Peugeot is a popular European car manufacturer and one of its most popular models was the 205. Though this car is now no longer in production (the last car rolled off the production line in 1998), it is credited with the rise in Peugeots popularity and was a 'supermini' of its time. It was available in 3 or 5 door versions and various engine sizes in either petrol or diesel. It has now been succeeded by the 206 model.
Peugeot is a long established company, having been founded in the early part of the 19th century. It initially produced bicycles and continued with this for some years, though the company divided into bike and car manufacture separately fairly early on. It is only fairly recently that bike manufacture has seized at Peugeot. Like many companies of its kind it has worked with other leading car manufacturers at some point in its history and these have included both Renault and Volvo.
