By and large, tiny little city cars tend to be depressing. They are useful, yes. And they can be necessary. But that doesn’t mean that they are loved. They are appliances first…they fit the guidelines of a concrete jungle, they perform a task dutifully and they spare the owner the indignity of public transportation. But there is something about a tiny, light little go-kart of a car that can haul ass and corner like it’s magnetized to the ground that just makes us smile, and this Peugeot 106 does all of that while singing like a super bike. The stock engine, which at best might have coughed out 106 horsepower, was punted in favor of a highly tuned 1.3L engine from a Suzuki Hayabusa and just about everything else was optimized for cornering. A hill climb with chicanes? This little Peugeot doesn’t even break a sweat. It just uncorks a personality like a mountain lion that has smelled a scared hiker and goes for broke. A 205 Turbo 16 it isn’t, but this 106 looks like it would be a ton of fun at an autocross course. Monter dans la voiture, s’asseoir, se taire, et de garder quelque chose de bien…er, get in, sit down, shut up and hold on to something tight.
