| PERFORMANCE RATING: |
 |
The 180bhp 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine is at the top end of the 307 performance league. It feels swift enough, but with 0-62mph in a relatively sedate 8.2secs, this engine isn't about hot-hatch kudos, it's more about relaxed punch. The naturally aspirated 2.0-litre petrol engine also feels crisp in its response and has ample pulling power, while the 1.6 petrol is lively if you work it hard. The 90bhp 1.6 HDI diesel struggles a bit, but if you maintain momentum and keep the engine running in the right part of the rev range to delivers its best pull, it surfs along effortlessly and commendably quietly. The 110bhp version suits the car best, but it's not cheap; the most powerful 2.0 HDI 136, with a six-speed manual gearbox, is the best motorway cruiser, but is so nose-heavy, it's no fun to drive.
