ALWAYS join the motorway at the same speed as the flow, never been a problem in the 306 as far as I can remember. I tend to drive on motorways at about 65. I honestly don't think I've ever needed to have the 306 flat out except for when I was testing the clutch!
I don't have the need to overtake much, so not a problem. Unless it's a tractor or cyclist of course. I'd rather wait for a safe spot to overtake. Seen too many near misses and in fact deaths to take a chance.
Point is, if it keeps up with traffic (which it does easily on all roads) it's fast enough. I don't find I'm holding up other normal motorists. I'm no boy racer, and I don't really care for driving fast. I just go with the flow.
Other cars are currently an MG TF and a Berlingo 1.6HDi. My first car was a Triumph 1500TC, about the same power as the 306! That kept up with traffic too :-) If I want to give it the beans, I'll take the MG. If I want to get somewhere cheap I'll take the 306.
