1992 Peugeot 205 GTi review from UK and Ireland

"WOW!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

In the time I owned it the only thing that spoiled an unblemished record was the bush that collapsed in the off side rear suspension arm, but I think this was the cars way of protesting at being put up for sale! Oh and I had to put a handbrake cable on it.

General comments?

What a car, the example I owned was exceptional. It had a massive service history, a lot of it from Skip Brown Peugeot specialists. It also had receipts for over £5000 for engine, suspension and brake modifications. No daft body kits or stickers, the only external mod was a genuine Peugeot boot spoiler and a set of 16 inch alloys. Quite simply this is one of the quickest point to point cars I have ever driven. A work colleague purchased £13000 worth of Renault Clio 172 cup and was gutted when my £1500 Pug chewed him up and spat him out. I know somebody previously had thrown a lot of cash at this car, but I didn't, look and buy carefully and you won't go far wrong. £1500 bought me an immaculate, devastatingly quick and very reliable car. Only the growing mileage made me sell it and I sold it for more money than I paid for it.
