Peugeot 205 Hatchback 1.9 GTi Cat 3d (1993/K) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Brought mine from an independent specialist who only stocks 205 GTi's, so i had to pay alittle more than the norm, but you get the car in A1 condition.
Costs
Parts and servicing cheap, but you may well need a few parts throughout your ownership.

On the road
Driving
Excellent, corners better than any other hot hatch.
Performance
I would give it 5, but that is for performance cars. May not be as fast in a straight line as some modern hot hatches, but if you race them round a country road you will not see them for dust. CAT removed.

Living with it
Reliability
Engine very relaible. Rest of the car could become a victim of wear and tear due to age but parts are cheap.
Image
Becoming a classic. Only boy racers in knackered ones bring it down from 5/5.
Comfort
Average, but you do not buy a car like this for comfort.
