1990 Peugeot 205 review from UK and Ireland
"Indomitable little begger!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brake locked on - got a bit warm.
Drivers window opening if speed bump encountered, drafty in winter.
Odometer stopped at 160K.
General comments?
Fantastic little car, bought on a budget and used when I was at Uni. I'm 6-3, and 18 stone, and I fitted in it fine. More leg room than my current Astra. It was slow to get going, but once moving it could hold its own on the motorway. I gave it to my parents 5 years ago and it's still going strong - last MOT cost 40 quid. Bloomin' brilliant for a 15 year old car!
