gingeRS

Ad4m RST

mattysxguy

ive got a 106 roland garros 1.4 with a few modifications

S1sam

Ive got a 205, does that count?

Mr Shannon

I used to have a 205 garros, pimp as you like with the cream leather

106's are shit unless you're a girl or have girl sized feet, the pedals are just too small and close together

smithy20vt

Brycey

S1 106 Rallye

and

S1 106 1.5 Diesel

John Laverick

I've got one....and I can assure you its not shit

kik1.6se

They are a quick 1.3 though. I paid £1200 fully comp. first year I owned it, but I've had it 5 1/2years now and it's only £300. Does over 40mpg when driven carfully and hadles like a go-cart on country lanes.

Yeah was one of them I got quoted on.

gurnE

I've got a 106XSi

Took it in part exchange in Jan but can't think of a single reason to sell it.

Fun to drive, keeps up with anything round a few corners just a it slow on the straight.

It's been totally reliable, just dailed through its MOT, costs £60 for 6mths tax and £190 to insure

My other half has a 1.1 Independance. The pedals do take some getting used to as the accelerator pedal is further to the left than my XR2i

turbo.jon

same here well not runabout as its me only car at moment as saving for new 1 at least didnt have to pay for it just nicked it off me bird

Oranoco

My sister has one. Cracking good fun to play in but built like shit

Daveesaunders

I drove my friends one once and couldn't get used to the pedals, just couldn't find the accelerator pedal with out looking down

Paddy

I took a S1 rallye in P/ex a couple of months ago and sold it for £400

It wasn't pretty but it'd only done 55k miles with loads of old mot's and history, some young lad off the rallye forum bought it [wouldn't be surprised if it was dead by now] and I think he got a fookin bargain

AddyT

The other half has one, in Bright Pink.

Paddy

Does he let you drive it?

AddyT

Ha ha, no, SHE doesn't let me drive it. Can't lose it in a car park though. Cant argue for a first car for a lady.

Paddy

Hell yeah!

Great cars, I had a 1.4 Xsi 10 years ago [feeling old now] and they're great fun to drive. And pretty reliable engines too unlike the headgasket munching 1.4 they put in the XS version and the 306's
