1991 Peugeot 309 GL 1.6
Summary:
This car is a hoot for no money. The GTI must be a peach
Faults:
A few issues with jamming front calipers. Otherwise faultless.
General Comments:
Although it looks like grandmas shopping car, I have found this car to be very reliable and comfortable.
Motorway speeds can be held all day without too much strain. 400 mile non stops are a regular occurrence, and she ticks over beautifully at the end.
I have been very surprised by this car, which is why I have kept her for so long. I can even shock the boy racers in the twisty stuff, such is the feedback from the chassis. The car is softly sprung like all the French stuff, but when the body roll reaches the end, the grip is tenacious. It is worth spending the extra money on good tyres however
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Welcome to the wonderful world of French automotive machinery! :-)
It is a very under-estimated vehicle, excellent handling & willing engines, but just wait until you get to try a Citroen BX16v... quite simply awesome! Even more so when you see how cheap they are.
