This is what AltaVista Babelfish makes of it...

Crummy English, but it's sorta readable :)

The clever idea of the half-compartment-convertible invented by Mercedes on the top-of-the-range one and applied to town, by Peugeot, carries on its way. Design If our 2 half-compartments convertibles use the same functionality of the retractable rigid roof, it does not prevent, the 307 and Mégane exploits quite different registers stylistics. The projecting lines and provocantes, the cut frankly marked features with blow of bill hooks of Mégane, are opposed to the voluptuous lines with the curves fine and coated with Peugeot. Carrying the prestigious Pininfarina claw, more balanced 307, the chart of the seduction plays. Renault signed Karmann, car advantageously part of a very modern style and more sharpened. Here, two schools clash, a business of taste, there is with you to choose. Coupé/cabriolet A half-compartment for the winter, a convertible for the summer, the retractable rigid roof largely makes forget the good old woman hoods in fabric. Also effective, also fast and also simple to use, the roof is unfolded and folded up into 20 dryness on our models. But it must be able to be retracted in the trunk while offering a minimum of place for the luggage. A solution partly solved on Peugeot, a serious problem on Mégane. If on paper, one notes a much better capacity on Renault when the roof is unfolded, Mégane loses any sound advances in the contrary case. It becomes far from practical in more with use. Peugeot thus found a better compromise, favours here with the DC. The detail: Large advantage, Mégane is the only one to propose a roof out of glass. Life on board Approval, comfort, equipment, 307 DC and Mégane Half-compartment-Convertible are easy to live. The lioness offers a more rigorous and particularly neat completion. The quality of assembly, irreproachable. The materials used almost make us forget that we are on board one 307, one thus worked at Peugeot. On the other hand, Renault remained more feverish on general quality. Undoubtedly less smart, more plastic, more austere also, Mégane, in spite of always a too tilted base driver, thus obstructing the position of control, is caught up with partly on a better habitability, in particular in the back places. A truth more. We are more with narrow in Peugeot, thus prefer young children that large adults. The detail: The elbow of the passenger too often touches the button window winder of the 307 DC, well badly placed, to re-examine!

At power equivalent, Peugeot 307 DC, heavier, has more evil to be started again in the low modes. The 2L, Renault gasoline, in addition noisy, remain more effective and assisted well better by one limps fast and staged well. But frame 307, very rigid, is adapted better to the architecture of the car. More balanced, 307 offer a better behavior in supports, thanks to a rigorous damping and to a direction incisor and precise. With its nose gear less flexible, the less stable back, Mégane suffers more in the sinuous parts. Still favour to the 307 DC. The detail: very retracted, the belt of safety of Mégane causes dreadful vibrations on the chest, to re-examine! Equipped both with rich and adapted equipment, Peugeot 307 less expensive gains without question this duel (2.0L 16 V, 138 expensive, 24.500?). It is more convincing, more homogeneous also (2.0L, 16 V 136 CH, 25.500?). Renault will be able to be comforted, since he is the only manufacturer to propose a diesel motorization on his half-compartment cab, an argument of size in the ultimate choice.
