1985 Peugeot 205 GTi review from UK and Ireland

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Heater motor works intermittently.

Wheels need regular balancing.

Broken glovebox compartment.

All-new brakes, including calipers.

Radiator perished.

General comments?

Watch out for rust where the sill joins the back panel, under the seats and on the rear quarters.

Trim quality is okay, but fasteners and clips are easily broken.

Great revvy engine, seriously good handling.

Buy one, thrash it, sell it for what you paid, and get another one!
