As you'd probably have guessed from my signature, I'm rather fond of 205's.
There's things about them that I don't like of course, but I've simply never found another car that puts a smile on my face in the same way, a FWD car with such wonderful balance that you can steer it almost as well using the throttle as you can the steering wheel. It's eager, agile and offers up plenty of feedback through the controls, yet it is comfortable, economical and practical package.
I'd love to find a modern day replacement that delivers the same thrills, but I've so far failed, hence still driving the 205 despite it's ever advancing years and all that comes with that.
