Guest's review of Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi

“It has been a pleasure to own and drive a 205 GTI 1.9...”

★★★★★

written by on 19/11/2010

It has been a pleasure to own and drive a 205 GTI 1.9 1994 for nearly two years now. The car was bought in Feb 2009 and have had three previous owners and a nearly complete service history.



Apart from regular maintenance I've only had one major problem - a blown head gasket. This was fixed and at the same time I had a race cam fitted, the head ported / polished and a K&N air filter fitted. The engine is transformed - it revs much quicker, spins much more freely and pulls way stronger above 4000 rpms all the way to the red line. It is genuinely quick now.



It is a delight to drive on a daily basis; fantastic steering, decent ride, superb feel and handling, and above all the basic pleasure of feeling intimately connected to the car and feeling in control of every move it makes. I will keep it as long as it remains as reliable as it has been so far. Only annoyance is the excessive fuel consumption at about 8 km's pr. litre in city traffic which is outrageously poor. But I love the little gem - both the way it drives and the way it looks :-)
