lift off oversteer in the wet was always hilarious too. Plus it could show up some big power cars with inexperienced drivers.

[@lukkewalker6415]

Cant beat a small nimble car I have a Vauxhall or Opel corsa b with a 1.6 16v lightly modded at about 140 bhp and its cheep cheerfull fun, love this 106. Well impressed with this car and misha's comments!! Keep em coming lad.

[@20vtorestis]

in Greece they are everywhere,if its the 16v you can build a motor with 180hp +- with single throttle body! but the easiest thing is to go turbo, stock motor can hold 300hp with just a headgasket!

[@quicknickdriver8510]

The handheld gave a real sense of being in the car. That fellow knew his car well and had a smooth line. Great watching

[@tasosarpoudis1604]

to me the 106 is a favorite. Go kart weight and speed . Here in Greece the tuning scene was huge and after 20 years you can modify them really cheap. Sad thing is they started to appreciate and are losing their vfm

Very nice... the 106 Peugeot was very popular in the 90's! The club used to be called: Peugeot Friends Germany. I drove a Peugeot 306D Turbo... actually rare in Germany at the time - a nice 1.9 turbo diesel. The 106GTI later 106S16 were very popular. At that time there were also Peugeot 205 GTI, CTI and Mi16. One in the forum nickname *Miraculix* was the craziest :)))) The last meeting (2010) in Schweinfurt really rocked the old people. Those were the days! There is still a Peugeot forum but it's not like it used to be, that's it... and I drive a Suzuki Jimny FJ (heavily modified) which can also go through deep water ;)... It's really fun !!! :) )))

[@Khazar01]

the 106 is one of the best-handling cars of its era

[@JB29987]

[@BanjoLuke1]

The comparison with the 205 1.9 was slightly odd. Apart from both wearing a Peugeot badge and having a zero between two other digits, they have little in common. One left the factory as a stripped-out lightweight for rally stages, the other is the slightly heavier, slightly faster, but much flabbier cousin of an earlier GTi. A road car full of leather and toys. The 106 Rallye left the factory with no toys... Even the paint was only there to stop rust. It had (from the works) a purity of purpose that the 205 1.9 could never match. And it was light. Very engaging, absorbing and entertaining video of a fast, busy, keen little stage fighter.... Very good. Chapeau.

[@101andytoll101]

I really like these POV style laps as you feel the speed and bumps of the track much more. Feels much more immersive. Great audio too!

I remember when these cars came out. They were quite fast for the time. And lightweight too. Cool lap. Nice one. ✌

[@phillydelphia8760]

From a standing start they'll still out accelerate most cars, top end of course is another matter 😅 But you can get away so quick in these just because of the sheer lack of weight and inertia to over come. You can leave some pretty expensive machinery behind, and some of those drivers tend to get pissy about that 😅

[@DennisfromMunich]

Man I loved the lap so much! Your assessment in the end says everything I wanted to comment. You can see how it’s sufficiently powered and that you don’t need 200, 300 or more hp to have fun. Awesome video!

Nice! This 106 and his owner vids are great. Good choice and big send. "Slow" car, probably, but only in straight line

Always liked the 106. Good-looking little hatches and this guy even took the time to dress up the interior which is probably a rare thing to see in one of these bare-bone spec models. Next up, put a 306 or 206 gti engine in ^^ or maybe a k20 haha.

[@TotoGeenen]

Can make 190HP NA on these engines if you got the time and money for it :P ITBs, head polish and higher comp pistons should get you well started.

[@papapetad]

@@TotoGeenen That's a lot of work when a swap will give you 200 easy or even as a starting point in the case of a K20 (could even go full heretic and do a clio 2/3 2.0 swap) with tons of torque, understressed coz it's such a light car. Can get a bunch of money back by selling the 1.6 drivetrain also. Still goes very well for what it is though. Cars like these are so much fun.

[@TotoGeenen]

@@papapetad very little work to swapping an engine.

[@papapetad]

@@TotoGeenen Depends on the swap. I meant the cost of bringing that 1.6 to near 200hp would get the owner a good distance towards a 2.0 swap. It's never cheap. Wiring, ecu, axles and fabrication and certification etc... I'm just thinking a swap would be money better spent than wringing that 1.6's neck when it's already doing fine as is and a 2.0 in this thing would transform it into quite the special car.

[@mareksuchowski9127]

Nice ride and a cool car! 5th gear from the XUD9 (1.9l Diesel) fits the gearbox and adds 10-15km/h to the top speed (assuming he's running the 1.6l VTS from the Saxo/Xsara). Might be beneficial on the straights :)

Of course this is much more exciting than the stuff most people think they need nowadays (million hp, turbo, automatic, luxury). One of the closet and best value drives you could rent on the 'ring was (is?) a Suzuki Swift. Lift off oversteer always brilliant, relatively easy control fun.

Originally, 106 Rallye was the Peugeot counterpart of the AX Sport. Both were cheaper than the more powerful GTI version but also lighter, less equipped like a clubsport. The engine was dual carburetor and prepared by Danielson, tuning the two carburetors so they work well together was a pain in the ass, and it seems they needed to be retuned regularly. At first they didn’t use 16v engines and were 1.4 only. This one seems to be a 106 GTI that’s been named Rallye for the export.

[@ianmills1120]

Phase 1 106 rallye was 1.3. The later phase 2 models like this one were 1.6 8v. This rallye has had an engine transplant from a saxo vts so has the 1.6 16v engine.
