1985 Peugeot 205 review from UK and Ireland
"Learn to drive in one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The mileometer & speedometer (see above!)
Doors & windows very temperamental.
Slight rust around the windows.
General comments?
I love this car. The National Car Test will take it off the road officially tomorrow (30/9/00).
You never have another first car. And never one that cost you nothing 3 years ago and (apart from petrol) only IRP 3.50 in repairs, yes, that's less than the cost of a pack of cigarettes.
Goodbye 'Dino'.
