yeah of course it willl, My FRENCH car is still running fine after about 8 months of ownership but obviously because its french it will fall apart. How stereotypical.


That was speaking from experience!!!! I love 106's but there is no doubt about it they are put together very poorly.


Must of been yours then, as mine hasnt got any rattles, noises or anything like that. The build quality is of the same quality as my last corsa if not a little better.

The price is ok but id try to get it cheeper because these can go for very little money these days,

They have problems with the alternator's so check this, also if you do go and see it make sure you get it nice and hot because they do have overheating problems.

The 1.4 rts go really well, certainly quicker than my friends 1.4 sr nova was back in the day and dont handle to badley.

O im looking after one for a friend and its got a problem with the steering rack, dont know this as a common problem but worth checking

If you fancy a really quick one theres one on the bay but its a fair bit more!

Pretty good cars, my brother used to have one. WIth the RT you get all the leccy goodies too.
Watch out for rust in the arches and also the classic syndrome of the remote central locking not working due to a leak in the sunroof.
