335i, somewhere between nippy and fast as saloons go.... It's certainly no slouch, in the same breath it's no C63 either!

At 19 a 106 GTI isn't exactly slow, and on a bendy country road compared to a big heavy barge may even be considered fast, especially for a 1.6 N/A.
For £940 and after a few tweaks 135bhp in such a small car makes it nippy and considering that, it is fast within legal speed limits, 80-90mph+ it is fairly gutless.

My old EP3 Type-R didn't seem as quick because of its size and was expected to be a quick car so it didn't shock.
A 15 year old Peugeot 106 will shock a lot more powerful and newer cars on accelration so yeah it's fast enough smile
