About the Peugeot 106 S1
Launched in 1991 as a modern alternative to the legendary 205, the Peugeot 106 S1 (Phase I) quickly became a benchmark for supermini handling. The 1.1 XN served as the core entry-level variant, offering a lightweight chassis and a rev-happy TU-series engine that punched above its weight in city traffic. While basic in trim, its mechanical simplicity and sharp steering made it a favourite for new drivers and enthusiasts alike. Today, early S1 models are increasingly sought after as 'youngtimer' classics for their pure, unassisted driving experience and iconic 90s Peugeot styling.
