Anyone owned a 106 1.1?
Has anyone owned a 106 Zest? I'm looking for a 106 with power steering but someone has told me 106s are light on the steering anyway, just wondered if this was true.

Also, a rev counter. I suppose I don't need one but I do like to see the revs I am pulling.

Thanks mate. Decided to go with a Peugeot 106 if I can for about £800.00 and then mod it with arches and skirts like the Quiksilver/GTi. At least then my insurance will be low and I would have done something myself. Now it's time to find one, if I can.

Well if the steering is light enough I will be fine. I'd like a rev counter though. Maybe being too picky.
