1989 Peugeot 205 XLD review from UK and Ireland
"A GTi that runs on diesel.. PC Plod hates it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much... CD player got nicked and £100 of CD's.
General comments?
119,000 miles and still rocking like your Dad's worst nightmare! Might not be a WRX but it is really a wolf in sheep's clothing. I've had ABOUT 115mph on the M69 (speedo only says 110 but it went past the end!) and I even left a 205GTi 1.6 staring at my exhaust!
