1986 Peugeot 205 GLD review from UK and Ireland
"A nice reliable little runner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Reverse light switch needed replacing when I bought the car.
Exhaust needed changing 2 weeks ago because of a 5 cm split in it.
A little bit of rust that had spread around the arches.
The car was broken into via the window and the stereo stolen.
General comments?
A very nice car to drive. It handles well and for a diesel it is quite nippy.
The seats are comfortable and the leg room is enough for a 6 foot 3 inch tall person.
