The Peugeot 309 was a compact hatchback manufactured by the French automaker Peugeot from 1985 to 1993. It was introduced as a replacement for the Peugeot 305 and aimed to compete with popular models like the Ford Fiesta, Opel Corsa, and Volkswagen Golf. The 309 was available in a variety of body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a five-door estate variant. The 309 was praised for its sharp handling, comfortable ride, and attractive styling. It was also known for its good fuel economy and competitive pricing. The 309 was powered by a range of petrol and diesel engines, with displacements ranging from 1.1 to 1.9 liters. The 309 continued the use of the well-regarded X-series engine, which had been previously used in the Peugeot 205. The 309 was a successful model for Peugeot, selling over 1.6 million units worldwide during its production run. It was replaced by the Peugeot 306 in 1993.

Despite its success, the 309 faced some criticism. The dashboard design was somewhat dated, and some found the interior materials to be of average quality. While it delivered a comfortable and well-controlled ride, the chassis was not widely regarded as being a particularly sporty or exciting one. Despite these shortcomings, the Peugeot 309 remained a popular choice for buyers seeking a practical and reliable hatchback. It established itself as a solid contender in the growing compact car market. As with many vehicles of this generation, the 309 is now considered a classic, and is often sought out by enthusiasts who appreciate its blend of affordability, practicality, and driving pleasure. The Peugeot 309 is a testament to Peugeot's ability to build cars that are both stylish and functional. If you are looking for a classic compact car that is both fun to drive and affordable, the Peugeot 309 is a great option.
