1991 Peugeot 309 Reviews - Page 4 of 4

Fitted new starter motor, vacuum advance, fuel pressure regulator & serviced the car.

Very fast car. Keeps up with Punto GT Turbos. Beats most other so called hot hatches.

The car does 30mpg.

Plenty of knocks, squeaks and rattles, but fun to drive.

Excellent road handling. Brakes are good.

Find a good car breakers yard for spares. Don't use the main dealers.

The self-adjusting system for the rear brakes just never works.

Interior is frequently falling apart.

Needs many oil changes.

The bright side is, it's a darn good "semi-sports car". I have noticed that not many cars with bigger engines stand a chance when my 309's on her best!!

Handling is outrageous when you lower her and stiffen her up.

Broken glove box lid.

Loose drivers door.

Brake discs & pads overheated (too thin) @ 98,000 miles.

Drivers seat knackered.

This car has been completely bombproof and has never failed to start.

Economy not as good as I expected because the auto choke stays on for about 25-30 miles from startup, but on a long journey it's superb.

Ride, steering and handling are very good (more grip and faster steering than my old Mini) but it is just so dull. The interior is brown and the exterior is beige, it's just extremely boring and I want a MK2 Golf Driver. In red.

It's a shame its so boring cos it could make 200,000 miles easy. Performance is better than you'd expect for a diesel, but it's no ball of fire. Very practical and it only cost £900 and for that I got PAS, central locking, sun roof and leccy windows. Hoping to sell it for a grand.

If you want a very good car and aren't bothered about looks there's none better for the money, if you want excitement look elsewhere.

Fuel cap didn't open in Winter. Glovebox locking system broke several times. Have driven over 100 000 km and all plastic parts of the car have started to make a noise.

Generally a good car if taken care of. Pretty good acceleration and economical. Very reliable. AND NO RUST AT ALL!!

After getting the car at 38,000 miles all filters were changed, oil changes were done, K&N filter put on, and a new cam belt.

Good car up until 92,000 miles, regular oil changes had been done every 4,000 miles along with filter and a new radiator at 70,000 miles.

At 92,000 miles exhaust went - not bad for an 8 year old exhaust, but then the turbo went and the head gasket and then the cylinder head. Peugeot's are crap to work on.

Although good on fuel, attaining 60 to the gallon was not hard. But the replacement of parts offsets the cost of the gains of fuel consumption. I've had Peugeot's all my life and am finally gonna go Japanese. Stuff the French.
