They're fast because they're light, cheap and rattley. Just one of those things.

depends what you want, if you do a lot of motorway miles i wouldn't get a 106, if it's just a daily driver for nipping about in i'd get the 106.

If you want acceleration get a tuned subaru, 0-60 in under 6 secs!

the vrs has got more torque than a MO FO! 236 lbs/ft or there abouts i believe - go for the orgasmic overtaking sensation after that tinny saxo beats you off the line!

I am yet to see a 106 that is "rattles" like you say.
Mine has not rattles and knocks and its my daily driver and has never let me down.
