Peugeot 309 1.6 SRi 5d (1989/F) Owner Review

Economy
Value
I got one a while back and it was quite a lot of car for 950 pounds.
Costs
Fuel economy not terrible but bits fell off all over the place.

On the road
Driving
Good handling, but I beleive the stories of having this age of Pugeot upside down in the bushes - I nearly did it!
Performance
Very brisk during the 1.6's reign, but the 1.9 16 valve I had put in it stuck a rocket up its behind.

Living with it
Reliability
Driveshafts went twice. Lots of small electrical glitches. Hoses kept needing replacing.
Image
Very understated - no body looks twice. I quite liked the looks though.
Comfort
Nice comfy seats and velour interior. Noisy at high speeds.

Security and Service
Security
Laughable - I could break in to it!
Service
Serviced and repaired the car myself, but the parts office at the local dealership were okay.
