1988 Peugeot 205 GTI review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch.
The following were replaced as a preventative measure: HT leads, sparks, brake discs.
General comments?
This is possibly the best supermini you could ever own. Not only is it blisteringly fast (especially with K+N Filter, boost valve, and performance exhaust), but this little car thinks it's on rails. If you try hard enough, you can get it to oversteer (with Spax suspension, anyway), which is great fun on roundabouts. It's very good for upsetting ponces in their fleet Vectra 2.5 V6 SRi's, because they don't like to be beaten off the lights by a 10 year old Pug. Still looks immaculate but for some small car park blemishes. It's done 110,000 miles and still going strong.
