    Poor design. Already looked old when it was introduced. That said, the GTI was very capable iirc. Also the 309 wasn't a Peugeot at all, it was the last Talbot, given the Peugeot badge. I can see the 309GTI become a classic alright.

    The 309 wasn't all Talbot, spot the 205 doors. :D

    Also, a common trick was to put the 309GTi drives/Hubs/Struts & Wishbones in a 205GTi. It widened the front track by 10mm (iirc) and greatly improved handling in the 205

    The Rear Axle is also a common swap in 205/309's

    I imagine that most 309's were scrapped for engine/'box/Front suspension & rear axle into 205's
