Where abouts are you?

 

Most counties have a group with meets once a month, probably best joining PSOOC.

Full 10 years of daily drive with my cherry red 205 .. never let me down all this years .

 

When you replace/refresh all the worn bits and bobs , you'll get an great fun to drive and reliable car . Either of the two 1.6 or 1.9 8v the mechanics is bulletproof , when maintained correctly this engines will go for very long time ..

 

They're easy to DIY , and parts are still available (bar the body panels/segments which are mostly out of production .. however non OE parts can be sourced with regards to the bodywork ..)

My commute involves to much motorway driving, however I have used it as a daily driver in the past and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Echoing everyone's comments, proactive maintenance on any 25 yr old car is key: most of all, enjoy it!

Once you get used to de-icing the inside of the windows as well as the outside you'll be fine

Yep got the rear brakes done so went for a little drive and such. Did enjoy wiping the inside of the front window every 2 mins until it got warm.

 

Where/what is this mobile app? I did look in the app store but couldn't find it.

i use my 205 gti1.6 as my daily and dont have any reliabilty issues at all as long as i do all the regular maintenance and checks

 

and have driven from lancashire to kent and back 3 times this year as well as daily journeys.

 

i have owned 3 205 gti's ( 2 1.6's and a 1.9 ) over the years and know them pretty well so i suppose that helps.

 

i also agree with whats previously been said in that driven gently a 205 gti will give very reasonable mpg although nowhere near a recently manufactured car.

 

already been mentioned is the high gearing on the 1.6 which makes for noisy cruising but its not unbearable by any means.

 

the main issues with a 205 these days is parts availability as so much is nfa at peugeot dealerships but with a great comunity of enthusiastic owners at this forum we can all keep ours cars on the road for many years to come

 

so welcome to the forum and i look forward to you posting pics of your car and hearing of any progress you make.
