Brings a huge smile to my face
Havent driven my 205 for about 5 weeks now. Old girl has been sat on my drive while I've been on holiday and generally deciding what work to do with it over the winter.
Just took it up the garage to put some wind in the wheels and did a couple of miles afterwards. God that car puts a smile on my face. Why cant they make cars like it now? It just feels like it wants to be driven and driven hard. Considering it hadnt moved for 5 weeks it started almost before the key was in the ignition, brakes handn't bound on, felt smooth and revy.......
What more can I say, it owes me nothing and if it keeps giving me the buzz I dont think I will ever sell it .......
Long live the 205

Same story with my '6. Was not driven since my last Ring trip, took it out on Friday after 4 weeks of sitting in the garage - started first time, and felt just great.
It's safely tucked away in a garage in a quiet little village now - eagerly awaiting some more mods to be added over winter.
Cheap french clutter they are, but they are so very very good!!

Not sure you can actually put your finger on what it is, BUT, when you take them up the road they just really want to be driven.......Raw, light , charasmatic, cheap, fun
