 hi  PS12  the C5 HDI (high pressure diesel injection) is a diesel engine we average  around 35 mpg towing, ours is an 03 model with the self levelling suspension  we  were advised to buy one with the 2 litre 110 horse power engine because they dont seem to suffer from some of the electrical gremlins that the 2.2 litre model does, also its quite a bit cheaper to service . last november a local car dealer was selling an 05 C5 estate  for £4500 it looked in nice condition and  it sold in just over a week .i am sure that you will have some great holidays in your 470/4

Well we have the Citroen C5 2.2HDI a 2003 model I have found it a perfect tow car with self leveling suspension & cruise control a boon ,allthough I average 27 mpg when towing my 1360kg van we have pulled all over the EU mountains of switzerland & through to croatia with no problems

Solo we get 40/42 average,A car of this age can be got for around £2000  in very good condition

HEY Little Jock Jeff !

That Reply Of Yours was 1st Class

Infact I could not of said it better myself

Yes the Shogun would be an absoulutly perfect towcar BUT at £6 a gallon now for Gogo juice Its Maybe a bit of a waste on such a Tiny little traler !

A Normal Family sized 2ltr Diesel Towcar would be more than Good Enough

Like a Volvo Maybe ?

Hi

Why not go for a Mondeo with 7K to spend you will pick up a nice 3year old new shape model. Cheap to run, with good mpg, will pull almost any single axel caravan so you are not limited if you ever change your caravan. plenty of room for all your gear and good looking as well. What more do you need,

The Skoda Octavia comes in hatch as well

Why not have a look on Auto trader where you will find the car you want, and from a dealer

Hi guys thanks v much for all your replies. I see one reply suggested we post exaclty what type of car we are searching for and the price range. Well we are looking for something between 6-7k don't really need an estate but not adverse to one either. We had heard the skoda was very good for towing. Any other ideas please now you have an idea of price range? Cheers
