That Peugeot.
It's such a happy car.
Love that little lyon.
John West This XUD diesel was the most fun to drive diesel engine of its generation, when ford 1.6 diesel block was truly a massey-ferguson engine.
You all prolly dont care but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the login password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Michael Onyx instablaster ;)
I'm British and I would still have that 205 over the other cars.
I've owned bot the 205gti and the Lotus. I loved my 205 but the Lotus is was more fun
I’d rather have the Jensen.
I must now edit this comment because I find it very ironic, I now have a Peugeot 205, and it’s a diesel.
205 gti 1.9l is perhaps one of the greatest cars of all
Time
Only 5 seconds more with a 60bhp diesel. What a relief.
non turbo...
That little 205 XUD did a cracking job for a 23 year old diesel hatchback! Kudos. Love a good 205.
so a old Peugeot diesel that don't smock... learn that TDI...
hahahahaha TDI technology become more sofisticated now
@@badisba698 You mean dieselgate ? Come on billy boy
hahahahaha that really hilarious!!!! and unbelievable!!!
I have a 205 Diesel with 225000 miles on the clock, doesn’t smoke at all runs beautifully, much better than any German shite.
It'll roll a few coals if you bury the throttle scooting off from junction but otherwise they're pretty good.
I live in Germany. Here Golf 1, and 2 GTI are obviously easier to see than the 205 but this is an exception. Even in Belgium there are plenty of 205 GTI. Except France, in Italy, Spain, Portugal, or even the UK you may find more 205 GTI than Golf Mk1 or MK 2 GTI. FYI even here in Germany a magasine like Auto Bild, which is called VW Bild due to ther biased test pro-VW, admit that the Golf may have been the 1st GTI, but that 205 GTI was the best of all regarding the respect of GTI spirit.
Soussmeboules
First GTi was a Masserati was it not? It was not a hatchback though I think.
i couldn't get a GTI so i got a diesel instead, its basically the same thing...
lol
I just inherited a 205 as my first car and man it is fun to drive
Mercedes c class broke after 35000km, Toyota Verso had to get a second Engine after 15000km, Jeep Cherokee had the Diff Smoke issue on 23000km, Peugeot 307Hdi 152000km on the clock and 11 years old needed 2 oil seals and a new radiator pipe. :) Needless to say I am still driving my Peugeot.
mine has 173000mls+ on the clock drives like new sailed through the mot on monday.
NICE
+Danie Bredenhann 300000 kilometers, 28 years, still no problems and driven daily. Gotta love a 205!
Apostol ZD
Nice, now that is cool. I also tend to buy older French cars rather than a new overpriced plastic car these days. Much more value for money vs a new car that loses 25% of it's value once you drive it off the showroom floor.
205 is one of the best car I ever ride.
You don´t need a 205 GTI for this Lap-Times...
... a 205 XS would be quite sufficient...
... a 205 GTI would only play with you ;)
But I love your sarcasm :D
+1 in all ^^
"they're basically the same..." lol
Glorious 205: Diesel, GTI, GTX, T16... It doesn't matter at all.
Keep dreaming! 205 GTI is way over Golf GTI. 205 is the true GTI! Look how many of these are still driver nowadays still 20 years after the last 205 GTI produced. 205 in general is way more reliable than you think, and even more reliable than a golf of its generation.
@Mulph No I‘m not mistaken. Most journalist or racing driver who drove both in that era would confirm as well.
The 205 GTI is usually a bit more expensive than the Golf GTI 1. Even where I live in Germany its normal value is a tad higher than the one of Golf 1 GTI, in same condition.
The 205 GTI (205 T16 taken appart) has a has a race history in Europe that the Golf GTI doesn’t and that makes all the difference.
The Golf look more solid from the materials inside as well as the steel used in the body, but both are on same level regarding reliability, and the 205 is more fun to drive and the most efficient / fastest one.
My first car as a 1972 Jensen Healey in british racing green like this one. Restored it with my dad over 4 year period and drove it when I was 18. I currently drive a VW Golf MK1 cabriolet and the JH is easily the more fun to drive. Reliability, there's another story...
Beating a French shopping car powered by a 60hp diesel engine...
What an achievement ;)
I would love to know how a proper GTI time would be
haha i love that the review is full of incorrect facts
Hahaha the 205 isnt even the Turbo Diesel version and it wasn't far behind the other cars...
1:11 I LOVE the interior!
I'd like to see a real group B 205 do this :).
205 GRD for the win to back to work every open day. TVR, Lotus and Jensen... on a flat bed truck. ^^
the guy above the guy above the below poeple is very cool :)
I'm glad to see the Top Gear Boys likes Picnics as much as I do.
@xRaIDeNx69
They know that why do you think they "couldnt find" a GTI
that TVR has a beautiful interior
Pug 205 and 205 gti r the best!
I own one red Golf mk2 GTI 16valve from 88, so I think any other discussion is indeed useless :D
If even a 205 diesel could come that close to the lap times of the so called sports cars, then a GTI would absolutely humiliate them...
What an asshole is Clarkson, he knew GTi would be close competition so he got a diesel one. WTF?
Specs from peugeot:
Diesel 205 GRD 59HP
Gasoline 205 GTi 130HP
+lower height and better handling
But they are pretty much the same, aren't they?
Blaz Cigale Don't take it too seriously, it's comedy.They even make fun of their own cars.
@Eldoro82 You're right, get on it.
205 GTI was the MAC.
That´s not a GTI, that´s a Peugeot 205 GRD, diesel 1.8D. 60HP.
0:59 Come on, Clarkson! Grind it ‘til you find it!
I would absolutely buy that 205 over the other 3 cars
some one should take a proper 205 Gti to that track and post the lap time here.
The Peugeot had a Darwin fish on the back XD fuckin love it
205 Turbo 16....if GTi wasn't available.... that would do just fine :]
So a normal family diesel car beating british sportscar is a big achievement especially for it's age lol
what? i just watched the same clip but from the episode and now I see this one and its mirror like....how????? dont get that .....
Any desent desil Peugeot made since 1985 has a turbo,,even the turbo desil 205 would of hammerd these
Loved top gear
I'd rather have my 1.1l Peugeot 205 over those 3 cars any day! Cost me £200, I've done 23,000 miles in it and not had a single problem with her.
dont you just love how they talk shit about cars that they had previously tested and loved...???
lol there's a video of him driving the Peugeot 205 gti and how he loved it and it could beat a lamborghini diablo. lol I love you clarkson you crazy old fart
@raoulrazer Nice! I wanna know if are they expensive to insure?
Richard Hammond should be the most fanciable over 40s male in the UK.
In this episode, when Hammond arrives in his car, what's the name of the song that's playing? If anybody knows it would be much appreciated :D
@RWL2011 yeah, i used the word proper becous a poorly maintained Gti wouldnt deliver as well as a proper one. :)
@RWL2011 Yeah, i know...
@DaNeZtheMaNeZ
lol, I was watching it without audio xD =P
FULL CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@crostanza
Sorry for the misunderstanding there. I sometimes have trouble getting Hammond's humour and sarcasm.
Wow Hammond OLD!!!
Why cant I find the whole episode now?
Errr... Excuse me if I'm wrong, but did a non-supercharged Diesel powered 205 run-of-the-mill 205 GRD (the most basic 205 model, using indirect injection 1.9L Diesel engine) get a lap time close to that of 3 British sports car? So then, one might wonder what the 205 Turbo D (it is an actual model, but with reinforced frame and brakes) or an actual mint condition 205 GTI 1.9would have pulled.
Probably 1.45.
hehe - you`re right - vw invented it - but peugeot made it :) faster, lighter and more powerful than the golf gti
Oh yeah!
You're wrong, most of the car brands that have been bought out are still made in Britain, the old mini has a very distinguished history as one of the best rally cars ever made, Bentley cars are still made in Britain, Lotus - a car brand renowned for being one of the best handling, Rolls Royce are still made in Britain, Mclaren are just epic, Aston Martin. Also you know that Motorsport called F1? well it wouldn't be anything without Britain. Do your research before you say anything.
What about a 205T16? They should have tried racing against that
@KEEMinternational sarcasm dude...
@piersremus some people edit these videos to revers so that the copywright issues won't take them down.
a 205 GTi 1.9L even in stock with its "only" 130hp beat these English cars on a track of course
it's for that these 3 English don't put a 205 GTI 1.9L 130hp on the track ^^
I know at least 3 of my English friends Fan & owner of a 205 GTI 130hp who have their car ready for that!
It's in the main reason the arrival of the 205 GTi 1.6L 105hp & 115hp & 1.9L 130hp more fun, faster, more reliable & less expensive which is why the old English sports cars unreliable & poorly finished, have disappeared
You did realize that they were very, very sarcastic right? 😂
and the mk3 and 4? lmao
@rock3tcat You do understand the basis of top gear right... obviously it would have thats why he got a diesel. The whole point of the show is entertainment and getting people talking.
@TheFuggedaboutit Sure thay did, but can you pleas tell me the reason why thay turned there aim from Britain to Russia?
Is it that the (old deceptive and perfidious) English (Francophobe here? ^^) humour? OK :p
So not need to take a 205 GTi (1,6L or 1.9L and I had one 1.9L 130hp in the 90's) because even my (also) old 205 Turbo Diesel in the beggining of the 90's 'll explose these (poor examples why the English lost all their national builders today...) sport English cars on a track... Keep cool English, that is just (more realistic) French humour ! ^^
yes, pretty much! A back-handed compliment to the French :)
@EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME
Yeah, if anyone has a link to the full challenge or smthg we'd like to have it.
Plz
You just listed the worst cars, have you conveniently forgotten; Aston Martins, Rolls Royce, Bentley, old mini, Mclaren, Range Rover, Land Rover, Lotus, Ariel atom, Jaguar, Morgan, Noble, Vauxhall. It most certainly wasn't a flop, and we most certainly can do it better than the others.
I love the sheer blind love of these terrible 80's british sports cars! I missed this on T.V and my Mrs said - 'You just missed these cars beating a 205 like yours (mines actually a GTI but she's female don't forget) around the track'...
Me = 'eh?' So I watched the clip and then LOL'd. The diseasel wasn't far behind really, if it at least had GTi suspension and brakes it probably would have beaten them.
@ForThoseWhoAreWise no, I think its called saying what suits you then and there...
@lukerobin01 Yes, there were a few good British models. The Jaguar XK120 was brilliant.
Surprising top gear did not put the Peugeot 208 T16 on the track. Sebastien Loeb beat the world record in 2013.
would a peugeot 205 gti be good for a first car and a project for mods??
Finn Barrett please don't modify one if its original. they are so rare
And don't get one for a first car. You'll end up in a ditch or a river. You need to know what you're doing.
As for the Rolls Royce the engine and most of the car is made in Germany and its finished in Britain
ok Clarkson, get a 205 gti on this track and have your 3 British made cars shredded as a result.... that iq whay you got 205vgti didn't you. That speaks volumes
4:23 4:23 4:23 4:23
4:23 4:23 4:23 4:23
4:23 4:23 4:23 4:23
The guy above the guy below is cool XD
@ogatobranco Just fine? The T16 Evo 2 would smoke not only the "blistering" lot of British sportscars but practically eat all of today's supercars like the Veyron, Enzo etc. for breakfast as well.
A GTi would have smoked all 3 lap times.
@TheFuggedaboutit Hang about, we British still struggle enough with our own language - even if the Americans didn't help out and we were invaded by Germany, we wouldn't be speaking German by now
But what about 205 T16?? xD
If it was a T16. They say .....................right😐
@Alpacajon
/care?
Clarkson once said : The Peugeot 205 Gti A LEGEND! A fantastic little car!!Also on RUclips. In this clip he's LYING!!!
Get a 205T16... Then we talk =P
@MikeDudeo :'(
Why are you saying that when you're from the UK? also lets just replace those sports cars with an old mini and see who wins, I'm sure the mini would win.
@DaNeZtheMaNeZ Lol why? O.o
@777AreY0uSure
oh, its u again...yep, i'm sure
@distantkilljoy beat that ^_^
Richard Hammond: FWD is better.
I.R: Bullshit! FWD is wrong. RWD is the way to go if you want fun, FWD is the way to go if you are a woman in a MX5 and 4WD is the way to go if you have lots of cash.
Powered by BMW, hahaha.
The new stig is Damon Hill so I heard.
we should promote British cars, not talk them down
@xRaIDeNx69 No shit
I swear that was Karl Pilkington at 0:04 ...
@TheFuggedaboutit And what im getting at is that USA didnt win the war by themselves which is a common statement from Americans. And you have to realize what Britains did, there defence was really crutial in term of the defeat of Germany, and Americas involvement in ww2. If Germany would have defeated Britain, thay would have taken over Iceland as well, Iceland was used by USA as a pit stop to Europe, Germany would have done the same thing to go to USA.
That was a big burden for Britain.
@1910887 Close 2 it lol.
