A Forgotten Legend... [Peugeot 505 Quick Review] | Car Review #17

The French have long been known for making some of the strangest cars in history, such as the Citroen DS, the 2CV and the Renault Aventine, whatever it may be, however, there are some hidden gems in the French automotive world, You know those cars with very special details, but they are quite ignored by most people, the so-called underrated cars, as I had to call them, there is a new badge among the most important luxury cars in the world. The new Peugeot 505, the source of the stock car rodent track describes that leaves behind many cars that have a sportier reputation.

Yes, meet the Peugeot 505, a car well known by enthusiasts for its durability and comfort; However, to a normal person, this may not seem like a special car. I mean, as you can see, it wasn't actually designed to stand out for its square shape, however, despite its shape it was actually designed by Pininfarina, you know, those same guys who helped Ferrari design many of their cars. , but I mean, from a company like Pinning for Arena, you'd expect a more streamlined, curvy shape, right? But hey, I'm not complaining. I am also a fan of square cars, however, not everything is square, I mean, there are some design elements that are characteristic of the

peugeot

505, such as the bonnet that tapers downwards to give the car that significant appearance along with those headlights converging downwards. which reminds me a bit of the old nissan sky gtr, the pgc10, and also these dimpled sections on the fenders along with the convex shape of the body along the sides and also a small ducktail at the rear only to give it that sporty look, but the One really interesting part of the 505 is the bumpers.

As you know, like many older European cars, they were known to be very tough, especially the bumpers. Long story short, the 505 was actually my dad's first car back then, he had a 505 gr. so it was a little different than this, which is the gti and my old man likes to talk about that time when he was driving his 505. He was hit from behind by a car whose make and name I won't mention because that would just be insulting the car manufacturer, but as a clue it was Japanese, so this Japanese car hit my dad's 505 from behind and when he got out and looked behind it, the car that hit him was completely destroyed, like the front end was completely destroyed. to the point where the hood was completely bent, but my dad's 505 didn't have a single dent, so you know that my dad bought this 505 in the '90s and the 505 was built in the early '80s, so You know the car that hit him was a lot newer than his 505 and yet his 505 survived the accident, but what really draws me to this car is the interior.

Now the interior is designed by Paul Breck, the same man who designed the Mercedes 280sl and Mercedes 600, and there are some interesting ones. Features on the interior such as one of the most notable features of the 505 is that the horn is on the side of the steering wheel rather than on it, the widow controls on the center console like some older Mercedes appendages and the central locking next to window controls. and of course it's a manual, I mean this car to be exact has a five speed manual transmission and there's also a really unique feature of this 505 is that, you know, in most modern cars if you have a heater installed.

You will have individual buttons for the heat, heated windows and air conditioning. Well in this car you have buttons for individual combinations, instead at the top you have the heated windows and then below that are the heated windows and the heater, below that is the heater. alone and then there is the heater with air conditioning and then only the air conditioning I don't really understand why you need a heater in this country I mean here you have scorching temperatures or heavy rain with scorching temperatures but the best thing about the 505 is the seats because let me tell you these seats are the most comfortable seats I've ever been in, not just in any car, but in any seed like these seeds are very, very soft like the ones I've been in, you know.

Newer S class and I sat in the back seats and they were not as soft as these or even this one is more comfortable than my sofa at home so when you sit in this car you just sink into the seat so a little of consumerism. A word of advice if you are looking for a new sofa for your home instead of going to Ikea, simply visit your nearest Peugeot dealer and see if they have spare parts for a Persa 505, that is, if they can find any now in terms of boot capacity. To be honest, you get quite a bit, to be exact, you get 18.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity in the rear.

Now, in terms of dimensions, the Peugeot 505, the sedan version, at least measures 180.3 inches long with a wheelbase of 108 inches, 56.4 inches tall and 68.4 inches. inches wide, all with an aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.37. Now, in terms of the engine, this gti is equipped with a 2.2-liter inline four-cylinder engine to be exact, 2165 cc, it produces around 120 horsepower and 133 pound-feet of torque and a 0 -60 from a

505 has a predecessor, the peugeot 504, there it is and When this car was new, I had the challenge of maintaining the reputation that the 504 had of being an extremely comfortable car, especially on bumpy roads, and to be exact, I took that 504 for a spin and that's one One of the most comfortable car trips I've ever had.

I have ever been on potholes, especially on the road, like it literally glides over them with no problems, so I also went for a spin in the peugeot 505 and I must say it still maintains the same reputation along with the very soft seats, the car was extremely comfortable on the bumps in the road as well as on those same bumps in the road it just glided and the camera didn't even shake so yes I must say this car is still one of the most comfortable cars on the ones I've been to and yes, that's my video on the peugeot 505 gti and thank you all for watching, like and subscribe if you haven't and yes, see you in the next video.

Bye, can I just say that at the beginning of this video it was very sunny where only my eyes were? being tortured by the sun and now it's just cloudy
