Torque? Where? I was expecting to feel some sort of kick from it, seeing as its a turbo diesel afterall.......nope, have to watch the speedo to realise you're actually speeding up! Its like being in the NAD again lol. 
But that really is my main critisism of the car tbh, I wouldn't be bothered by the ~50mpg if it had some power to go with it.
Why would it be too smoky? Other manufacturers got away with it, the PD150 in the mk4 doesnt even have a DPF, just EGR and cat...same as the HDi.
I also dont know why they didnt stick the 110 HDi in the 306 tbh, I totally agree would've sold more, AND would've been easier to get more power reliably as it would already have the IC as well.
