Peugeot 307 Feline

The Feline is available with three or five doors and features unique alloys, as well as full leather upholstery and white dials. There's plenty of pace from the 2.0-litre engine, but while the low overall gearing is great for acceleration, it does little for fuel economy. At motorway speed it cries out for a sixth ratio, while the gearchanges are disappointing, with over-long throws, and the sharp brakes need concentration to maintain smooth progress. However, the combination of precise steering, tidy handling and a decent ride make the Feline a fun B-road companion.
