If you managed well with the Mondeo Estate then another one of those is probably going to work for you.

I went for a second hand Discovery, but I also need to drag trailers into remote offroad fields. I have a bike rack that fits to the rear door, through the spare wheel, which carries 4 bikes and still allows me to tow the caravan.

 The old shape Mondeo is getting cheaper now due to the new one coming out.We have the old shape estate which has a max tow of 1800kg  Its the diesel and to be honest you could easily forget you were towing It drives fantastic! Its only a year old though. The only concern we have with the car is  the 75kg noseweight so we are careful with the loading, we dont take bikes and the kids come in their own cars.

Hope this is of some help.
