106 forums.

Pistonheads.

Autotrader.

Freeads.

Gumtree.

eBay.

Google.


The same way you look for any car. Specialised owners clubs, then the usual classified places.

Are you above a size 6 shoe?

    The going rate for a shitter is twice that of a GTi6 isn't it? And let's be honest, which is the better all rounder?

    nope, look in the right places and you can get a billy, mind slap a vts badge on it and its even cheaper, and just as nice looking IMO.

    I'm a 10 and found my 106 influenced what shoes i wore when driving. Couldn't wear my vans if i wanted to use the clutch and brake separately

    GTI 6 is a much better all rounder IMO plus anyone over 6ft wont look like a clown driving one!

    Had a 1.1 and Saxo VTS, with size 10 feet the pedals aren't that big a deal. Test drove a couple of 106 GTIs when buying the 306 aswell.

    They don't however have the same appeal as the 6 for me, don't feel as powerful, don't hold the road aswell, tend to jump around more, not as refined and for some reason quite expensive?!

    Did your present car fall into your lap as a mystical gold present from the gods?

    If it didn't then I suggest you 'may' have bought it.

    Anything else you need help with?

    Tbh I wouldn't want a 106 after owning a six, even though there isn't much in it until just past 60 I find them too small and they are a bit deathtrap ish. Basically I prefer the wider track and wheelbase of a 306

    I had the saxo, alot cheaper than the gti and the same car. I would try and get a standard one from autotrader or gumtree, 106 owners etc seem to think a 100k car is worth 2k because its lowered on vts wheels lol.

    Dare i say it was more fun than the gti6 at slower speeds and small country roads. 6 is a better allrounder though.

    How about the 106 Rallye 1.3? Kinda hankering after one Laugh

    How economical are they? Quite cheap to insure and tax, am very tempted but not many come up, and quite a few have had the 1.6 lump dropped in!
