Peugeot 309 1.6 SRi 5d (1988/F) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Very affordable now due to ugly looks and lack of style.
Costs
Parts are cheap due to numbers of broken 309s in scrap yards.

On the road
Driving
Noisy and rattly. Steering heavy, but precise.
Performance
Reasonably lively but engines suffer if over-revved.

Living with it
Reliability
Temperamental European electrics and poor engines are a hassle.
