On the road
Driving
Absolutely brilliant cronering, own a modified examle with wider wheels and lowered suspension, but will still beat my brother's 206 GTi through corners.
Performance
Good performance for 1.4. Very nippy on motorway and accelerates quickly.

Living with it
Reliability
Runs like a dream, but had a rebiuld 24,000 miles ago so brand new.
Image
Nice as standard. Again, I own a modified example with bodykit and it turns a lot of heads as it is not over the top.
Comfort
Brilliant seats although interior slightly dated.

Security and Service
Security
Was broken into. Fitted cat 1 alarm and immobiliser with remote central locking and had locks removed and gap filled after this, spot on now.
Service
Never taken the car to dealer as very simple to fix myself. 2nd 205 I have owned and will keep buying them fantastic cars and great fun (especially my 2.0 mi-16 track car) would recommend these to anyone.
