1988 Peugeot 205 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Marvellous fast and tight little rocket sled"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only stuff which was wrong with it when I got it. Intermittent failure to engage starter motor. Coolant hose (chafed).
General comments?
Echo all comments in other reviews about speed and handling. Fantastic, just as quick, more fun, and better cornering than a Jag XJS I had once! Good fuel economy 35-44mpg. Noisy though but who cares? Tappety top end. Lots of opportunities to upgrade even further, with chips, head and manifolds etc. A fab little car for the price of a set of rubber for the Jag!
