Peugeot 205 Hatchback 1983
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    This is my 2nd form of transport as I'm a biker at heart. Wanted something cheap to run; was in fact given this in the deal with my 'R' reg Honda motorcycle!

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Cost only the price servicing to date.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Drives supremely well for a 12 year old car with 104,000 miles on the clock. Better than most I've ever owned.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    For a 1.1 litre engine, it's belting.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    Just seen me through some really severe weather this winter and started every time!

    Looks a bit tatty around the edges now, but no obvious rust patches. She's a star.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    OK. She runs so well I don't take much notice. Heater very adequate if noisy.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    No standard security features. I have a steering wheel 'Stoplock'. I don't think it's of much interest to serious thieves anyway.
