1990 Peugeot 205 GTi review from North America
"The car is extremely fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter motor died at 50,000 km.
General comments?
Amazing cornering.
For such a small and light car, the power generated is totally sufficient. you can keep squeezing the gas, and it just keeps giving.
Lots of room in the front, however in the rear... not so much.
Good build quality.
This car is simply amazing. it is light, yet very powerful. This combined with awesome handeling makes it a joy to drive.
