1991 Peugeot 205 Si review from Australia and New Zealand
"Its tiny, comfortable, loves the freeway and other 205 owners wave to you!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far in 5 months.
Creaky steering and suspension.
General comments?
I was sceptical about buying a secondhand 205, imagining they'd be pretty unreliable. However, I was hooked on the character of this rugged little machine and so far this one has been a very happy little pug.
The last Peugeot I had was a 404 in 1990 and even though the 205 has a plasticy interior and knobs, it still somehow has the same Peugeot charm.
No rust, no leaks, starts instantly every morning.
Its quirky, but the 'funness' grows on you and you end up getting attached to it.
