1992 Peugeot 309 Graffic review from Israel
"A great fun - when it's not sick"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Too many electrical problems - battery, coil, alternator, sparking cables, bulbs.
The dash plastic has a very poor quality - the glove box cover and the fuses cover, as well as the gear handle were broken.
Metallic paint doesn't last the Israeli sun.
Apart from these - only normal wear.
General comments?
Though the reliability of the car is not what I expected (was supposed to be better than the Fiat!) and the maintenance cost is very high, the way the car handles the road is a great experience.
For the price it costs in Israel (equal to a VW Golf 5 years older!), I think it's the best buy.
