i have got a toyota surf at the moment but we are going back to a car instead of a 4x4.

thanks

hi blain,  i have recently brought a 2001 y reg vauxhall vectra 2.2 dti & can honestly say that i am really impressed with it, why towing my caravan last week at 55-60 mph i was getting 33mpg which i thought was really good, dont no what weight your caravan is mine is only just over a ton but the car towed it very well,

   cheers eddy & co

What about a compromise between car and 4X4? Like a Subaru Forester?

This months Caravan and camping magazine says vectras are a good buy for around £8000 and the list of toys you can get inside are good too,worth a look.

2005 VAUXHALL VECTRA 2.2i Direct Design 5dr Hatchback, 17,000 miles, as new, dab radio, six cd auto changer, trip computer, cruise control, remote locking, alloy wheels, air conditioning, electric windows, electric mirrors, colour coded door handles, colour . . . . (private)

We upgraded from a Zafira 1.6 to a Vectra 2.2LS which pulls the caravan with no problems and get good MPG.

We tow with a 02 Mondeo TDi 2 litre.no problems with 1150 kg , will hold 60 mph easily all day long and return over 30mpg at the same time. Handling  is superb as is solo performance.Pick a good one up for around 4k.
