The auto has a towing limit of 1500kgs, ( tends to hunt between 4th and 5th when towing) manual 2000kgs, performane in snow depends on the tyres fitted (Dunlop ST30 M+S as standard). Not a true 4x4 but detects wheel slippage and goes into 4 wheel drive automatically. I tow an Amara 520/4 with a2010 iDtec auto , no problems, mpg 22-26 mpg depending on journey /type of road/traffic etc. Mpg solo averages 35, have managed 49mpg solo on a 70 mile run to Lincolnshire but used a VERY light right foot.
Honda towbar from main dealer £735,with twin electrics, ask for a towing kit (same thing but this is specified if ordered from the factory) and it is £685. Prices correct August 2012. This is my second CRV and never had a problem.It will be much better in snow than the Mazda 6 due to availability of 4 wheel drive.
