1987 Peugeot 309 GTI review from France
"A true amazing GTI.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bad quality of some components like turn signal commands and other "small stuffs". Broke the signal turn signal command and the glove-box mechanism without even forcing on it.
General comments?
Over-steering behaviour: fun to play with but requesting some driving skills.
Minimalistic comfort: thus less weight.
Sticks to the road while not lacking comfort: amazing OM suspensions/great chassis design.
Hard to fit two guys in the front with vests on for example: when shifting you may often hit your passenger's elbow.
The power-steering pumps too much, but then it wasn't meant to be use for city but sport use,
