1990 Peugeot 205 GTi review from Australia and New Zealand
"High perfomance, fun, good value but temperamental and not entirely reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch slip got progressively worse, had to replace.
Muffler rusted through, exhaust system needed replacing.
General comments?
I love the way this car goes, when it goes. The problem is how often it goes, it plays up when wet and has required two expensive pieces of work withing the first 8 months of ownership. Hopefully these are beyond me now and I can get back to enjoying it as a toy, although I may just get the belts done to be on the safe side.
