Talk:Peugeot 205

message: Dispute NPOV on the comment 'King of the GTIs'!  While this was certainly one of the finest hot hatches of the era, a nod should be given to its direct competitor, the faster Renault 5 GT Turbo.
The Mk.1 Golf was a revoluntionary car, which started the hot hatch era.  The 205 GTI was merely a fine example from the crowd of vehicles that followed, including the Vauxhall Nova GSi/GSE, Ford Fiesta XR2/RS Turbo and so on. akaDruid 11:16, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: "The 205 GRD (1.8 Diesel, 59 bhp, 78 lb/ft), for instance, was as fast yet smoother than the 205 GR (1.4 Petrol, 59 bhp, 78 lb/ft - yup, same figures but the diesel was torquier lower down) while using much less fuel." - doesn't seem very formally written. GBM 00:59, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Writing style

message: Why hardly any mention of the very competitively priced and hugely successful 'last of series' 3- and 5-door 'Génération'? Perhaps they were (still) called 'Sacré Numero' or 'Forever' on some markets or perhaps they weren't available on every market anymore but they were very swift and stylish with their 1.4i or 1.8d engine and 'chique' colours, velours upholstery and 'everything electric'...
And at least in the Netherlands they were reduced in price to a level seen at least a decade previously.
Could anyone complete the story?

message: No mention of the 2 litre cabriolet anywhere, my friends mum had one it was incredibly quick backed up by her numerous bans and speeding tickets.

thread_title:  CTi 2L 

message: Pininfarina claim the 205 as their design, from what I can tell (I don't speak Italian) http://www.pininfarina.it/index/storiaModelli/modelli.html?modelli.php?sl=6&cmp=anno&ord=desc&ids=2a783se2oa63fl789ie667t7d6 . It was also (GTi model) credited to them on Jeremy Clarkson's The Car Years. Are there reliable sources which say it is not a Pininfarina design or indeed better sources which say it is? --kingboyk (talk) 11:30, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pininfarina 

message: I used to own one of these. It was a diesel version (XUD7T) and looked the same as a GTi. I remember hearing that they were GTi body’s and suspension just with an XUD7T plonked in, I do not have a reference though. Fairly late model I think, mine was on an “L” registration plate in the UK. I also had always heard that Peugeot paid Pinifarina for the styling on the 205, again though I have no reference.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by WoodMel (talk • contribs) 12:47, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm not an expert on the 205, but I noticed that in the history section, it has a gallery section of images listed as "pre facelift", but then in the 1990s onwards section it states "Such was the success of the 205, its exterior styling was never facelifted or significantly altered in its 15-year production run apart from details". So i'm wondering what "facelift" is the gallery referring to? Or is it incorrect? TKOIII (talk) 18:20, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: - it isn't quite a facelift, but I don't know what else to call it. Maybe change it to something like it never received anything beyond a minimal refresh?  Mr.choppers | ✎  18:49, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Mostly I just wanted to know for the purposes of finding improved images, but yeah i'll probably change it a bit to be somewhat clearer for readers. Thanks for letting me know. TKOIII (talk) 19:40, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
