1988 Peugeot 205 XS review from UK and Ireland
"Absolute flying machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing had gone wrong with this car in the time I drove it, and I really gave it a beating.
Mind you, the brakes seemed like they were sticking a little, not sure though.
General comments?
I bought this car as a run around whilst my xsi 306 was off the road, I paid 400 for it with GTI wheels and mouldings, it looked gorgeous in red. what a rocket!! wiped the floor with 1600 GTI's and used to give the 1900s a run. it had a power boost valve, K&N filters and I think a high lift cam also, when the 306 was back on the road, it was no where near as fast, and that's a 2.0 16v!! and the noise from it, sounded like a jet plane. couldnt not recommend this car more highly, for the insurance, you will not find a better/faster car.
