Peugeot 309 1.9 GRDT 5d (1992/K) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Good basic family runabout.
Costs
Dealer parts prohibitively expensive and take ages to arrive - pattern parts are considerably cheaper and often arrive in Peugeot packing!
-
On the road
Driving
Generally drives well but can be a handfull when loaded.
Performance
Engine crude by today's standards but can still be fun to drive. I can still get 50+ mpg - my wife gets 60+.

Living with it
Reliability
Engine doesn't miss a beat and starts first time every time. Everything else just falls to bits.
Image
!? I wear a brown bag over my head when I drive it.
Comfort
Seats are well shaped and support well on longer journeys.
-
Security and Service
Security
It has door locks. I suppose no self-respecting thief would be seen dead in one.
Service
Peugeot dealers can be a hit or miss affair - I once had to wait 9 days for sump plug washers to be ordered.
