1992 Peugeot 205 Trio Plus review from UK and Ireland
"A great first car and reliable run about"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Recently had to replace the spark plugs because the engine wasn't running right, and had to have some repairs done to the brake system at my last full service.
Also, the exhaust systems seems to be continually rattling - I have had it looked at, but it's a recurring problem.
General comments?
This is my first car and I guess I will be able to look back on this car with fond memories. Admittedly it's not very fast, and the handling leaves a lot to be desired, but the car has been exceptionally reliable - it has started first or second time every single day I have needed it over the last year and a half.
The only downside is the cost of insurance on this car - I first got insured at the age of 19, and I was paid just under £1000 for my first year, and that was only 3rd party / fire and theft cover.. why so pricy?
