The car is still original. We replaced the hand brake cables. We replaced the head because a valve broken due to a inappropriate fuel octane. Too low.Know I am using 94 octane with a additive for a total of 98 octane. Be side that the car runs like a beast.
The cars handling is like a go cart. In Quebec the road are very ugly and this 205 is not made for that. Too hard, but the torque and response of the engine is superb. 0 to 200km with out no problem. The seat's are fantastic with there support and grate view. I most enjoy the car in U.S.A the roads are superb and my 205 GTI 1.9 like that. I have Peugeot's and B.M.W,Audi cannot compare Peugeot for there reliability and the fun of driving.
Hello,
This is Arnaud from France!
I'm very happy to see that there are few owners of this wonderful 205 GTI in America.
Would you have some pictures of your car?
It would be so great!
Hi I'm another 205 gti owner from France... I do think it is a fantastic car... it's been (and probably still is) a legend around here back in the 80's / 90's...
Tell us about your car : how come it got to the Americas and how did you manage to get the appropriate authorizations to drive it around?
You may want to come around at the following address :

which is a French auto forum. That topic specifically speaks of 205 GTIs in the States...
Hope you come around
Bye and good driving!
This car is very popular in France ; It's amazing to find one in North America :-)
