The PEUGEOT 106 (1995-03) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6I 16V GTI is a sporty, three-door petrol supermini. In the UK it is a compact hot hatch, smaller than family cars but more engaging than an ordinary city runabout. Its size suits town use, while GTI signals a livelier character and weekend fun. Mycarcheck.com recorded 269 checks across 133 VINs, a useful snapshot of buyer interest. Examples averaged 96,000 miles and 3,000 miles annually, while the average private-sale valuation was £600. The data suggests around seven previous keepers on average; check each car’s history and condition, as individual examples can differ quite widely. The 106 GTI suits keen drivers seeking weekend fun or a small commuter, rather than families needing rear-seat space. Its lively, nimble feel gives it a playful edge over mainstream superminis and rivals such as the Citroën Saxo VTS. Seek a sound, well-maintained example and check its history carefully first.
