Peugeot 205 Hatchback 1.8 GRD 5d (1989/G) Owner Review

Economy
Costs
Parts are expensive, even through non-Peugeot garages, but only the usual things have needed replacing - tyres, shocks, clutch etc - and this is on a car which has done 195k miles - 110k with me!

Driving
This car is amazing fun to drive. It loves being flung around corners, and if you fit slightly wider tyres than standard it'll just keep gripping the road.
Performance
This is a nippy little car. I'd love to drive the turbo diesel! Can easily out-accelerate 1.6 petrol Escorts and the like!

Living with it
Reliability
Never broken down, not in 5 years and 110k miles. I think that's reliable.
Image
Come on - its a 205. Everyone used to want one!
Comfort
No toys, but the heater works, the radio works and the seats are great.

Security and Service
Security
Well, the radio worked til it was nicked. Fit an alarm.
Service
Never deal with main dealers - no matter what make your car is.
