1988 Peugeot 309 GLD Diesel review from UK and Ireland
"A brilliant bargain - snap one up"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition switch failed in 2001. Radiator sprung a leak this year.
Clutch failed this year.
General comments?
I feel this car has given me a great service through the last 6 years. Always starts first time (touch wood! I hate tempting fate!). A very smooth inexpensive reliable friend. I had a mini before and got this one when I had a child cos I couldn't fit the pushchair in the mini. I didn't think I'd like it at all as I always like cars with "character". But it has a lot of characer and is a joy to drive, in fact everyone I've ever let drive it is surprised at how good it is. I have had several offers from people who want to buy it after driving it, but Betty isn't for sale!
