1991 Peugeot 205 XE review from UK and Ireland
"A nippy, cheap to run and maintain dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing much to speak of. New brake pads at 37,000. A few handbrake adjustments, nothing major. Still in perfect condition, no rust or wear/tear. Needed new rubber axle gator at 36,000 - about £3.50!
No back speakers though - need some sound!
General comments?
An excellent car all round, if somewhat lacking in power. I'd definitely recommend this car to a friend.
