Cheers. I haven't got the money for my next car yet and you put this up and it's probably right on my doorstep lol. Hope to get some money soon so may have to have a look...

 

blimey aint seen one of them for a while mind u i did not like them back then

 

Thinking about it I have seen one park behind my work but swear that one was green. I am partially colour blind though so it was probably this car lol

 

Seen a red one tonite in Stoke,it was also for sale.

 

lol i remember getting my ars handed to me trying to race one in my xr2

 

strange that, as there is still plenty of 205 gti still about!
and some say the 309 was better.

 

My mate had one , not bad little cars but I think there was a thing with them where if you got a little bit air born the hand brake locked up the back wheels , I think that's what it was anyway

 

im quite a fan of the 309 gti i would have a 5 door

 

I used to have a red one, on 17's lowered to fuck. Loved it.

Didn't take a single picture of it

 

always liked 309`s had an xsi but killed the clutch the first day i got it

Johnny Bravo on here has a mental cossie powered one

 

Sounds fun to me!

 

Why is there a swear filter??

Fuck.... Cunt.... Shit...

 

That's weird!

 

Cousin had one. Smashed it to bits saddly.

 

Rare-ish maybe, desirable no (imo)

 

Bizarrely enough, I saw what looked like an absolute minter of a 309 gti goodwood today over in the forest of Dean..

 

rab you on one tonight or something

 

a mate of mine had a g plate 5 dr in red back in 93, they had the 1.9 engine, it used to go like shit off a shovel, he smashed it up over taking, the bloody idiot, it needed 2 new front wings and a new rear 1/4 panel, and they bloody repaired it, he still drove like a twat afterwards

 

Guy up my road has had a white one for at least 15 years....its spent its entire life outside his garage under a cover...got a subtle bodykit on it and rarely hear him start it up...sounds mad....

Also got a 205gti in the garage pretty much the same.. white with same alloys/bodykit and thats not been out the garage for a good 6-10 years.

 

My first post said i lowered it to fuck

I come back and it's lowered it to ****

I didn't type ****.....

That and I'm bored

 

allways wanted one,bought one 3dr in black e plate.Drove it from oldham to stoke and stuck it through the block 2 days later Still not sure why 18 years later.All my mates had owned or did own 205's and I wanted to be different .I still look at them now and think hmmm or maybe gte number 6 .

 

my friend had one red late H plate 3 door (nicer tailights and front lights)

slammed on the standard wheels and still got five people in (7 on one occasion)

no difference between its little brother the 205gti as we had many races with them. if anything the 309 was slightly better as first gear was looooong (indicated 49mph)

fond memories....i bought renault 19 16v and battered him though

 

theres a lovely red one around Folkestone

 

i had a beige/brown/goldy coloured 309 1.6 sri 5 door.

was a reasonable car, but in the first few days of owning it the started packed in, luckily i lived on a hill so could bump it. when it came to change the bastard i had to take pretty much the whole front end off the car to do it...

then a week later a lad from schoold mum it turned out, pulled out in front of me at a roudabout and wrote it off

had it about a month all in

got a 205 gti after that

 

I had one in black 10 years ago, it had shit loads of work done to it was unbelievably quick but suffered from ridiculous understeer!!!

Put it into the back of an old shape micra who had decided to turn left on a no left turn, parked it on the side of the road intending to pick it up the next day, and when i arrived................. no wheels, both door locks ripped out and the best bit A WOMAN with her knickers round her ankles, clutching a tin foiled evian bottle asleep on the back seat!!!!!!!

It needed a wing, headlight and a bit of paint, but the smell inside would have taken more effort to get rid of than i was prepared to put in!

 

It was mate, much preferred driving one of these than the 205. Everyone I know said the same.

 

much less twitchy i thought.....did suffer from understeer though

 

cool. i guess they were a bit longer and wider rear track.. never driven a 309 though.

 

I loved my old 309, DTM exhaust, Ecosse crap in various places, superb!

 

There's one local to me that gets rallied, its a special edition (what are they called, its in a dark green colour?)

 

Goodwood edition.

 

Thats the one! Found a pic of it

 

A mate of mine has a VERY rare Genuine 309 GTi16, LHD......worth a fair bit

 

i had a white 3dr gti. loved it, and still think 3dr's look nicer than the 205. after coming from a montego 1.6 (stacked it within 2 days) then a cav sri(1.8i) the pug felt ''lively'' and understeer/wheelspin became par for the course. not tweaked rs turbo quick but would make fun of similar n/a cars. it made me realise how shit the sri was in 1.8 guise. ps i was only 17 with ''very little'' driving experience. im a good boy now though. would have another 309 for the right money.

 

Ive seen a few of them where i live.

 

Mate of mine had a bright yellow one, we were gunning it down the local dual carriage way one night and the big slide back glass roof thing blew off
