1990 Peugeot 309 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and fun a brilliant first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car needed a new exhaust and was overheating. The overheating was caused by a faulty earth connection which blew the fuse every time the fan tried to come on. It won't start now when it has warmed up. It will jump start though.
General comments?
Good handling, but not in the wet.
Performance is good and is as quick as most hot hatches don't try and mess with the big boys in M3's they make you look stupid!
Insurance is loads cheaper than a 205.
