 | | Unloved, for the most part, by the greater motoring fraternity, the 309 was consigned to a life in the shadows by its ever present little sister, the 205, the prettier and more popular model that everyone wanted to be with. |
 | | What most missed was that, blessed with a wider and longer wheelbase, the 309 was better able to carry the excess weight generated by the XU series of petrol engines. |
 | | However, the most crucial thing to remember about the 309, is that it passed the vast majority of both its mechanical and dynamic DNA to the 306 GTI-6, the greatest car Peugeot has ever built, eclipsing the 205 with a better all-round ownership experience. |
