Hi, I tow with the older shape Astra 1.6 Sxi.  The van weighs 750kg unladen, with a maximum weight of 1000kg.  As long I pack sensibly and keep the noseweight to 75kg then I don't have any problems. Pulls fine at 60mph on motorways even in 5th gear.  The only time I struggle is if I don't have a run up at hills.
