1990 Peugeot 205 GL review from Kenya
"Great car - indeed built for Africa"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car has no temperature gauge. I have blown the cylinder head gasket three times because of burst hose pipes - if there was a temp gauge to warn of heating that would have helped. The coolant level light is not enough.
General comments?
A very economical car with excellent suspension and handling. Good ergonomic interior and spacious enough hatchback even as a small family car. I now have a 504 in my stable as well - proof that Peugeot is a great car.
