Celebrate the 4th Of July With A Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkey Hot Hatch

Here's to all my American friends and readers; your glorious country is 236 years old, still the land of opportunity, where immigrants from all over the world flock to make their dreams come true. But you must wait an absurdly long time to import clapped-out world-market hot hatches, like this Peugeot 106 GTI. Soviet Canuckistan isn't so bad now, is it?

The 106 GTI doesn't have the name recognition of say, a 205 GTI, but it's regarded as one of the best handling cars of all-time by many European mags. 120 horsepower isn't too impressive, until you consider that it weighs 2090 lbs, less than a first-generation 1.6L Miata. The one seen above is a Japanese import, which means it was likely well cared for due to the rigorous vehicle inspection process. Only 7500 miles are on the clock, but I'm not brave enough to risk a French hot hatch orphan, as awesome as it is.
