Hello mate. I have owned a Vectra 1.9CDTI SRI for 2 years now,and it tows like a dream.150bhp and 1545 kg in weight,I cant fault its towing performance.With my Eldiss Avante 540 hitched up i get 29 mpg at a steady 60ish.

Go for it!

Mk3 Mondeo will out drive a Vectra all day long. much nicer to drive, superb handling . Some of the motoring mags reckon a Mondeo is better to drive than a 3 series BMW.Dunno, never drove the Beemer but it sure goes better than a Vectra.

Not a chance! The Mondeo is outdated and basic and it definately don't go better than a Vectra!
