Hi there,    we tow with the vectra 19cdti 150 bhp estate with no problems at all, we tow an Abbey vogue 417 and the vectra just laughs at it, one of the best tow cars we have had, getting about 32mpg when towing

Try www.parkers.co.uk. It won't tell you the weight of your caravan, but it'll tell you the weight of the car and what weight you can tow.  I found that whattowcar.com told me every combination was ideal!

My previous car was a Vectra 1.9 CDti150 Sri and as Stu says, it just laughs at it. My current car is a Zafira with the same engine, and it's also a great tow car. If you want a Vectra, it's probably best to go for the estate version as it's got a longer wheelbase, which makes a lot of difference.

Iv'e got the 1.9 CDTI SRI and it tows like a dream.Ps it weighs 1535 kg and has a 78kg hitch load.Go for it..

buy a signum 2.2 dti direct far better than the vectra and they suffer a lot less can-bus probs than the vectra.

working for vauxhall in newport we see a lot of probs with the vectra c model year 2005 on and its mostly 40k miles onwards (all the fiat engine stuff)

all i can say is beware of high mileage models and stick to dealers that offer a good network q warranty
