A victim of the recent floods up here in Hull was my Renault Espace and I am now left with having to by a new tow car. We don't really need a 7 seater any more so we are looking at possibly a saloon or something you can sit up in. After having 3 french cars on the trot, I don't want another one, the parts are expensive and they are a pain to work on (so my mechanic says!).

I think turbodiesel 2 litre 2 wheel drive  would be a good idea. Isn't the tax going up on the petrol 4x4's? 

The choice seems to be endless, what about Japanese or far east cars, Kia etc are they any good. Also, whats the best British tow car you can get.

I'm looking to spend between 5-6 grand so something on an 02 plate is about as you as I can hope for. I going to tow an 02 Lunar Clubman

Ideas & recommendations please.

Mondeo TDI?  Passatts always seem to be a favorite too

Mondeo tdci lots of cars available in that price range of that year or newer with less than 40k miles on the clock. Pulls a caravan up to 1450kg easily and returns 35mpg doing it. Without the caravan mpg is between 45 and 60 depending how you use it.
