Honestly, don't get a 106. They really are horrible, they're not nice to drive, you don't feel at all safe in them (I assume you want to protect your sister!) and they're not even particularly good on fuel.
VW service parts don't really cost more on the smaller cars/engines tbh, the only difference is if something major breaks, like a turbo or a DMF....which won't be on a little petrol anyway.
Oh and 106s cost tonnes to insure as they're all driven by chavs who crash them.........yes the slow old NAD is only group 3.....yet it still cost me over £600 to insure!! My 180bhp group 27 golf 'only' cost an extra £200 lol.
