i think you probably need to give a bit more info about the car...., like year, diesel or petrol etc

or just look in the owners manual. it should tell you the max towing weight in there

We tow our Lunar at around 1100 kg with its big brother the 1.8 Civic and it tows fine, but you do have to use your gears on steep hills and headwinds.

I have no experiance of towing with an automatic car, but from the Civic's bodyweight which is very similar for both engine sizes, i would quiery if you may stuggle somewhat with a smaller engined car already carrying a fairly heavy bodyshell.

Why not try www.WhatTowcar.com and see what your intended match compares like on their website.

I have just had alook at the website to satisfy my own curiousity lol

Although i could not find your model of caravan listed, i based it on a similar van with those weights and allowed 250kg for load and personal posestions, so the car would theorectically be expected to tow a total of 1000kg.

Im sorry, but it isnt good news, they rate the match as being one where you would have a fair few problems with the power of your car towing such a van, at just 64kw engine power, the caravan is going to be too heavy to make decent headway on anything other than a very flat road, which in turn would make for along and tedious journey for you, even in fine weather without the headwinds we all suffer from time to time.
