I think this article should be polished... We're talking about two different cars:
- Peugeot 106 MK1 thant is in fact the very same car as Citroen AX MK2 (AX MK1 had minor body restyle and commplete interior restyle plus fuel injection engines compared to AX MK1); they share engine, trasmission, all the mecanic parts, some interior and some body parts
- Peugeot 106 MK2 (longer, rounder and a little bit heavier than MK1) that surprise surprise is the very same car as Citroen Saxo, I don't know which came first but they are based on the same project, they share again engine, transmission, mecanic parts (that are different from MK1 model, even if very similar in design, they have different sizes) ans some interior/body parts.
Because of this lack of distinction i think some of the information provided is inaccurate; plus comments on quality of the make of the car compared to citroen cousins (or twins??) are not justified or at least inappropriate for an encyclopedia.

[edit] engine ranges are not quite right
as someone else has stated we are talking about two different cars, the Mk1 and Mk2. There are several errors, the first i noticed was that the engine range inclused a "1.5L diesel".. this was only available in the Mk2, the Mk1 had a different 1.4L diesel.
also i dont think the interior space is limited, its excelent, and rear passenger room was considerably better than most MODERN hatchbacks such as the VW Golf.

also the Mk1 1.1 had two diffrent engine sizes, the Aztec had the 1124cc and the Inca had the 1142cc but the 1124 had the better power output than the 1142 due to diffrent gearboxes
It's not at all true to say that the 106 facelift and Saxo were the same car. There were in fact fairly substantial differences, and remarkably few common components. Jean-Marie Folz, then PDG of PSA Group, stated in a management meeting that this was precisely the wrong approach - two cars that looked close to identical, yet were very different under the skin. (Actually, even the skins were different - there were no exterior panels in common.) There were precious few economies of scale, yet the public perception was of the most basic form of badge engineering.
As to the original version, although based on the AX platform with similar drivetrain there were again a large number of different components, including all the skin panels and the majority of internal panels.

the link to the 106 Owners Club is a duplicate of the link above it. It should point to http://www.106owners.co.uk. -86.151.236.40 22:15, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] S16
I noticed the S16 version isn't mentioned anywhere. I think it's somewhat "stronger" than the GTi, it's a sport version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.74.3.182 (talk) 23:08, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
