1985 Peugeot 505 S Wagon review from North America
"Roomy, quick, agile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gear shift fork broke.
Broken motor mount.
Wheel fell off due to stripped studs.
Rear doors and trunk locks temperamental at times.
General comments?
This has been a very reliable car. It had been totaled and reconstructed prior to my ownership, but the car still runs and drives great. It has plenty of power for what it is and what it has gone through. Lot's of room!
