This is a car I doubt I have ever seen on the road before, it’s so rare. Even though the plate suggests it’s here in Hungary at least since the early ‘90s.

So what is this? Wheelarch extension, double round headlights.... oh yes, this is a Citroën Visa GTI.

If it’s a real GTI, then it’s powered by the same engine as the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (the original 1.6 version) so has 105 or 115 HP depending on market. Power goes through a 5speed box to the front wheels. And this example has the exact same Pioneer head unit as i have in my Peugeot.

Wiki says, it received favorable reviews back in the day, but because it has a 5door body, and much less chic anyway, than a 205, it languished in the shadows of that big presence, and never really sold.

And it’s so crazy french, even I’m not sure i would. Are you?

I just hate the Visa... It’s not a bad car, but, as you said, the 205 was much better in every conceivable way.

Sure, it’s appealing due to its rarity, but I’d much rather take any other GTi of the era made by the PSA group - BX, AX, 205...

I’m amazed it survived.

I haven’t seen a Visa of any model for a long, long time.

Yes and no. It sure looks great, but would've been better as a 3door.

As current the owner of a BX and two 205s (GTi and CTi) I agree. Having said that, I would like a Visa with the aircooled flat two.
