Got a 120 and just as good. 120 is more reliable than the 150 but both are good. Just make sure the front suspension doesn't squeak. Try www.vectra-c.com for advice

We have the 120(estate) pulls our Solaris(1450kg) no problem. But I am looking at putting Mad spring assistors on to firm up the rear a bit. We have two large dogs in the back.
