Peugeot 205 Gti review
Peugeot 205 GTi Road Test
Test date 23 June 1984
Price as tested £6,520
There can be no doubt that the outward similarity of the Peugeot 205 GTi and Peugeot’s Group B rally weapon, the Turbo 16, is due to more than coincidence. But for most sporting drivers, the 205 GTi is about as close as they’re going to get to Peugeot’s compact but potent contender for World Rally Championship honours. Although the hot hatch GTi is the first 205 to appear in three-door form, it is clear that from the outset the range was intended to contain both three- and five-door versions which would accept a wide variety of power units and suspension systems. This is by far the most fun.
