nova as it wont fail on you :)
Either the pug or they would be level tbh as 106 GTi's aint shy!
top speed or acceleration?
if i didn't like nova's the only other small car i would have is a 106.
think they look awsome in yellow.

I'd go for the 106 personally. 1.6 16v in something that weighs as much a lettuce leaf...nuff said IMO.
GTI will be quicker imo and handle better!!
Very very under-rated cars
sundance yellow is an awesome colour :)
shame the pedals are close :(
China blue and Diablo red also look cool :cool:

They might be poo and french but theyre light and fast and handle really well from what ive heard, ask mike he will be able to tell you about 106 GTi's

Gti will go better as it has a great engine/gearbox combo, but if you get a good 8v (early SRi130 rather than the 117bhp later ones) the nova might stick it to the pug.
id have to audition both.

im in agreement with you but they are poo, Gti will 8/10 beat it great engine, they look good but they could have been so much better

i would of thought a 8 valve nova would be quicker more low down torque for starters.
The GTi will be quicker.
I fail to see how they are sh1t? Does Nova's come with 16v motors as standard? Leather? Optional air con? Power steering? Airbags? Torsion bar rear suspension??
Nah i didnt think so....

how do you come to that conclusion? they are both simular power from standard depending if its a c20seh which has more power than a 106.

Power is nothing chap, nothing at all.
Ive driven prolly well over a hundred standard GTi's/Rallye's & XSi's, race'd & rallied super modified ones in the BTRDA in years gone by, the GTi would win, it wouldnt pish it, but it would win.
None the less, your comparing a modified car to a standard car, so any result is instantly viod.

Funking hell yeah!! :thumb: My thoughts exactly.
I could always go borrow some of my mates GTi cup cars & go prove it a santa pod? Failing that I'd go buy one of my old ones back from where ever they are now.....
Either one of these would've pished an SEH, NE or XE on tarmac. The Blaze yellow one more so (186bhp 1.6 16v N/A - sadly the last an only pics of it in its new owners workshop :( )

Id say the 106 too, a lad I know who has a 106 GTI (140bhp) raced this other lad I know with a XE'd nova (170bhp) and the GTI won, I was shocked top say the least, but then again depends on the driver I suppose.
(was on a Private road by BTW!!!)
i had a xsara vts 167 bhp model stripped just had the front seat on dash in and my mates 106 gti fully kitted out walked the floor with me
my xsara would keep with my bros redtop corsa
All you need on a GTi is IMO a Group N ECU, Group N induction kit, Pug Sport exhaust system, any old performance manifold an you'll have a reet little scorcher. If your picky Pug Sport bottom arms an some Billies. Job done.

i love ripping into the french, especially the cars.
i was kind of eating my words when my mate let me drive his gti.
no idea what he had done but funny performance clutch as it was rediculously heavy.
as im an amature and have a heavy foot (hehe) i put the foot down and i was very suprised and impressed. there very responsive and what seemed like no lag through the revs.
but would be close i would imagine. possibly the gti winning it a little
My ex use to have the 106 q/s.
That was a great laugh to chuck around the bends and would kick **** on a standard gsi/gte.
As for the gti a friend had one and as mike said it would out handle a 2ltr 8v nova no probs.
The only prob i had was it was to french and the peddles were to close apart from that it was a giggle on the back roads.

12-09-09, 08:09 AM
i had a quiksilver between novas n it was a laugh would beat my mates corsa sports n anything else that was a 1.4 ish, gti's are quick and would out accelerate the 2ltr nova off the line just because they have better traction, although i did see one once go through a set of front tyres doing a burnout in a carpark.

I'd say the GTi would be quicker too. awesome cars imo!
It seems we have a few 106 gti fans on here then :p:
I think a few people just wont accept that they are good cars tbh, it also seems that for some reason there book figure bhp is lower than they actually make! Most also seem to make 125+, from a standard engine.
If i could find a gti for a similar price to a old saxo vts, id have one tomorrow
I love em too, never plumped to buying one though.
TBH a friend had one when I had my 16v Nova, and it was a lot closer on my tail then i'd have liked lol.
The Pug all day long. Some people are under the illusion that a Nova is a good car. Wierdos.
there has only been one decent pug (1.9 GTi 205) and they were still ****
Ahem, the GTI-6 IS the best they have made.

Nah i didnt think so....
thats an unfair comparicon, 16v was barely in any car when the nova was in its prime, leather?? WTF A/C again barely any cars had this in the novas time, PAS is the same even my dads old company GLS sierra didnt have this, Airbags, agian are more modern technology, and just because its got one doesnt mean its safe, they are very poor in a crash still (like a nova) most small french cars have that rear set up! basically the comparison is biast to your opinion , the thread is about which was quicker to be fair
in all fairnes the the corsa B was around at the same time as the GTi and had the same equipment levels ABS,PAS airbags etc
they are quick and handle well look good, BUT they are naf poor qulity inside, terrible brakes, axels last ten minutes before they need replacing, haha sorry so they are exactly the same as a nova, so why are we even having this discussion
to conclude:
Gti quicker
both cars pants lol lol
A corsa B GSi is the equivalent to a 106 gti, and is pretty ****e comparing the two.
GSi=Crap vaux power steering/abs, rust, under powered engines(as std), cloth interior, no air con.......
GTi is exactly the opposite of the above..........
And i like corsa gsi's too.......

remember GTi's were slighty newer in comparison to the Corsa GSi
the C16XE was about 113BHp very similar to the GTi 106
PAS and ABS works or it doesnt, you could Fit A/C if you wanted easy enough, tigra nuff said
again as it was still older than the GTi so A/C was still barely in most cars like today
so what about leather, 1/2 leather anyway
im standing my ground they are a poor qulity car with a good engine that is all (so is a Nova)
airbag is pointless ass they are not a safe car

I think the earliest GTi came out on a P plate, so a good 3 years newer than the GSi.
The Corsa Sport is probably the best comparasion, lol, but still not in the same league.

Fair points, but "pas and abs works" isnt really a true statement.
Everyone knows how shocking vaux power steering and abs was in the 90's!!! :thumb:

no im not jesting Dar, ok maybe about the corolla, but the 306 GTi-6 is no where near as iconic a s a 205 GTi and looks just like a D-turbo
ther type R was a cracking car!
ok adam
its not that i dislike the 106 GTi but i suppose if we were all the same life would be dull, but my point is
i love my nova, enjoy being part of the PNG but they are still crap they were the baby cheap entry level car, poor trim, rusted if not loved, no equipment due to it being in the 80's mainly poor driving position, very easy to steel but i love em
you like the 106 more than me, yes it'll will be fun but they are not a good car, regardless that they got some modern equipment, it is a 1996/7 vehicle
but they are poor quality trim, bad brakes, poor axels
in fairness they are peugeots entry level car just like the Nova was
PAS, you should try my dad new laguna, talk about leak and the A/C kin hell!!

i like renaults, its not crap i nearly had one but already had evo so didnt bother, but it was original 225sport on a 55
the worse thing imo is the dash its same throughout the range
Dash is OK IMHO
However, I;m too busy watching the road to notice the dash usually!!
106 gti are very good cars IMO. im not interested in build quality, luxury etc, if i wanted that id buy a 4 year old mondeo for the same money. this thread is aimed the fun factor!
And the GTI would kick an 8V's backside...
106GTi is the car I'd have to replace the Nova. Mind you, it only pips the Glanza V on price; followed by an S13.
Its also one of the only few Euro hatches I like (along with the aforementioned GTi-6)
BUT they are naf poor qulity inside, terrible brakes, axels last ten minutes before they need replacing, haha sorry so they are exactly the same as a nova, so why are we even having this discussion
You must have either drove a crock of sh1t one, owned a crock of sh1t one OR just generally know fcuk all about them.
Ive never had any issues with standard brakes on them, nor the rear axles on a road car? My conlcusion is you talk sh1t, youve never owned a decent one, if one at all, an your to high on your soap box to admit they are the better car.
BTW, PAS, leather an Aircon have been out years, my dads old Toyota Space Cruiser on a A reg had all the aforementioned :thumb:and full leather option was avaliable on a GTi if you had the cash :thumb:
im going foe the GTi aswell
ive just picked up a quicksilver and have to say the interior is miles better than any nova lol
the 1.4 does seem very underpowered tho but that could be due to the fact its been sitting a while - a GTi engine and box is about the same price as a smokey old XE tho lol ;)
Drapes, i used to pay £100 for a GTi engine & box when i needed them, or about £600 for a complete Cat C/D car lol IMHO there as cheap as a Nova to fix
Give us a shout when you need an engine chap, i should be able to sort you out a treat :thumb:
Unusually i'd go for the gti here too. Lad at work had one, was an awesome bit of kit! Only prob he had with his was the coil pack iirc, and he gave it death, everywhere!

Amen bro :thumb: on the wavelenght an all that ;)
Damn, im lookiing for a 106 gti now lol lol lol
i dont see thing's through blinkered eye's, like most young nova(or on corsasport, corsa) owners thinking they are the best car's out there...
i'd defo own one if i didn't have so many bit's for my corsa, not worth selling up now tbh
still a ****ty french car though
LOL@ Ad haha, ive been looking at buying one for months, just one thing at a time at the mo.
Ste, fully agree Re: Best cars comment :) just not with the end bit :P
I was quite dissapointed when i drove a 106 GTI (standard engine), thought it would be much quicker than it was but it handled amazingly. Saying that i've never driven a 2.0 8v Nova. Overall i would say the 106 would take the Nova on the corners without many problems (assuming the driver was any use).
i dont see thing's through blinkered eye's, like most young nova(or on corsasport, corsa) owners thinking they are the best car's out there...
Pfft, Novas are rubbish lol
The deciding factors as to why I purchased a Nova over a 106 were:
1. Cost. The 106 GTi was more expensive (at the time) than a Nova.
2. Size. The GTi was too small, I wanted a saloon car.
3. Knowledge. I know more about Novas than I do 106s.
4. Reliability. At the end of the day, its French lol
5. Modifiability. I wanted something that I could play with, relatively easily (kinda goes hand in hand with #3).
Handling was not an issue as I didn't build the car to go round corners, just be fast in a straight line. If cost, size, knowledge, reliability and modifiability weren't so prominent, I'd have one. Assuming I couldn't find a Glanza V that is lol
4. Reliability. At the end of the day, its French lol
Boooooooooooring!
French cars are extremely reliable nowadays.
And have been for the past god knows how many years.
It's the dealers and after care that sucks!!!
Nowadays, yes, but pretty much everyone I know who's had French cars of that era (late 90s) had a raft of problems.
Fcuk it im gonna buy one soon an prove a point then me thinks.
Ive defiently gotta get some form of performance car else im gonna end up getting another bastid Nova/Corsa!
interesting read this thread. I think I can help as i own a 106 GTi as a daily driver. The 106 GTi would be quicker than the 2.0 8valve nova. 106 GTi's are really understated. The problem is with some people thinking they have realibility issuies is that must have drove/owned/mate had a knacker thats been hammered every day of its life 'cause its a GTi. I don't care what it is. Anything will break if you drive it like a t**t all the time.
I've had my 106 over a year now. I bought it as a trade in at work to repalce my rusty **** corsa sport. Its had one old guy owner from new and it had only done 34k. now its done 50k. I've serviced it as per the schedule and NOT had ANY problems at all!!! It handles and drives great out of the box. The pedal box i think is perfect. very easy to heal and toe. so much so, i've heated and modified my nova throttle pedal so it sits close and low like the 106.
I've worked at many different dealers and owners an absolute s**t load of different cars. some i liked, some i did'nt. but the GTi is a deffinate winner.
I recently purchased a Skoda Fabia vRS. I never saw me owning a skoda but what a car!! its awsome.
Don't get me wrong I love nova's. Thats why i own one and spend loads of money on it. Thats also why it my nova number 14!
Heres a quick pic of my 106 GTi when i bought it

Its nearly standard with BMC CDA carbon air box, Sparco lower strut brace, clear side repeaters and thats it!
Mike if you buy one you won't be disapointed. If its gonna be a track car look at a 106 Rallye in bianca white with a 16valve motor in. think that would be cool

Stevei, i know mate ive owned a few already lol look further back thru this thread an you'll see one of my old rally cars lol
Also had the pant ****ting experience of driving a 204 bhp (ATF) XSi!
I used to want a GTI but i would only have a s1 Rallye or an XSI now, there is something about the early 106's that i really like. That and my old 106 Rallye was quite a nippy thing.
204bhp:eek: sweet. Having taking my Nova to work today to fit a quaife quick rack (:)) there is no doubt that my Nova would spank the hell out of my 106 but the nova has extensive mods. so imagine extensive mods to the 106. cricky:cool: that would be a weapon!
ste
cricky:cool: that would be a weapon!
186bhp we saw in the yellow one in the pics lol simply couldnt afford to go any further or keep the car anymore though.
thats some good power. throttle bodies I'm guessing. this is the thing with 106's and Nova's. their proven in many different kinds motorsport so there is many parts and processes that are easy to find and follow and make a quick car.

i know enough about em to know they aren't a good car, they prob are better than the nova but i think this is only due to them coming along later in life
my conclusion is i dont talk sh1t at all i dont ever want to own one, but i know cars and worked in salvage for over 7 years so i know what parts/engines were good and what were bad
japanese cars have always been infront, is this the same vehicle as in this thread which would be aimed at the same market (super- mini)
im not on a soap box at all an i dont see your point in getting arsey and personal
im entitled to my view as your are yours, i didnt insult you or your views
So how can you say there that bad if youve never owned one? Oh becuase you worked in salvage where all the broked cars go, silly me lol lol salvage cars are salvage for a reason, because there fcuked.
Its not as if minters go to salvage yards everyday now is it.
So what about the phase 1 106's that were out when Mk2's Nova were practically new? Im sure sales wise they matched the Nova did they not?
Cheap car for masses they both were, but GTi v's GSi sales & performance wise, its a no brainer lol

my mates got a s1 106 rallye (standard engine) and that would beat a 2.0 8v nova all day long. His quickest 1/4 mile time was 16.6 secs, which is probably quicker than most standard 2.0 8v novas.

/\ Lol thats brilliant
These threads come up time and time again
Ive said it before and i will say again.These along with Saxo Vts are really capable cars which are Far Far better in standard trim than a Nova Gsi.They are very quick and nimble through the bends and anyone who says Novas are better have clearly never driven one.

ive owned an ax gt vts same engine as the 106 and they go like **** off a shovel it was standard, raced a civic type R, astra gsi, clio sport, mg zr 160 and a 205 gti on twin 45 webbers and pulled away from them all also had a race with my mates corsa redtop and it cept with that..the 106 is a bit heavier than an ax i know But they are a realy good pulling engine, the only bad thing was it breaking every outher week, gearbox engine mount driveshaft ect ect i can say 100% a 106 gti would rape a 2.0 8v
106 gti would rape a 2.0 8v
I said this about 9 pages back lol
Flaming is now imminent lol

Whats those wheels on the back? They look rather nice
i raced a GTI in my old xe nova it was up my **** like a good un round the twistys but i pulled away on the straights! I think that th 106 and 205 gtis are the only french cars i would own my mate has a 1.9 gti and that keeps all day with my mates corsa xe and having driven a 2.0 8v ne engine nova imo there **** plus the weight of a big 8v lump compared to a small 1.6 would banish the big block vs small block lark more power bla bla bla
Without a doubt the French is going to piss all over a Nova unless it had some very good suspension set up. Chassis's are what Peugeot do best.
i agree with the pug being better on the bends,as ive got one,but a 106/saxo 16v pissing all over a 2.0 8 valve nova is a bit much,maybe slightly quicker if its a good one but only just,raced a few in nothin in it tbh,
I should have said in the corners, straight line i think it would be fair game.

i dualed a saxo vtr down our local d road, in my 2.0 8v seh nova with a four branch, and magnex exhaust, and i only just pulled from the vtr doin the top end of 4th and 5th gear. gti would do it all day long.
Dont know much about them but do like one. How much we talking for a decent standard facelift one? £2-3k?

all the talk bout how unrealible the french cars are is rubbish any car really as long as you look after it can be realiable. the 106's easily the better car

This conversation tires me. Whats more to the point (well at least what I'm yet to understand)
Is.... why is there a chasm between the views of a VTS and a GTI. I thought they were mechanically the same....yet one gets massive abuse and the other praise ?

Only reason I don't like the VTS is because its a saxo lol I don't like the way they look, simples.

I'll not join in the debate. lol Instead I will ask why your mate is running dished low ET rims on the back only? Reminds me of the wannabe RWD water cooled VW crew. lol

VTR/VTS was mass produced. GTi wasn't (well to an extent)
Top Gear road test one in 1998/9 sometime looking for road handling and stopping power. The GTi came second to a £70,000 Porsche 911 for braking/stopping power.
