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.
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)
I just got my brothers 92 205 Rallye, theyre a great little car to drive, surprisingly fast. I'v got a laser straight through exhaust and gti alloys, those are the only modifications. they demand some respect on corners tho, as I found out (the hard way) you definately need good tyres all round, I have pirelli p5000 drago's 195/50's on the front, but perished 195/50's on the back; as a result I lost traction on a roundabout in the wet and span the car into a concrete reserve. I managed to do £800 worth of damage, but no bodily damage!!! ONLY a bent steering rack, anti-roll frame, subframe, just the Usual really! Definately worth having a Rallye at sum point, I'm not getting rid of mine, I'm going 2 repair it. theyer just such a light car 750kg. I recomend this site http://www.205rallye.co.uk/mods/tuning/methods.htm if you want to know various ways of tuning and the effect on hoursepower.
