My first car was a 20 yr old Peugeot 205 XS, i bought it last year when i was 18 and i loved it. It was a 1.4 with 85bhp. It was so fast for the engine size. (0-60 in around 9 seconds) My dad thought it was a 1.8. It was really fun to drive, and really cool as it looks so retro. I absolutely loved it, right until it died with 103,000 miles on the clock. Replaced the engine and now its even quicker, but i bought a more reliable fiesta to save money.
