1987 Peugeot 309 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Very capable, under-rated car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering reservoir leaked when I crashed into the back of a 106! This was cheap to replace direct from Peugeot.
Master cylinder failed due to brake fluid boiling. When bleeding the brakes through after replacing the master cylinder, the bleed nipples broke in the caliper... new calipers!
Exhaust back-box fell off when playing with an RS Turbo.
Dash board smoked when the wiring for the headlights burnt out.
General comments?
Performance, especially handling is unreal, even good comments from fanatics of other brands. Tyres fail before the car stops gripping.
Sounds fantastic, partly due to carbon race can.
Seats hold you in place and are comfortable on long journeys.
