"Buy a good one and it's the perfect car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Both front drive shafts replaced.

Both front anti-roll bar drop links replaced.

Distributor cap, leads & spark plugs replaced (Car bought as a non runner-this was the problem)

Car also has typical 205 GTI running faults - high idle revs and occasional misfire in 3/4th gear when engine under load.

General comments?

205 GTI's come with reliability faults, and it's always the injection electrics, but this is irrelevant to owners as once you drive one you realise what a fantastic car it is, we also have a brand new Corsa SXI in the family and even though it's technology is 10 years ahead of the 205's, it's always, always the Peugeot keys I take.

The downside of the near perfect engine/chassis blend is a bumpy ride and a revvy engine drone on long journeys.

If you had a GTi, then why was it a 1.6 and not a 1.9. By the way, has anyone driven the T16 or Rallye?
