1990 Peugeot 205 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Since the 206GTi came out, these have halved in price - buy one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor things such as interior door switches failing and the manifold was blowing.
Heater was not blowing hot air, changed the thermostat but this did not fix it.
Drivers seat is starting to wear.
General comments?
Seriously quick car for a 1600. This car flies at the bottom end and handles like it's on rails! Great fun to drive.
Only downsides are that it tends to rattle, and it probably isn't the smoothest car to drive on a long motorway journey.
These are minor problems though. If you buy one of these cars purely to throw around town, you can't do much better.
