1991 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9

Posted May 9, 2020May 7, 2020 The PetrolHeadLeave a commentPosted in Fantasy Garage

The 205 was launched by Peugeot in 1983 and nearly won the European Car of the Year award in it’s first year.  The secret of it’s success was its adoption of brand new, modern technology as opposed to raiding the parts bin a la British Leyland. The 205 had MacPherson struts at the front and […]

PSA merges with FCA

Posted February 12, 2020April 20, 2020 The PetrolHeadLeave a commentPosted in Motoring News

The featured image on this post above is a Citroen SM, a car that was far ahead of its time and a result of Citroen purchasing Maserati and shoehorning a Maserati V6 into stylish coachwork that benefitted from the uber-sophisticated Citroen suspension. And why am I highlighting this car?  Because the PSA group and FCA […]

Spiritual successor to the legendary 205 GTi?

Posted January 30, 2020April 20, 2020 The PetrolHeadLeave a commentPosted in Cars, Spotted in the wild

Video review – Peugeot 108 1.0 Automatic

Posted January 20, 2020February 28, 2020 The PetrolHeadLeave a commentPosted in Cars, Video reviews

On location in Greece, I took the 108 from Peugeot on review.  For this drive I used the 1.0 petrol engine that is supplied by Toyota and also found in the Toyota Aygo (spoiler alert – this is a lively engine well matched to this little car, but it’s 5 speed auto box struggles with […]

Video review – Peugeot 208 1.6HDi

Posted November 15, 2019February 28, 2020 The PetrolHeadPosted in Cars, Video reviews

On location in Greece, I had the option to review the 2018 model of the 208 from Peugeot.  I had the chance to drive both the 1.4 HDi and the 1.6HDi (spoiler alert – the engine is lacking any sort of oomph and the base model of this Peugeot comes with very little driver aids […]
