1989 Peugeot 205 XR review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap, Fast, and very fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New clutch was fitted just before I brought it.
General comments?
I love this car! I have only purchased it recently, but already prefer it to my old car, that was a 2005 rover 25 1.4, and this 16 year old devil would slaughter it! I was so suprised with how nippy it is. Handles very well, and parts are cheap (standard and modification parts). The interior looks a bit like a tweed jumper your nan would knit, and the dash isn't too inspiring, but its 16years old! the paint job is immaculate, looks new, and inside theres no wear at all really, so the little things wear well if looked after! I'm only 18 and the insurance is nice and cheap, and it has more than enough power for nipping around in. I would deffinately have another one of these, and for the price it's a bargain!
