1988 Peugeot 205 GT review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable, cheap and rapid!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Erm, not much really for a 12 year old car. Driveshafts are knocking and will need replacing soon (damn you Peugeot for using 1.1 Samba driveshafts!) Clutch probably in 6 months or so. Just balanced and cleaned carbs.
General comments?
A great little car, very fast for the size of the engine (Mr.Rep in his 2.0 16V Vectra will testify!) Fuel economy good too, considering it gets driven hard (35mpg). Doesn't handle as well as the 3 door, but you can't have everything! Reliable too, but there doesn't seem to be that many about. I think I'll keep mine until I blow it up!
