Peugeot 307 2.0 Feline first drive

The jury is out on the facelifted 307's styling, but the minor interior mods work. As for the Feline: exclusive but flawed.

Surprisingly good, but needs to be cheap to tempt buyers from more established brands.

Good value Sport brings some appealing extras. A keener drive, but hardly exciting and ride can be fidgety.

Not quite good enough yet, but expect the facelifted car to offer top value. Cabbies should form an orderly queue.

Mazda 5 2.0 first drive

The 5 strikes a good balance between driver appeal and practicality. Diesels should be better still.

Very spacious for five. It's a shame other MPVs offer a lot more for a lot less.
