1992 Peugeot 205 Rallye review from UK and Ireland
"Ideal first performance car for the under 20's"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, apart from routine servicing, new tyres, cambelt replacement and a rear brake re-build.
General comments?
Light-weight, so fantastic performance.
Superb reliability, great brakes and up to 50 mpg!
Great on the motorway, great fun round the bends.
I'm only 18, so group 7 insurance is very helpful. It has the same engine as the XS, but attracts a lower insurance group because of the stripped-out, lack of equipment style. Has never let me down and looks fantastic in Canary yello with all the Rallye stripes.
