1990 Peugeot 205 XS 1.4
Summary:
A fast and cheap handling hatch
Faults:
So far nothing, but both the drive shafts will need done in the next couple of weeks.
General Comments:
Bought the car for peanuts a few months ago.
Interior is in perfect condition.
Exterior has a couple of little bumps on the passenger door.
I heard the XS was quick, but I was still surprised when I drove it, bearing in mind a used to drive a Renault 19 16v and a mk1 golf!
I've put on a new set of 195x45x15 rims on it which has helped the handling a lot.
Next will be lowering it and perhaps a full stainless steel system.
Car starts first time every morning, again bearing in mind I live in Aberdeen.
Cheap insurance for a young driver or someone with a badly endorsed licence.
Nice little motor for the price and the performance is 2nd to none for a 1.4!
If your lucky enough to find a good one, buy it, you won't be disappointed.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

205 XS's are very very cheap to insure for what they are. I am 19 and I pay £578 in my own name. The best places to try are Direct Line, and the other good one is elephant.co.uk.
