Well after selling my Mk1 Gti a few months ago after realising it just wasn't the kind of example I wanted to hold on to, I can't stop thinking about investing in a little 106 Rallye. Ive never owned a Peugeot before, only ever classic Fords and VW's. But I hear the original 1.3 is fantastic to drive. It really doesn't have the looks or classic appeal as the Mk1 and at 25 I'm not sure I'd ever want to be seen driving a white 106 with white wheels.

Does anyone have experience with Rallye Peugeots?
For reference the Golf..

Do it. Go really hard into a corner and lift of off mid way*

They're excellent. never driven one as they didn't have them in Aus, but the 205 GTi I drove was a very much more lively car than the Mk1 GTi

The white one depicted looks particularly good.

*Don't do this.

Lift off over steer.

MK1 gti wasn't that great IMO there were lots of similar faster cars and better handling cars but the mk1 gti car became iconic of an era/the uk.
