1990 Peugeot 205 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Best hot hatch..... ever!!!!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter motor.
Erratic idling, would cut out whilst braking when cold. This turned out to be a weak mixture and incorrectly set throttle position sensor.
General comments?
Fantastic little motor, bimbles around town then..... Oh YES! Get onto the open road - vroooom.
Superb handling and adequate performance from the engine and brakes.
