1985 Peugeot 305 GTX review from Finland
"You get lot for your money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dead battery.
Rear right trailing arm broke.
Electric window on the left doesn't work.
Front door pillars started to rust badly.
Rust on the rear passenger floor.
General comments?
Comfortable interior.
Fuel consumption bad, due to automatic choke perhaps?
Power steering is nice in town.
This model has a bad reputation in Finland as with all French cars, because of rust problems and the need of special tools.
Rear trailing arms seems to be a weak point, always check these for rust!
Engine pulls strong from low revs.
