  New 307 Beats Golf on Emissions 23 Oct 2001 (News)
  Figures for the Peugeot are 54.3mpg in the combined cycle and 138g/km CO2 compared to the VW's 52.3mpg and 148g/km CO2. Both cars qualify for the lowest 2002-2003 VED rate for a diesel of £110. Of course, with just 110bhp and 188 lb ft (255Nm) torque compared to 130bhp and 228 lb ft (310Nm), the 307 is a fair bit less lively than the Golf and lacks the Golf's sixth gear.
