Hi Guys

I always get my car through the lease car scheme at work and they let me have a towbar fitted to tow my (smallish) Lunar Ariva GTS caravan. Up until recently we've pretty much had a free reign over what car we can have but now we have been told we can only lease something with CO2 emissions less that 145. I'd really wanted the Freelander, but unfortunately this is a no go as the emissions are too high. Anyone have any suggestions please, I like a "high up" type of car.

Thanks :)

Skoda Yeti. It's what I've replaced my Freelander with.

To see what is available go to the comcar website and have a look.
First thoughts was a Peugeot 3008, but that is 146 on the CO2.

New Ford C max (2.0 litre, 134) and Grand C Max (2.0 litre, 139) should be worth a look.

SAAB 1.9 twin turbo diesel, latest models are free from road tax on initial registration and available in 3 power outputs.  Going to have a look myself sometime soon. Don't know how heavy they are though.
