1989 Peugeot 205 XLD review from France
General comments?
220,000 km on it, never had any engine problems with it, always starts right away. Gets 44 mpg. The engine will run forever.
Acceleration is flimsy (60hp), but I appreciate the diesel's torque for I live in a mountainous area: kicks butt uphill. Tow boats every now and then.
