1988 Peugeot 309 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"High performance at a cheap price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Different fuses blown.
Major oil leaks.
Starter motor regularly wearing out due to a worn flywheel.
Interior bulbs blown. Dimmer switch blown.
Rear quarter windows jammed closed.
Rattly heatshield.
General comments?
The car is nice and quick and handles like a dream.
Quick and can take a lot of abuse. It's one heck of a revvy car, just pushing you all the time to go faster.
Loud at high speeds though, but very comfortable.
This car maybe overshadowed by the 205 and is very underrated. If you drove one then you would find out there is a lot people don't know about this car, it is a major wolf in sheep's clothing!
