1989 Peugeot 205 XS review from UK and Ireland

Only the passenger side drive-shaft.

Sunroof seal leaked.

Drivers door seal leaked.

Passenger door had a dodgy lock. (Sometimes would not unlock)

Great car! It was my first car for when I passed my test and I loved it to bits.

It is very light and very quick.

My best friend has a Saxo VTR and my Pug wasn't far behind.

It has amazing handling.

Easy to wheelspin too, but gets the power down quite quickly.

The acceleration was good, liked being revved!

Easy to install a sound system too. But it does rattle quite a bit.

I only tried top speed once and that wasn't ideal.

It was wet, I had my full sound system installed (sub etc.) with 4 adults in the car and it was full of shopping!

I got 108mph and it wasn't struggling, so I was very pleased with that!

It was quite a thirsty beast, but I did flog it quite a bit.

The interior is basically a cloth version of the GTI one.

Very comfy, very supportive (better than my mates VTR) and the driving position is the best I've had, it was gorgeous to drive!

The back-end is very light so take it easy on the fast swooping corners, especially in the wet as I found out one night!

Overall I would recommend this car to anyone, I'm even thinking of selling my Suzuki Swift GTI to buy another!
