>>28192352Peugeot was good until the x07, x08 generations, then was completely trash by completely ignoring their old wisdom and bought engines from Ford.Also they somehow forgot to do seats well.
>>28192352*knewI'll enjoy their older cars though.
Everything you mentioned (except 1-2 Dakar wins IIRC) happened over 25 years ago.
>>28193254everything good happened over 25 years ago
>>28192367This here. Even the 206 was already shitty compared with the 205.I owned a 2nd gen. 106 Rallye for several years and I really kicked that little thing. Most awesome Go-Kart I ever drove. Ate everything and demanded more. Gave her a group N exhaust system including catalytic converter and a sharper camshaft and she turned into a shrieking banshee. Friend had a brand new 206 around the same time and it was a workshop queen with tons of big and small issues.

>>28192352peugeot stopped being good after the x05 generationx06 was kind of OK but it was the beginning of the downfalleverything after that is really bad (yes that includes the 207)
its pretty telling that you use +25 year old talking points
All good things must end.

French cars are my fetish (i am a ouiaboo or francophile) and my next car is either gonna be something obscure (for America) like a ZX Volcane or a 106/306 GTi or a Camaro SS 1LEmaybe a clio rs 172 or 206 rc if euros didnt all run them into the ground in 5 yearsthey come up ridiculously cheap relative to europe when theyre for sale in america for the amount of feels/fun you get where else can you get a 120hp/2100lb fwd car that loves to rev https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1992-citroen-ax/$3500 for this ax gtihttps://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-citroen-zx-volcane-2/this i wish i bidded on badly, colombian spec zx volcane (lhd and rust free)https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1990-peugeot-205-gti-5/i saw this auction and didnt have the money or room at the time
I miss my 205 diesel like you wouldn't believe. I've had nicer cars since but none ever brought a smile to my face like that dusty little hatchback
>>28196238I have a 205 in the states.It's fun.
>>28192352very based
>>28196238Don't US import laws demand standard spec with numbers matching engines?
>>2819778725 year and 1 day old = can import anything, no laws>>28196940is it a gti or at least a xsi?
>>28196238>maybe a clio rs 172 or 206 rc if euros didnt all run them into the ground in 5 yearsLol there's still tons of Clio Sports left this side of the pond, a lot were wrecked yeah but they're really good for not rusting compared to their peers from VW and Ford. I picked up pic related for 400 quid at an auction last month, would cost a load more than that to export it I guess and it would be RHD. There's probably less LHD ones around though.That AX gti is pricey but they were great fun back in the day and there fuck all left now. you should buy it.
>>28196238>>28198627Ah just seen that AX sold like 8 months ago, i'm a retard
>>28193790O Tonyfixer of carsharbringer of the eternally broken enginebless my trip with zero mechanicalsamen
>>28198627Fuck i wish importing cars from the UK wasn't such a fucking hassle. All of the good clios, saxos, axs, 106s... Have been driven into trees in Spain. I just want a french shitbox to throw around some wet narrow roads.
>>28192352no, its just french. and french means slightly different and anything that deviates from the accepted norm is as we all know the worst crap ever without any actual facts to back it up other than the fact its different.
>>28198795Prices are nuts in Europe. I can't find any mk2 RS but the below mk3s would be like £5-6k tops in the UK. If you're willing to put up with RHD it would probably be cheaper even with the hassle.https://www.ooyyo.com/spain/c=CDA31D7114D2854F111BE56FBAFB355B03A11D780DD38677103EF4/6219398951554982972.html/https://www.theparking.eu/used-cars-detail/renault-clio-rs/rs-203-2-0t-alien-green-vert/WAEXRDH1.html
>>28198914My bad, more like £3-4k lolhttps://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4439441.m570.l1313&_nkw=clio+197&_sacat=9800
>>28198914Portugal here, these cars were cheap a few years ago but prices are going bananas now.You could get a twingo for like 300 € 10 years ago now it's more like 1.5-2k €.
>>28198924Previous gen (and not even the 182) are around 8000-9000€ with decent mileage (probably ridden to the limiter every time they drove, like they should). Fucking grim.
>>28192352I spotted a 405 parked on the street in California recently, one of the weirder cars to find in the wild here.
