Thank you! Sorry it took forever to publish!

8:34 is not bad at all! I liked Peugeot before going to Alfa Romeo.

What brakes are you guys using in this little marvel?

[@messedup3080]

@@cancianrally almost certainly from peugeot 406 v6 they bolt straight on

[@connorhart770]

Finally!!!

[@lukasadamson6091]

Those underdog car videos are the stars of this channel imo.

[@arekb5951]

You don't need much power to have fun, this is a perfect example!

[@sibzilla]

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.

[@neodonkey]

This so perfectly describes the AX GT when I had it as a young un. Massive love here for the french hatchbacks!

[@ErikB750]

He even had brake lights for blind people .... Love the variety of cars on this channel The one camera, hand-held footage added drama ... or even more correct: showed the true experience. Great car, delivering all what's expected. Congrats

[@catstopower]

I love these videos of affordable cars and this one checks all boxes: Light, small, not much electronics, looks good, small engine, doesn't sound bad and most importantly, puts a smile on your face.

[@1000sofusernames]

These things are rapidly going up in value. They aren't that cheap.

[@BotulinSpikedMarzipan]

Now that's an indestructible Peugeot

[@ceirwan]

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

[@gweflj]

I’ve owned a Clio Williams, 16v and 205 1.9. The 1.3 Rallye and to a slightly lesser extent, the 1.6 Rallye is the better drivers car. The steering is unbelievable. Lotus like. If they made them again I would buy two tomorrow!

[@jorgevale4587]

Xsi 1.3 100cv with xad gearbox

[@scottharvey2852]

106gti was by far my favourite

[@keronGR]

Can't be made again.... Because the metal sheets were so thin. You simply had to avoid crash!!! We called them zinc cars

[@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.

[@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele]

Yes ad it will be very much enjoyable also in smaller tracks!

[@Khazar01]

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

[@R19Robbin]

So sick too see that little 106 overtaking all those nice cars 💪

[@BotulinSpikedMarzipan]

Nicer car takes the lead

[@scottiedog100]

Suprisingly nippy for engine size. Power to weight im guessing

[@davidsmall7676]

Fantastic lap! I could see you building a car like it Misha. ❤

[@lynchygt233]

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.

[@cadutavares5]

Peugeots are monsters of stability! So nice to see one in the channel!!

[@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.

[@johnwallace520]

Really enjoyed that. A good smooth drive too. Takes me back to my competition days and small well sorted FWD hatches that can surprise the big boys.

[@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

[@leonm6969]

[@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

[@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!

[@tombulli1236]

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 !!! :) )))

[@themorganator]

Such a cool little car. One of my top 5 driving experiences was in one of these (the old 1.4 version) and it was absolutely sensational. Can't believe how much they're going for now!

[@markdiesel6432]

The S1 was a 1.3 and had Peugeot Sport inlet manifold and fairly aggressive cam as standard. The 1.4 was found in the xsi

[@xzst]

This car is probably a blast to drive on the Ring! Lower powered cars are great.

[@frederikjacob1985]

After owning a few years ago a Subaru BRZ, done some Trackdays with it, seeing this (and owning a boring car), I'm really in the mood for a build like this. Doesn't cost you an arm and a leg also and it's big big fun! Thx Misha for sharing also this kind of cars... You are a hero!

[@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!

[@CharlesA24]

Seriously this is one of the best car/owner we've seen. Just love the car. Thanks for sharing. Great video as always.

[@platzhirschtv4770]

In terms of the price. One of the greatest Cars ever build, in my opinion.

[@Induleo]

Wouw, i love those pocket rockets, the sound, the handling, the fun they make on such a track. I'm very happy about you being able to make this video and agree that it is sufficiently powered. The E34 M5 in the background in the beginning was nice too!

[@iceb-akap77ice93]

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 😅

[@xXxH8TERxXx]

He is fast with it thats for sure 💪🏻😎

[@samuelgomez3311]

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

[@leejeongtaek]

Superb Footwork Peugeot, Underrated Track Machine.

[@sids2498]

Beautiful car and beautifully driven. Thank you for the ride along. 👍

[@wzpu3283]

Clean blue Peugeot with a nice lap. Thanks Misha and car owner. Props to the builder of the car.

[@papapetad]

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.

[@air_piepie2052]

Bringinig my 106 XSI to the nurb is my dream, seing this just made my day, such a great build ! Kudos to the owner, very special baguette there

Great driving and best fun car for the Ring! Lots of sensations!

[@user-yb8sh1rz6b]

fantastic video! this little car is a masterpiece of driving pleasure..driving it and you feel blessed by god...congratulations to the guy having this car in such a condition!!

[@botiduran344]

Is all about sensations. All we like to feel inside us like a race driver, and with modern cars that require a lot of money to only have a fraction of the memories we have from the 80-90's icons... I don't care about a lap time if i don't enjoy lapping. Very happy to see cars like these on here. Keep the spirit!

[@sylvainjamais904]

Very neat build, certainly using it all, looks like fun

[@bratel3582]

i have this car and i love it, mine is completely stock with the 1.1 engine.... it doesnt have any power but it's very light weight and it's great to drive... mi goal it's to put that same engine, 1.6 liters dual cam and of course more upgrades and leave it as a track car... it doesnt have anything, no power windows, no asisted steering, just a radio and a cable throttle, its a very fun car, i love it!

[@user-hb3yy3uy5x]

Thanks for the Peugeot 106 video. It is a gianτ killer. Brought back a lot of memories. P.S. The blue carpet is the factory one.

What a beast,driving the 1.1 60hp version for a couple days with a hard suspention and the cornering is amazing

[@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 :)

[@Spark972]

Little angry boxes like this one always thrill me ! 😎🔥🔥🔥

[@dazeen9591]

I'm sure if the marshals heard those whining brakes, the car would not be allowed on the track again because that noise for sure goes past the static 100dbB noise limit.

[@quattr_o-11]

Nice car. Memories. I have had the 1.3 Rallye - Van Kronenburg. Lots of fun at 19 yrs old. 🤙🏼🍀

[@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.

[@NefretVR6]

Lekker gereden ouwe. Serieus genoten tijdens het kijken!!!

[@RotchildFrancoisJr]

I was missing the handheld shots! Gives a dynamic feel to the video, and makes it seem like you’re going warp speed haha 🔥

Yeah, the wobbly video's are my favorite! Nice car also!

[@superbrit3845]

The induction noise is awesome and it's all down to the Peugeot Motorsport RAM Induction kit it has fitted as I had the same one on my 106 Gti.

[@Fab84NL]

Ah no Misha, why? Now I’m sad again! I sold my 106 Rallye years ago and now I see this great video, great car and getting great memories. Need to buy one again!! Love it

[@80six30]

It looks like the slowest lap ever.... and I loved every second of it👍🎉.As much as I am a JDM fanboy, I am also a massive fan of a French hot hatch. Civic Type R and now a 106 Rallye , Surely Christmas has come a month early. Thanks once again for yet another cool video 😀

[@Flatmat]

One year I did numerous track days at Brands Hatch in my Evo 6RS2 and on one of them a really well prepped 106 Rallye was being driven beautifully and it took me a couple of laps to just get by cleanly (Indy circuit) down the start finish straight.

[@gaycha6589]

I love this class of car. Affordable, agile fun and quick

[@amelluis6161]

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.
