Peugeot 205 Hatchback 1.4 Open 3d (1989/F) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Never had to repair it. Good spec for small cars of this age - electric windows, sunroof, central locking etc.
Costs
Big fuel tank but not very good on petrol.

On the road
Driving
Very nice little car to drive, however there is a lot of body roll when driving hard.
Performance
Very nippy for what it is, suprises a lot of other drivers from the traffic lights.

Living with it
Reliability
Never cost me a penny!
Image
Very nice little cars, by far the most fresh looking out of all the 80s to mid 90s hatchbacks, far nicer to look at than any Fiesta or Corsa.
Comfort
Nice comfy seats, driving position is excellent and it also has a very smooth ride.

Security and Service
Security
Never had any problems but I have had a good alarm fitted just in case!
Service
Never needed to use Peugeot but I have heard very good reports from other 205 owners.
