You rang, have a look at the new superb go for the 2ltr 140 or 170 bhp tdi with DSG, or even the big daddy, the 4x4x version

Consider that a larger 4x4 will cost more to run and the road tax can be more than double that of the mondy,

If you want a 4x4 just to leave lying around most of the year, why not try and find an old landrover 110 diesel, it can be insured under classic car insurance saving shed loads of money,( if over a certain age) and road tax free, and should return 30 plus mpg

Heres an example http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C404801

I think the CRV is a bit of a wimp and would go for the X Trail in preference.

If you want a seriously good towcar see here;

Can't fault it

We've looked and tried many cars this weekend. From the Mitsubishi outlander to a subaru. We looked at the nissan Xtrail [too wee inside, felt claustrophobic]and test drove a fair number of them too.

The car that came out top [for us] was the Skoda superb with dsg. It had so many added extras [our son loved the back with it's own air vents in the pillars and cup holders and storage in the centre arm rest for him and his sister]. The boot was perfect for us with our dog too.

Today we contacted the garage...and the car will be ours once they've added the towbar.

What i'd say is go out and try the cars you are looking at, test drive them and look at how the space etc works for you....you may be surprised!

It's the 140 car tdi . It's 11 months old with 6000 on the clock is the Se plus and we got a brilliant deal.

For us , it's the poshest car that we'll have ever had and certainly has more gadgets than you can shake a stick at!!

I learnt to drive in a Skoda Octavia and loved it...
