| DRIVING RATING: |
 |
You can sit very high if that's what you want, but even with the driving seat set low (better for a sporty drive) you get a good all-round view out through the deep windows. The huge windscreen makes it easy to see high-set traffic lights, too. The brakes have a progressive, well-weighted, snatch-free action, but the gearshift can be imprecise in some models - it's not slick or intuitive. Parking is easy, thanks to the truncated tail and light steering, although it's hard to judge exactly where that drop-away nose finishes. The steering wheel adjusts for both height and reach. During cornering, the 307 tightens its cornering line snappily when you lift off the throttle, which can help you round a tightening bend entered too quickly, but a rubbery feel intrudes and the steering isn't the pin-sharp experience we expect of Peugeots. The steering is smooth-acting and well weighted, though, and overall the 307 is reasonably entertaining with fluid responses, lots of grip and great balance.
