1989 Peugeot 205 Automatic review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic - though maybe a smaller engine?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all mechanically. Replaced all 4 tyres as they were still the originals.
General comments?
A very comfortable, powerful Automatic. Easy to drive. Top of range in 1989 came with power steering, central locking etc. Nice interior, off-white body with body colour sub-bumper curtains.
Very quick, but is more costly to run that cars with smaller engines - and is noticeable. Only the second owner from new, so the car is immaculate.
It's a tribute to Peugeot that this 205 is still in near-showroom condition 14 years on with not a bit of rust or corrosion or any faults at all.
