1986 Peugeot 205 Automatic review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not good starter, especially in the winter. The engine was noisy - sounded like a diesel.
General comments?
We loved our 1.6 automatic, it was really fun to drive, not very economical, but a great car.
Then we bought a new 206, which was big disappointment. If you have a 205, then look after it.
