Well i have had my 106 GTI for a week now
and i must say its not that slower than my clio sport 172
sure i miss the grunt of 172 but the 106 gti is bloody quick for a 1.6
it sounds great on tick over, like a minature scooby
and there is loads of group n performance parts available from
peugeot sport
the handling is f-ing wicked loads better than the clio 172
its like a go kart
and its £350 cheaper to insure than the clio
i do miss the clio but iam making the most of my 106 gti for now
cheers
shorty
