My 307d was a 22' Class A motorhome with a 5 spd manual. It would do 64-67mph on the motorways without a problem as long as it was flat. It was quick to slow down in hilly country and it wasn't a great speedster 0-60mph. But it was downright astonishing that the little 616 engine had been effectively pulling that vehicle around for 130k miles without a hesitation.

My 409d has the 617na. I believe 0-40mph it's quicker than a 123 with an auto tranny. But it has a lower geared rear end than my 307d (I think) and the engine is really turning fast at 65mph.
