Hi guys and girls
We are looking for a tow car we tow a erde 143 with the cage on top fully loaded then a roof box on the car with golf clubs etc in
Then 4 bags of cloths In the boot then room in the boot to bring back wine cheese etc from the south of France
We don't really need a SUV as we have a disco for off-roading and for winter use so was thinking more along the lines of a estate or mpv
Do you guys have any ideas thanks

Previously had a Mondeo STTDCi estate and it was a cracking tow car, currently have. Volvo V70 and whilst I don't have a towbar yet I know from experience these tow effortlessly too.

Like the Idea of a skoda maybe not the yeti but maybe one of the other estates
We wont touch a citron never heard a good thing about them and they feel cheep but cost loads at a garage
Mercs aren't much more expensive than most other cars unless you go to a main dealer

I agree, if I could afford a Bentley I would definitely still go camping but perhaps with a Kyte XL by Holtkamper!!

The yeti is a SUV as well and don't want a SUV as I've a 4x4 disco on the drive which is more capable but it's a play car not a car I'd would want to drive to the south of France in in one hit for a family holiday

I have a c class Saloon and love it and looked into them before I got it and parts wise there is not a lot of diffrance between that and a mondeo and labour is the same for Any car
Just was not sure what the estate was like for towing
I had 2 mondeos and I don't like them always feel like they are going to fall apart

Your trailer is unbraked with a max weight of about 550 or 600 kg so most cars would tow that without any problem, it's not the same as towing a 1500 kg caravan. The extra height of your trailer with the cage fitted is still lower than most cars so I think I would go for whatever car I felt happiest driving all year and then load it all up for the annual trip to France.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
