Bought in 2000, and apparently about to try to sell it off to make a bit of money to pay off some of Fords' debts.

Bill,

The seat fabric makes quite a difference too!....I find that a decent leather interior seems to tow a lot better than cloth due to it's slippery surface.

In other words...the more torque the better the tow...it's simple really.

We have the 2.2 155bhp Ghia X estate and as I've said before it pulls like the bloody flying scotsman. I havn't driven the new model, but if it's better than the 2.2 that we have then WOW that will be some tow car, my ideal tow car would have the space of the vectra estate, the pulling power of the mondeo 2.2 and the suspention of the Citreon C5.

Oh, you mean the Vauxhall Omega MV6 then.

Never been that fond of leather, the one I liked was the velour in the Rover. But as to the more torque the better it pulls, perhaps but as I said my Volvo hadd more torque and more power than my Rover yet the Rover was a far more relaxed towcar, the big difference was the gear ratios and the engine speed where the max torque was produced.

Now the TDCi diesel puts them both to shame.
