1987 Peugeot 205 XS review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and cheerful pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Burst brake pipe.
Leaking boot seal.
Exhaust joints always go.
Heater motor gone.
General comments?
For a motor with only 1360cc's, it goes! Top speed performance is poor but it gets there damned quick.
Very few problems had with this car and I will be keeping it a lot longer. One annoying thing is the spare wheel tray keeps dropping down, no matter how much you tighten it.
