We have the estate version, a 54 plate and it is great for towing, our last car was a Peugeot 406 estate and my husband who does all the towing says the renault is much better,

We have had one of these estate cars six speed gearbox and it returned 32 miles per gallon towing a 4 berth van pleanty of power and without the van it give 50 per gal

We've got an '07 plate 2.2dci estate and are looking into buying our first van. The kerbweight of the car is 1530kgs meaning we should be able to tow up to around 1300 kgs on the old 85% guide. Looking at a Bailey Ranger 540/6 which comes in with an MTPLM of 1350 kgs which would appear to be OK. However, in the handbook it says the max permissible towing weight braked is 1500 kgs driver only and 1150 kgs in all other cases. Is this to be adhered to or should I really only be worried about keeping the outfit under max train weight?

Ta!
