Anyone tow with one of these? What's the consumption (towing and solo) and reliability like?  Five year warranty any good?

Looking for new "SUV" type vehicle to tow with following two Picasso clutch failures at 37K!   Van only 1280KG all up so not too heavy.  Also looked at Honda CRV & Rav4  - good but expensive.  Jeep Compass looks good - but is it up to the job?  Vauxhall Antara cheap as chips - but doesn't get great write ups. New Freelander - bit of an unknown yet?

Open to any suggestions please?

There are a few people on here with tucsons and they all rave abut them,

We don't have a tucson but do have a Hyundai (people carrier) and absolutely love it.

Also look at the kia sportage, its the same as the tucson.

Thanks gazmister - I've read through these and Tucson comes out well.

looking at the "Style" model which has reversing sensors - anyone know if these will interfere with a fixed towbar?  Phoned Indespension and they said they always recommend removable bars when reversing sensors are fitted - but they are a lot dearer!   Do I really need one?

Thanks kerrysdad and pikerwoods.  Actually a near new ex demo I'm looking at so engine should be slightly better and more economical then. (148BHP now I believe?)  It is black though...!  My wife said it's a crazy colour to get and it'll be hellish to keep clean - but it does look good in black!  I told her it'll give her something to do on Sunday mornings.....!

Thanks again guys.
