1988 Peugeot 205 Open review from UK and Ireland
"More than just a pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have not had any problems yet. The car was previously owned by a family member, and in all its life only broke down once, which was due to a flat battery. Unlike many 205's after 134000 miles, the interior is still perfect.
General comments?
For a young driver, the series of 1.4 Peugeot 205's are about as fast as it gets.
It's also got fairly good fuel economy (on long motorway trips 40+ to the gallon).
Handling is fantastic. It lets you know exactly what's going on, so it's not a difficult car to play with, although it is incredibly rewarding.
