General comments?
I would recommend a 205 TD to anyone.
The Engine is great. Very fast and pulls well. I know it's sad, but I often pull a 14ft caravan with it and it copes amazingly. Very economical engine as well with 50+ MPG. When I'm not pulling caravans I can do 0-60 in under 10 seconds easily.
The inside is attractive and well layed out. The seats are much more comfortable than my old VW Golk Mk III.
The design still looks fresh - although I would have preferred the 3dr to the 5dr.
No rust on the outside!! Which is quite surprising for a 13 year old car. Very solid underneath as well. Overall the build quality is excellent and again much better than my 5 year old VW which everyone says should be well built.
I love my 205 TD!!!
