1991 Peugeot 205 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"The original and the best pocket rocket!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Baffles blown in the exhaust rear silencer.
General comments?
I have owned GTi's in the past, and driven many of the new equivalents, but nothing has ever surpassed the performance of the 205. VW may have got there first with the Golf, but Peugeot did it right with the 205.
If you can drive this car and not get a huge cheesy grin on your face, then you are doing something wrong.
Don't be tempted to add after market 'performance' parts. These only detract from the overall package. I was lucky enough to get a low mileage, one owner from new, Miami blue 1.9, which is the holy grail of Peugeots these days.
Buy one, you'll never regret it!!
