1987 Peugeot 205 XS review from UK and Ireland
"The fastest car you can get at 18"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver's side seat cover has worn away from getting in and out, I can't leave the car alone.
The odometer has stopped working.
General comments?
This is the best car I've ever driven and I've driven over 50 different cars.
It's quicker than any of the cars I've raced, 0-60 in 8.4 seconds.
It handles like a dream and if it was lowered I could push it further, fantastic.
