Lots of choice - depends on your budget really

Use www.parkers.co.uk to search models and use the "facts and figures" tab and "dimensions" for kerbweights of all models

Honda CRV newer models with diesel engine are over 1700kg

Mondeo estate 2.0Tdci Tttianium in auto guise is over 1600kg i think so not that far off the guideline 85%

BMW 5 series? Some of the C/E class Mercs

whoa madmum your confusing yourself ,the laden weight and miro (mass in running order) are basically one and the same thing ,i think you need to take a deep breath ,step back and tell us more details

make and model of caravan
weight unladen
weight fully loaded

you have already stated the present owner is towing with a passat ? any car in that weight /power bracket will suffice .as i said in your other thread a more powerfull towcar is often a recipe for disaster anyway as it makes you to confident and comfortable and very often leads to excessive speed whilst towing on motorways ,which is in itself lethal

Don't rule the Mondeo out just yet. I tow the same weight with a Mondeo and it feels steadier than it was with a 4X4 which came out at well under 85%. I was concerned when I changed the car at going to 92% but the Mondeo is rock steady. Mine is the 130PS hatchback.

Also it has a 1800 kgs tow limit and a 90kgs noseweight limit which other manufactures just can't match and with a Stirling eccles you will need a high noseweight with the gas bottles in the front locker getting it below 85kgs will be hard work.
