Brit Cars V The Peugeot 205 - Top Gear Series 15 Episode 6 - BBC

[@stanislavpavlov6311]

That Peugeot. It's such a happy car. Love that little lyon.

[@dionysos46]

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.

[@michaelonyx3903]

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.

[@briggsezra7783]

@Michael Onyx instablaster ;)

[@nadeemm429]

205 gti 1.9l is perhaps one of the greatest cars of all Time

[@Everything_Evan]

I'm British and I would still have that 205 over the other cars.

[@stevegiles4549]

I've owned bot the 205gti and the Lotus. I loved my 205 but the Lotus is was more fun

[@callumhardy5098]

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.

[@WeMuckAround]

That little 205 XUD did a cracking job for a 23 year old diesel hatchback! Kudos. Love a good 205.

[@CaptainDangeax]

Only 5 seconds more with a 60bhp diesel. What a relief.

[@f1master973]

non turbo...

[@Soussmeboules]

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.

[@kresimircosic6158]

Soussmeboules First GTi was a Masserati was it not? It was not a hatchback though I think.

[@rui518]

so a old Peugeot diesel that don't smock... learn that TDI...

[@badisba698]

hahahahaha TDI technology become more sofisticated now

[@CaptainDangeax]

@@badisba698 You mean dieselgate ? Come on billy boy

[@FierrosViejosEJD]

hahahahaha that really hilarious!!!! and unbelievable!!!

[@callumhardy5098]

I have a 205 Diesel with 225000 miles on the clock, doesn’t smoke at all runs beautifully, much better than any German shite.

[@barrybas]

It'll roll a few coals if you bury the throttle scooting off from junction but otherwise they're pretty good.

[@saa044]

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.

[@scotty87able]

mine has 173000mls+ on the clock drives like new sailed through the mot on monday.

[@saa044]

NICE

[@ivantomicic9930]

+Danie Bredenhann 300000 kilometers, 28 years, still no problems and driven daily. Gotta love a 205!

[@saa044]

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.

[@Soussmeboules]

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.

[@Soussmeboules]

@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.

[@colj001]

i couldn't get a GTI so i got a diesel instead, its basically the same thing... lol

[@acdcmetal3]

I just inherited a 205 as my first car and man it is fun to drive

[@CorvZR1ette]

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

[@clio2rsminicup]

+1 in all ^^

[@FuukanaTV]

205 is one of the best car I ever ride.

[@overdrivegear]

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...

[@Paporrubio]

Glorious 205: Diesel, GTI, GTX, T16... It doesn't matter at all.

[@petrolheadfrombr]

I would love to know how a proper GTI time would be

[@dancelittlesquire]

"they're basically the same..." lol

[@UnholyPele]

1:11 I LOVE the interior!

[@bc9477]

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?

[@philperry6564]

Blaz Cigale Don't take it too seriously, it's comedy.They even make fun of their own cars.

[@cmagennis927]

Hahaha the 205 isnt even the Turbo Diesel version and it wasn't far behind the other cars...

[@Molo9000]

Beating a French shopping car powered by a 60hp diesel engine... What an achievement ;)

[@dionysos46]

205 GRD for the win to back to work every open day. TVR, Lotus and Jensen... on a flat bed truck. ^^

[@danbuter]

I'd like to see a real group B 205 do this :).

[@grechjames]

haha i love that the review is full of incorrect facts

[@waynetan6359]

Pug 205 and 205 gti r the best!

[@KylesITOUCH]

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

[@Motorfordtoyota]

Why cant I find the whole episode now?

[@StaticFalconar]

I'm glad to see the Top Gear Boys likes Picnics as much as I do.

[@cristian821987]

that TVR has a beautiful interior

[@MikeDudeo]

the guy above the guy above the below poeple is very cool :)

[@BugsBunny_xD]

@xRaIDeNx69 They know that why do you think they "couldnt find" a GTI

[@MrFredHoogendoorn]

@raoulrazer Nice! I wanna know if are they expensive to insure?

[@MrSupercar55]

0:59 Come on, Clarkson! Grind it ‘til you find it!

[@rock3tcatU233]

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...

[@AR1G3]

I own one red Golf mk2 GTI 16valve from 88, so I think any other discussion is indeed useless :D

[@kyleterris2481]

The Peugeot had a Darwin fish on the back XD fuckin love it

[@clio2rsminicup]

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

[@MatanEyal96]

You did realize that they were very, very sarcastic right? 😂

[@Jose-Sousa]

205 Turbo 16....if GTi wasn't available.... that would do just fine :]

[@piersremus]

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 .....

[@JackyRowe]

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.

[@Crocodingle]

@Eldoro82 You're right, get on it.

[@Eldoro82]

some one should take a proper 205 Gti to that track and post the lap time here.

[@minstrelofMir]

Any desent desil Peugeot made since 1985 has a turbo,,even the turbo desil 205 would of hammerd these

[@madantuk]

Loved top gear

[@macbainism1]

hehe - you`re right - vw invented it - but peugeot made it :) faster, lighter and more powerful than the golf gti

[@B_W3604]

That´s not a GTI, that´s a Peugeot 205 GRD, diesel 1.8D. 60HP.

[@jonbob9872]

205 GTI was the MAC.

[@finnbarrett8418]

would a peugeot 205 gti be good for a first car and a project for mods??

[@johannes8309]

Finn Barrett please don't modify one if its original. they are so rare

[@thomasdrummond6939]

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.

[@JMEUTEUW]

I would absolutely buy that 205 over the other 3 cars

[@Eldoro82]

@RWL2011 yeah, i used the word proper becous a poorly maintained Gti wouldnt deliver as well as a proper one. :)

[@MauriceSaraber]

So a normal family diesel car beating british sportscar is a big achievement especially for it's age lol

[@ticalh76]

@EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME Yeah, if anyone has a link to the full challenge or smthg we'd like to have it. Plz

[@B_W3604]

@DaNeZtheMaNeZ lol, I was watching it without audio xD =P

[@Fredward1986]

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.

[@Nishathri]

Richard Hammond should be the most fanciable over 40s male in the UK.

[@LUKE0ST3L0S99]

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.

[@GM572]

@crostanza Sorry for the misunderstanding there. I sometimes have trouble getting Hammond's humour and sarcasm.

[@luedriver]

dont you just love how they talk shit about cars that they had previously tested and loved...???

[@clio2rsminicup]

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 ! ^^

[@alfamonk]

yes, pretty much! A back-handed compliment to the French :)

[@mSzwed]

@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.

[@MrWillFell]

@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

[@mitch075fr]

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.

[@jochemderuijter5267]

Clarkson once said : The Peugeot 205 Gti A LEGEND! A fantastic little car!!Also on KZbin. In this clip he's LYING!!!

[@johnmcluskey]

What about a 205T16? They should have tried racing against that

[@鉄道系男子]

4:23 4:23 4:23 4:23 4:23 4:23 4:23 4:23 4:23 4:23 4:23 4:23

[@skippers96]

@piersremus some people edit these videos to revers so that the copywright issues won't take them down.

[@Eldoro82]

@TheFuggedaboutit Sure thay did, but can you pleas tell me the reason why thay turned there aim from Britain to Russia?

[@EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME]

FULL CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Eldoro82]

@RWL2011 Yeah, i know...

[@MegaCenaforever]

Surprising top gear did not put the Peugeot 208 T16 on the track. Sebastien Loeb beat the world record in 2013.

[@GM572]

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.

[@gabrielvieira6529]

Oh yeah!

[@shobin05]

and the mk3 and 4? lmao

[@guillaumeromain6694]

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

[@LUKE0ST3L0S99]

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.

[@geericks]

@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.

[@Kinetic38]

@KEEMinternational sarcasm dude...

[@ChrisPatrick-q6k]

Wow Hammond OLD!!!

[@MrKypseli7]

As for the Rolls Royce the engine and most of the car is made in Germany and its finished in Britain

[@sunonthewindow]

@lukerobin01 Yes, there were a few good British models. The Jaguar XK120 was brilliant.

[@luedriver]

@ForThoseWhoAreWise no, I think its called saying what suits you then and there...

[@TheFist2urface]

@1910887 Close 2 it lol.

[@sunonthewindow]

I found this quite frustrating, despite knowing they are being sarcastic. There is little doubt that the British motoring industry suffered a bigger collapse than any other, to a point where they hardly produce anything these days, and Mini, Rolls Royce, Bentley etc. are all owned by Germans. The British could never really make cars properly, and I would have liked to have seen a Peugeot 205 Gti thrash the hell out of those pasty, tea-drinking old queenies.

[@Eldoro82]

@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.

[@035TheAlexa]

But what about 205 T16?? xD

[@Pesamorrison123]

@MrWillFell Yeah your right but answering to the TheFuggedaboutit, the Americans gave the Brits useful force and plenty of help but even so if Germany didn't make critical Military mistakes they still would've invaded.And anyway America don't deserve all the credit the Brits endured the war for a long time before the the Yanks came.

[@distantkilljoy]

The guy above the guy below is cool XD

[@LUKE0ST3L0S99]

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.

[@amirfikry9667]

If it was a T16. They say .....................right😐

[@B_W3604]

@DaNeZtheMaNeZ Lol why? O.o

[@B_W3604]

Get a 205T16... Then we talk =P

[@sim6699]

we should promote British cars, not talk them down

[@mohcenbdj8071]

Jeremy ,the great cheater 😅 a grd of 50hp insted of the gti of 105 hp minimum

[@Dirtboyindahouse]

@777AreY0uSure oh, its u again...yep, i'm sure

[@AR1G3]

Maybe but the golf GTI was only 100kg heavier. And even then, if these 100kg's are what matter for you then you don't understand 'GTI'.GTI = a normal family car which is practical and safe but on the right time in the right place gets better than a sportscar. On the aspect of being safe and well built I think the Golf just drives over the 205 and leaves it smashed to pieces behind.

[@Soussmeboules]

Well in fact the 205 GTI was a bit heavier than the Golf 1 GTI for slightly the same dimensions. Time showed that your affirmations don't really stand. You still see many 205 on the road in 2020, even more than Golf 1 and Golf 2 in most european countries, Germany excepted. And a lot of them are still on the road in France, way more than you can see Golf 1, 2, and 3 together here in Germany. The 205 GTI with lower 1.6 engine 105 HP is already faster, funnier to drive and at least as practical as the Golf 1, and reliability is not a problem for the 205 in general. As for the value as a collection car, the 205 GTI 1.6/1.9 is already a tad more expensive on average than the Golf 1 GTI, even in Germany.

[@Jinppa]

Powered by BMW, hahaha.

[@MikeDudeo]

@distantkilljoy beat that ^_^

[@Roguirio]

The new stig is Damon Hill so I heard.

[@DaveSpicerAU]

I swear that was Karl Pilkington at 0:04 ...

[@distantkilljoy]

@MikeDudeo :'(
