1992 Peugeot 205 rallye review from UK and Ireland
"A car to scare the big boys"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've not had many problems with the car except the usual drive shafts and suspension bushes! Both of these have recently been replaced. Also gearboxes tend to wear quite badly. This car is fitted with a cat 2 alarm/immobiliser, 15'' stealths, -60mm, K&N, peco back box and GTI body kit.
General comments?
This has to be the best handling car I have driven. This includes my mini which had numerous suspension modifications. In the wet it is phenomenal. It is quick considering it's only a 1360cc and easily out-paces mundane saxo VTR's and even wasted a civic VTI. My only niggles with the car have been a worn syncromesh and noisy interior fixtures (ie. squeaks and rattles.) by the way now for sale £1000ono 07969604874 Taxed and MOT'd (in white)
