1990 Peugeot 205 GT review from UK and Ireland
"Quick for 1360cc's"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Within 4 and a half months, (17,000 miles):
Driveshafts x 2, then the Nearside one snapped - replaced under warranty.
Alternator.
Differential (new gearbox), now diff slips again.
Front wheel bearings.
A couple of small other things. This altogether so far is £1500.
The red paintwork is disintegrating.
General comments?
Very quick when it wants to go, keeps up with 306 1.8 16v's, BMW 318i's, 3 205 1.6 GTi's. etc, but has cost me a lot of money. Good handling, fun in wet.
