1989 Peugeot 205 XE review from UK and Ireland
"Everyone should get one. Best there is and a bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far. You can almost feel something should fail any second now, but it just keeps going on without any problem. I don't think 205s know what rust is either.
General comments?
Thanks to this car I think I've become Peugeot fan forever. Perhaps I wouldn't take it for a ride across the country, but as a commuting transportation this hatchback is just amazing. You can find them in Loot for £350-500 and trust me, they are the biggest bargain there is.
