I might buy a 1992 model 205 GTI 1.6. I have done a lot of research on different 205 GTI sites and know pretty much what to look out for, but I thought I'd ask here to :)
According to Jeremy Clarkson (JC, Car Years-The New Romantics) it was the best hatchback of the era. What do you guys think?

The price: 500euro, it has done 80.000km/50.000miles
 
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: *Great* choice - I want one.

Only thing I'd consider would be stretching to the 1.9 model, but hell the 1.6 is still a great car.
 
i think i'm gonna buy a 205 as well, but only a 1.2 or sth.

i still wanne have a reason to sell it in a few months

cool car :thumbsup:

kind of a ladies car though, dunno how it's in other areas, but over here ALL 18-year-old girls which need a car, get a 205
 
whats wrong with the mk2 golf gti? which i think is about the same era...

(not flaming, i just want to know which is the better car :))

It's all a matter of personal tastes, of course.

I, for instance, have determined that I will own a Golf II GTI before I die.
 
It was on a program called wheeler dealers today on discovery. Where they buy a modern classic for less than 1000 pounds and sell it, for what they try to present as a profit.

I found a video of it online, i'll pm it to anyone who wants it so that the link doesn't get abused.
 
The 205 GTi is nothing short of SPECTACULAR.

You might lag behind on the straits to more powerfull cars but just wait and see when a bend show up. You don't need to slow down for corners. And for a FWD it understeers very very little. If you go to entusiatsic through a tight bend you might even get some oversteer. They are simply just a joy to drive.

Mixtrix I think the Golf GTi is not as raw as the 205 GTi. It's a bit softer in the chassi and also a bit heavier and not as quick.
 
there are a couple of 205 GTI owners on this forum... I absolutely love the 205 GTI, great looking car :thumbsup:
