Light, powerful, funny to drive, very living on the road, you had the feeling you were driving, not just moving from A to B point. Credit picture: Argus. It had another big advantage: It was not very expensive to buy AND to maintain... A bygone era, as th...  

Started life as a 1.6 and evolved into the 1.9 with some interesting results. The 1.9 had a reputation for going backwards off the road in wet weather. The T-16 was something else as I found out one February morning ! ...  

Very quickly 😱

It was light, fast for its day and fun. The back parcel shelf would rattle like hell and there was a feeling that if you hit something- it would be the end. A by gone era as you say. Best R

It was everywhere in Rome when I was at high school! I still drive another success from the same time, but much heavier and slower! Thanks for sharing Nicolas! ...  

Mine is a little bit later but both cars run at the same time from 1992 to1994!

Driven to the max by a smoking woman, driving in high heels... around 1987 I was just a boy then but remember very well Here are some ultimate versions of it ...  

Watching other people drive by in their 205 gti or r5 gt turbo while I was lumping along in my 104 as a young student, you do learn the meaning of envy quickly as a young student

The peugoet is a great car. I was just more attached to renault

That didnt happen but have driven a 205 GR thats still in the family quite a bit. Not a GTI but you can still have some fun with it on a tight twisty road.

Hold onto this as long as you can. I also have cars from this era including a Golf GTI mk1.

His plan was to put in the engine from a 405 Mi16. I saw some work in progress pictures but never the final version. That was after a really serious flooding hit Queensland. That was years ago.

Apparently the 205 GTI seems to be that unreachable grail for me, in 2014 i was lucky to find a 205 XS .... so for the moment i am good. If it weren’t for my Clio and Megane i would have bought a GtI. ...  

Maybe, maybe not. Much depends on the situation, in my current situation i’d go for the gti as i don’t see any reason i could have fun with an A110. Maybe times will change, maybe one day i’ll have a 205 GTI, an A110 and my Clio on the driveway, 3 very im... 

I could just keep my Renault Trafic and the Megane as well.

my second car was a black 205 GTI 1.6 a really quick drive for that time and for my skills; sold it for an Alfa later on....
