Peugeot 205

This opinion will be based upon the Peugeot 205 "Junior", 1.0 litre engine, manual drive. Sitting at my desk, I peer out onto the driveway and look at the car sitting there, mine is white with black and red stripe finish which is typical design on Junior models. It is decorated inside with cuddly toys (mainly pooh bear) but that is all my doing. Soo, to the point. The facts..... My car typically burns 40 miles per gallon, on average it would cost £40.00 to fill the tank with un-leaded fuel or 4star if you prefer. The car is easy to maintain, I still swear that the older cars are the best, cars ... more

Ive reviewed my second car so I thought it would only fair that I should review my first. Yes, I Tonie, owned a Peugeot 205 GL, I thank you.... When I first passed my test I was eager to get a car (who isn't?) so after a few days of moping about on Autotrader and Loot I decided that I wanted a Peugeot. Imparticular I wanted a 206, but unfortunatly my budget didn't go as far as 7 grand, so my next option was a 205. So, after more time on the net I found a F reg 205 GL for 350 pounds. Now I realise that the car wasn't worth that but I was young and naive, so sue me. So I became the extremely ... more

I had a 205 for about 1 and a half years and it was my first car. I had a red 205 XL (1991 H Reg) with an 1124 CC (1.1) engine. I have decided to write this opinion based on my expereince with this car and have broken it down under the following headings to make it easier to read. Style ~~~~~ The style is still current enough for you to get away with it but it is starting to get slightly dated. There are also a lot of differnt version of the 205 (some being the junior, style, xl, xs) all pretty much the same outside with different styling inside. The inside is vaery basic, with there being a ... more

One of the best ‘hot hatches’ ever After I passed my driving test at 18 I longed for a ‘boy racer’ car, I dreamed of having car to be proud of, to drive round aimlessly at night! Then at 21 after large amounts of haggling with various insurance companies I purchased my first ‘boy racer’ or ‘Kev’ car! My very own Peugeot 205 1.9 Gti - 0-60 in sub 7 seconds standard! For those of you who speak ‘boy racer’ It was Slammed 40ml all round Yoko tyres Recon pepper pots K & N full induction kit D- Locked Smooth booted Rear quarter panels smoothed and flushed Momo Steering wheel Smoked rear clusters ... more

I have had my 205 XS for 5 years now and believe it has been good value for my first car. I have driven all over England with it and it has proved reliable and performs fairly well for its capacity. When I got the car I stuck a performance air filter on, some alloy wheels and a janspeed 3" exhaust to give it some extra punch and improve its image. I have had 110mph out of the car I estimate it might reach 115mph which is good for a 1400cc car. When I travel on motorways in the car or at about 70mph I notice an increase in road noise. After time the noise becomes annoying and this is one ... more
