1993 Peugeot 205 Gentry from UK and Ireland - Comments

Tailpipe fell off after 1 day. Dealers fault, repaired free of charge immediately.

Excellent car, very comfortable drive , handles like a dream. Unfortunately poor MPG (25).

Fantastic car. It beats everything away from the lights. Handles like a dream and the fuel ain't too bad at 35 mpg.

Poor mpg? I get 31 mpg out of mine and that's round town. Super little car - sadly *too* little.

I have that car. 1992, bought in prague, perfect condition... Poor economy, 10 liters per 100 km. May be not so fast like normal GTI, but still enough to beat audi a4 3,0 with auto. And on higway it makes 180-190. But on roads, nobody knows what kind of car it is, it is not writen GTI or stuff like that. So, people thin it is "just" 205. but when you make some on lights, than surprised.

Not so good with service, quite expensive. But I love that car. I think it is only one car in CZ.

By the way, does anybody know, how many Gentry were made?

There were 408 Gentry models made between 1992/1993 for the U.K. On the continent it was called the Griffe and as many as 3000 were made between 1992/1993.
