1987 Peugeot 205 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers have a lot of fond memories with the 1987 Peugeot 205, particularly praising its fun performance and lightweight handling. Many appreciated its sporty feel, especially in the GTi versions, noting it can outperform even more modern cars on tight roads. However, concerns were raised about build quality and reliability, with some mentioning engine issues and rear grip loss during spirited driving."
Questionable build quality in certain areas but otherwise a good engine. 3 door hatch is an instant classic. Cheap and fun reliable car, ideal for first time buyers and drivers. Has a tendency to lose grip from the back wheels for an even better time!
September 13, 2009It was a GTi which was not an option to choose in this application. it was awesome. would loved to have had/driven a later series with the uprated engine... maybe someday
February 16, 2008Oldtimer, need TLC, but when you give it the propper attention, it will give you a fun oldscool gti drive, with nice handling and lot of power. I use this car for Hillclimbing and sunday drives to the icecream shop. even the missy, think its a "cute" drive.. Low costs on sparepartsm ebay.co.uk is loaded with nice Parts Low milage per gallon, if you floor it, and you will.. :) Fun Fun Fun

August 6, 2012The Peugeot 205 GTi, Either The 1.6 or the 1.9 (my is the 1.9) many petrol heads have raved on about this car for many years, and with good reason, both models where amazing cars, in my opinion on rough, tight country roads this lttle car could out run sports cars or probably even supercars, it is so useable at high speed corners, the build of the interior is wot u can imagine from peugeot, very cheap, but u just don't care, i suggest to any hot-hatch fans buy one, clean it up and look after it
May 4, 2008Fast car, handling, light weight. Had two, blew one up, but, think it was shagged before hand.
December 24, 2007It was my very first car and bought out of my own very hard earned college grant which I placed as a bet on a horse in the grand national - great memories!!! I'll never forget this little piece of magic!
March 10, 2009When landing all four wheels off a humpback bridge at over sixty mph the gear linkage has a tendency to snap. Nippy little thing, fast and light, not especially fuel efficient, made from painted pig-iron and bolts. A timeless car, would have another if it wasn't so so so old!
July 8, 2008This was a 1987 Peugeot 205 GTI, the 1.6l model. It produced 115 bhp and weighted 900Kg. I bought it with a broken engine. I replaced it but I never drove it because it never started again due to the alarm system which shut the whole thing down. This is why I hate it. 8 month were spent on it and it ended up in tiny bits sold all around the country. For having driven a friend's GTI, all I can say is that it bites. It fades under heavy braking, the back end often ends up in front and the engine cannot handle too much boost. (broken engine had a split conrod and split head)
January 8, 2008Interior is basic Exterior not bad looking considering age of car now Performance is second only to GTi model Nice first car loved it
