1989 Peugeot 205 XS review from Finland
"The most price worthy car I know"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust on the drivers door.
Some minor electrical problems.
Rear wheels rubbing against the trunk.
General comments?
Surprisingly responsive for an 1.4, and has very good handling.
Perfect size for an single student.
The trunk could have been bigger.
The spare-tire is placed under the car, and gets very wet when it's raining, and you need to change tire.
